Cryotherapy is the science of exposing the body to sub-zero temperatures of up to -140°C / -220°F in order to stimulate multiple wellness benefits.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
All forms of cryotherapy treatments work on the same principle of reducing the surface temperature of the skin to 4°C wellness benefits.

BENEFITS OF CRYOTHERAPY
Health & Wellbeing
There are several noteworthy medical studies that show the benefits of cryotherapy for people that suffer from stress and have problems sleeping. Cryotherapy is a non-invasive method of inducing relaxation, elevating the mood and reducing stress through naturally increasing endorphin levels in the body.
Preventative Health
People who suffer from pain are now turning to cryotherapy to help them manage and reduce it. During a cryotherapy treatment, the body slows down nerve signal transmissions and releases a neurotransmitter that reduces pain sensitivity. The treatment also speeds up the recovery process by boosting the flow of nutrient-rich blood
Athletic Performance
Athletes of all disciplines are now turning to cryotherapy to help them perform better. With cryotherapy, you can train harder, longer and recover quicker to help you achieve maximum results from your workouts. During a °CRYO Body session, as temperatures rapidly cool, oxygen is pushed through the body to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain and recover the muscles.
Recovery & Healing
Most injuries cause the body to become inflamed and reducing this inflammation is how we recover from injuries. Cryotherapy can help you recover from most injuries much quicker by drastically reducing inflammation and boosting blood circulation throughout the injured area.
Anti-Aging & Beauty
Cryotherapy can help maintain a youthful appearance while reducing the signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes. Cryotherapy stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of skin resulting in a smoother, firmer and more youthful look.
“My orthopedic doctor recommended cryotherapy as I suffer from Achilles tendonitis and need to work out regularly. I found that °CRYO combined with physiotherapy helped me perform at my peak.”
Tomasso, Triathlete
Results may vary based on the individual.
WEIGHT LOSS
Cryotherapy combines science and nature to help promote natural loss of weight. Our treatments help stimulate blood flow throughout the body and boost the delivery of oxygenated blood, which leads to the increase of metabolic rate and in turn, lead to weight loss.
