Revitalize Your Body with Cryotherapy
Boost Recovery & Reduce Inflammation with Whole-Body Cryotherapy
Feel energized, reduce pain, and improve your body’s resilience with science-backed cryotherapy. Step into a cryo chamber for 3 minutes and trigger powerful anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and rejuvenating effects that help you perform—and feel—your best.
What is Cryotherapy?
Whole Body Cryotherapy is an advanced wellness therapy that exposes your body to ultra-cold, sub-zero temperatures for up to three minutes in a specialized cryotherapy chamber. This brief, controlled cold exposure activates your body’s natural fight-or-flight response, triggering a series of physiological processes designed to protect, repair, and restore.
As your body is exposed to the cold, blood vessels near the surface temporarily constrict (vasoconstriction), redirecting oxygen-rich blood toward your vital organs. During this process, the body releases endorphins and anti-inflammatory proteins while helping reduce inflammation throughout the body. Once you step out of the chamber, your blood vessels naturally dilate (vasodilation), allowing freshly oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to circulate back through your muscles, joints, and tissues.
This powerful circulation response helps reduce inflammation, relieve aches and pains, accelerate muscle recovery, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Many clients also report increased energy, improved mood, enhanced mental clarity, and an overall sense of rejuvenation after each session.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to recover faster, someone managing chronic discomfort, or simply seeking to optimize your health and wellness, Whole Body Cryotherapy offers a fast, non-invasive way to help your body perform and feel its best—all in just three minutes.

How Cryotherapy Works (The Science Behind It)
Whole Body Cryotherapy exposes your body to sub-zero temperatures for 3 minutes, activating a powerful cold stress response. This stimulates thermogenesis, releases endorphins, and reduces inflammation. The body floods with oxygen-rich blood, boosting stamina, pain relief, and cellular repair.
Step 1
Liquid nitrogen is used to lower the skin’s surface temperature quickly and safely.
Step 2
Your body enters thermogenesis, triggering endorphin release and systemic inflammation reduction.
Step 3
Post-session, your system is flushed with reoxygenated blood—leading to increased energy, improved recovery, better mood, and enhanced sleep.

Who should not use Whole Body Cryotherapy?
The following conditions are contraindications to whole body cryotherapy: Pregnancy, severe Hypertension (BP> 180/100), acute or recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, arrhythmia, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, cardiac pacemaker, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, venous thrombosis, acute or recent cerebrovascular accident, uncontrolled seizures, Raynaud’s Syndrome, fever, tumor disease, symptomatic lung disorders, bleeding disorders, severe anemia, infection, claustrophobia, cold allergy, age less than 18 years (parental consent to treatment needed), acute kidney and urinary tract diseases.
Is cryotherapy comfortable?
The cryotherapy treatment is of short, 3-minute session and the cold air is ‘dry’, so it is very tolerable. Towards the end of the treatment, you may get a ‘pins and needles’ sensation, which disappears almost immediately after the treatment.
Can cryotherapy improve sleep and mood?
Yes, the overwhelming majority of people experience improvement in their sleep cycles. It also is a natural mood booster that can help relieve stress, anxiety & depression with the release of endorphins when you exit the chamber.
How do I feel afterwards?
During each 3-minute session the body releases endorphins. The endorphins help mask pain, make you feel full of energy and elevate your mood.
How many cryotherapy sessions do I need?
Depending on your needs, we typically recommend 3-5 sessions in a week to maximize your results. After that, we recommend “listening” to your body to judge the effectiveness of the response and we can help tailor a program specific to your needs.
What are the risks of whole body cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy is well-tolerated and has minimal risks. You may see a fluctuation in blood pressure during the procedure by up to 10 points (this effect reverses after the end of the procedure). Other risks include redness and skin burn, claustrophobia and in rare cases, allergic reaction to extreme cold.
Can I combine cryotherapy with other therapies?
Yes. Many clients pair cryotherapy with contrast therapy (cold plunge + infrared sauna), compression therapy, or IV drip therapy for a comprehensive recovery session.
