The Cryotherapy Experience

The entire experience in the Cryotherapy chamber will be less than 3 minutes, but you should expect to make time to fill out a simple medical waiver and change into appropriate gear in a private changing room for your session. Our Cryotherapy chambers utilize sub-zero temperatures to deliver powerful cold therapy, so you’ll need to protect certain parts of your body. We'll provide you with a robe, hat, socks, slippers and gloves to use during your session.

Once you’ve changed into your protective gear, you’ll head back to our proprietary Cryotherapy chamber. Our trained expert will ask you questions and take your temperature. Next, you have the option to select some music to pump you up before entering the chamber where you’ll stay for up to 3 minutes.

If you’re concerned about making it through the full 2.5-3 minutes, don’t worry! A healthy cold therapy practice may be something you work your way up to, gradually increasing the time you’re able to spend in the chamber during each visit. In general, it will feel like standing outside on an extremely cold winter day!

After you get out, you’ll feel energized and alert, and you may even experience a bit of a mood boost.

How Does Cryotherapy Work?

During a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, your entire body is exposed to freezing temperatures which enacts a natural fight or flight response that constricts blood vessels to restrict blood away from the extremities. This redirection causes your body to move blood toward the core, protecting your vital organs. During this process, the body increases its levels of antioxidant capacity, oxygen and certain proteins that may decrease swelling and increase your tolerance to physical challenges.

Our Commitment to Safety

At Restore, a trained expert operates the Cryotherapy chamber and is present outside in case you feel any discomfort and wish to leave before your time is up. We also encourage clients to choose a song, so you can dance and jam to your favorite tune to better enjoy the experience.

Cryotherapy Benefits

When you exit the chamber and return to normal room temperature, this oxygen-rich blood moves back through the body. Benefits may include elevated energy and mood, decreased inflammation, muscle soreness and pain, and improvements to your sleep, cognitive health and sexual health.

This therapy is one of many ways that Restore utilizes controlled, natural stressors to increase your body’s resilience by proactively enhancing your health.

What is Local Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy chambers use the same sub-zero temperatures to target pain and soreness and advance healing and recovery—all in just 10-12 minutes!

How does Cryotherapy work?

Show answer

One form of Cryotherapy treatment we offer at Restore is Whole Body Cryotherapy. This service exposes the entire body to sub-zero temperatures inside of a chamber for up to 3 minutes. As the body is exposed to these freezing temperatures, it enacts a natural fight or flight response that constricts blood vessels to restrict blood away from the extremities. This redirection causes your body to move blood toward the core, protecting your organs. During this process, the body increases its levels of oxygen and certain proteins that can decrease swelling. When you exit the chamber and return to normal room temperature, this oxygen-rich blood moves back through the body. This service is one of many ways that Restore utilizes controlled, natural stressors to increase your body’s resilience and thereby shape human health.
