WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY?
Originally introduced in Japan in the 1970s as a way to treat rheumatoid arthritis, Cryotherapy came into mainstream use in Europe in the 1990s by physical therapistS, doctors, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals, and subsequently was brought to the United States in 2009. Our cutting edge mobile cryotherapy device targets areas of the body with extremely low temperatures (approximately -140 degrees). Within 5 minutes this innovative, cold treatment will result in a countless amount of health benefits. Localized Cryotherapy targets a specific area and is used for swelling and inflammation from a variety of causes such as tough work-outs, an acute/chronic injury, recovery, anti-aging and migraine relief. In many cases it is used in conjunction with rehab and treatments directed by other heath professionals. It can make rehab easier, more effective and sometimes shortens the time needed to recover.

How long is a Spot Session?
Spot sessions will last approximately 10 minutes, depending on the area we are working on and the stage of recovery of the injury.
For example, an acutely injured area will require more time than an area that has been treated previously and is healing.
How Often Should I Have One?
We recommend a spot session 1-3 times a week, then taper back as needed. Members normally notice longer lasting and more permanent effects after 3-6 weeks.
How much does a Local/Spot Cryotherapy treatment cost?
A Single Session is $40. We have packages also for multiple sessions.
