If you’ve ever heard of the #PolarPlunge or #IceBucketChallenge, you might be one of many who wonders why anyone would put themselves through temperature drops by choice. So what are the benefits of cold therapy or cryotherapy? What does it feel like? Is it worth it?

Why do people do cryotherapy?

There are many reasons one might choose to experience cold therapy or cryotherapies, such as to improve sleep, speed up muscle recovery, relieve inflammation, burn quick and easy calories, feel a euphoric mental boost, relieve anxiety disorders, and more. 

However, unlike ice baths or taking a dip in a frozen lake, cryotherapy with a cryo machine is a much easier process and provides the same benefits. This dry, three-minute session is said by many to be invigorating, beneficial for health, and easier than cold therapy in water.

Does it work?

Cryotherapy is clinically proven to help with many physical and mental obstacles we encounter in our daily lives. For instance, if you are an athlete, cryotherapy will aid in muscle recovery. In the words of In the Zone Cryo clients:

“I started doing cryo after learning about this therapy from my nephew who is a competitive cheerleader. Cryotherapy helped his ongoing recovery from their intense workouts. It has helped my workout recovery; I feel invigorated after the 3 mins, but better I’m not sore from my workouts the next day.”

-John Murphy

“I love this place! Running has become my passion. So cryotherapy and leg compression has become a necessity for the recovery part of my training.”

-Star Ru

“This was my first time trying cryo, the staff was very friendly, provided great information on the benefits including how it worked and why it worked! So it was an incredibly refreshing experience and one that I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with inflammation or looking to help with recovery!” 

-Luke Laser
