Want a tip to help optimize your wellness? Try combining therapies to deliver more powerful results.
Whole Body Cryotherapy and Intramuscular (IM) Shots are backed by research, rooted in clinical science and designed for efficiency. On their own, they're undoubtedly effective, but when used together, you'll notice an immediate boost. Our experts explain why, but we'll cover the basics first.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy quickly exposes your entire body to subzero temperatures.
How cold? The chambers at Restore can range from -166°F to -220°F.
Your session will last 2–3 minutes, depending on your preference. This temperature intensity activates the body’s natural stress response, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation and releasing feel-good neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and endorphins.
Key Benefits of Whole Body Cryotherapy:
- Reduces inflammation & physical discomfort
- Enhances mood, focus & energy
- Boosts metabolism & calorie burn
- Improves recovery after workouts or injury
- Supports circulation & immune function
How is Cryotherapy Different from Cold Plunges?
While both therapies involve cold exposure, they work in distinctly different ways:
- Cold plunges use cold water chilled between 38°F and 60°F to reduce surface-level inflammation and muscle soreness.
- Cryotherapy uses dry, subzero air to trigger a deeper systemic response, improving circulation and stimulating the central nervous system more rapidly with less discomfort.
Cryotherapy also offers several advantages over cold plunges. Sessions are significantly faster, lasting just three minutes compared to the recommended 15 minutes for a cold plunge. The temperature for Cryotherapy is precisely controlled, ensuring consistent and optimal therapeutic effects. Unlike cold plunges, Cryotherapy exposes the entire body, including the head, enhancing the overall impact. Since our chambers at Restore reach -166°F, this therapy delivers a more intense physiological response and greater benefits in less time.

What are IM Shots?
Intramuscular (IM) Shots are targeted injections that deliver concentrated nutrients directly into muscle tissue. This allows for faster absorption than oral supplements and ensures your body gets 70-90% bioavailability of each nutrient (compared to 15-20% from eating and drinking) without relying on the digestive system.
Restore Hyper Wellness offers a variety of IM Shots, designed to support specific health goals from energy and metabolism to immunity and performance. Here’s a look at some of our Signature IM Shots:

Benefits:
- Supports energy production

Tri-Immune Blend IM Shot
Whether you’re traveling soon or trying to protect yourself against illness going around at home, this potent immunity Shot combines three powerful nutrients that can help:
- Glutathione, the body’s "master antioxidant"

- Zinc, which is essential for immune cell development & inflammation control
Together, these nutrients help defend against environmental stressors, support faster recovery and enhance overall immune resilience.
Benefits:
- Supports recovery
- Fights oxidative stress
- Boosts immune defense
- Enhances cellular health
- Defends against toxins & inflammation
Vitamin D IM Shot
Vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption and bone strength, but it also plays a vital role in immune modulation, mood balance and muscle performance. Recently, research also uncovered a connection between Vitamin D supplementation and longevity. Deficiencies in this nutrient are common in the United States, especially for those who spend most of their time indoors or live in less sunny climates. IM delivery ensures consistent absorption and optimal levels without relying on gut health or fat intake.
Benefits:
- Strengthens bones
- Boosts mood & mental clarity
- Aids muscle recovery
- Supports immune health
Why Combine Cryotherapy with IM Shots?
Cryotherapy can prepare the body for a more comfortable injection experience by temporarily numbing the area, while also amplifying the IM Shot’s metabolic and immune-supporting effects. Whether you're chasing sharper focus, stronger immunity or more energy, this pairing makes a measurable impact fast.
Combining these two therapies doesn’t just streamline your wellness routine; it may enhance the effectiveness of both treatments with better:
- Efficiency: Together, both therapies take about 15 minutes to complete, which is ideal for busy schedules.
- Results: Cryotherapy improves circulation and reduces inflammation, which may enhance how the body absorbs and utilizes IM Shot nutrients.
