What is localized Cryotherapy?
Localized Cryotherapy treatments utilize temperatures as low as -260ºF and are applied directly to a specific body part. The precise application of this extremely low temperature can treat inflammation and acute pain issues on a deeper level.
Any part of the body can externally be given this treatment like the lower back, upper back, neck, shoulder, wrist, elbow, hip, ankle, knee, and heels.
This is a very useful method that provides much quicker results and can give instant relief to swollen tissue, painful joints, and muscle tremors.

What to expect:
To begin the localized cryotherapy treatment, the cryo therapist will ask which body part you would like to be treated.
Depending on which body part will be treated, you may be provided a robe to change into.
The cryo therapist uses a hand-held wand which applies a stream of cold air onto the targeted area of the body for approximately 5-12 minutes.
During the treatment, the cryo therapist monitors the temperature of the skin and comfort level.
