Localized Cryotherapy
A powerful service that naturally reduces pain and inflammation.
What is
Localized Cryotherapy?
Localized Cryotherapy uses cold air at temperatures below -200 degrees F to aggressively remove inflammation and swelling out of an injured area. At nearly 20 times the intensity of an ice pack, you can expect inflammation to effectively jump out of your body from the moment the session starts!

Accelerates Recovery
Accelerates Recovery
Following a localized cryotherapy session, blood is redistributed back into the region. This effect leads to faster recovery for damaged cells due to the increase of oxygen, nutrient, and enzyme availability. All of these have a significant impact on a cell's ability to properly recover from trauma and damage.
