What is Localized Cryotherapy?

Localized Cryotherapy uses pressurized CO2 gas to target a local area of the body and cause “thermal shock.”

With localized cryotherapy, we swiftly and safely address specific pain points like the shoulder, ankle, or back of the neck. This effective treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing processes to deliver remarkable results!

Combining Localized Cryotherapy with Whole-Body Cryotherapy is excellent for those who have chronic inflammatory conditions.

Conditions that may benefit​

Localized cryotherapy may benefit a variety of conditions related to injury, overuse, or chronic musculoskeletal issues. It is commonly used to decrease muscle tension and reduce spasms, making it effective for muscle strains, cramps, and tightness. By helping to reduce swelling and inflammation, it supports recovery from acute injuries such as sprains, tendinitis, and soft tissue damage. The therapy also works to reduce pain, offering relief for joint or muscle discomfort. Additionally, it can improve joint mobility, which is beneficial for conditions like arthritis or stiffness following injury. These combined effects promote a quicker return to training or competition, particularly for athletes or active individuals.
