What is whole-body cryotherapy?

Whole Body Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to temperatures colder than negative 200 degrees Fahrenheit for three minutes. Whole-body cryotherapy uses brief exposure to cold temperatures and is commonly incorporated into wellness and recovery routines. Many clients choose cryotherapy to complement an active lifestyle and support post-exercise recovery.

You stand in a special enclosed chamber for 3-4 minutes while cold air at temperatures between -160 to -200 degrees Fahrenheit circulates around your body. For an optimal whole-body cryotherapy session, we recommend keeping the front window of the chamber closed. For those feeling a little claustrophobic, we do have the ability to open the front window.

Cryotherapy offers a noninvasive option for clients looking to add cold therapy to their wellness and recovery routine. This brief cold exposure creates a unique experience that many clients incorporate into their regular recovery routine.

Why do clients choose cryotherapy?

  • Post-workout recovery
  • Temporary relief of muscle soreness
  • A refreshing wellness experience
  • Complementing an active lifestyle
  • Supporting a regular recovery routine

Many men and women are so impressed by their experience with cryotherapy they incorporate treatments into their monthly wellness routine. Others come in to address specific sports injuries or joint health complaints.

What happens during cryotherapy sessions?

Cryotherapy sessions take very little time and can easily be incorporated into your normal daily routine. When you arrive for your session, you can disrobe to your level of comfort. A robe, socks, gloves, warm slippers, earmuffs, and face mask will be provided.

Once treatment begins, you’ll feel the temperature drop quickly. It’s normal to get shivers and to feel a slight degree of discomfort as the cold air circulates. But you’ll never feel symptoms of hypothermia, and you won’t remain in the chamber long enough to threaten your health.

Treatments take just a few moments, then you can change back into your normal clothing and get back to your day. However, one of the benefits of choosing Activate IV and Cryotherapy LLC is the option to choose a monthly membership package, which allows you to add NormaTecⓇ whole-body compression and oxygen therapy free of charge when you come in for cryotherapy.
