Cryotherapy

Whole body cryotherapy has been used for decades to support recovery in demanding training and clinical environments. At Elite Sports Medicine, we use a modern chamber experience designed to be efficient, consistent, and easy to work into your week.

During a session, you step into a controlled chamber while cold, dry air circulates around the body for a short period—often about three minutes. A team member stays with you to guide pacing, breathing, and comfort throughout the visit.

Many patients describe the experience as more tolerable than an ice bath because the exposure is brief and the environment is dry. You may feel an intense cold sensation early in the session that typically becomes more manageable as you settle in.

Afterwards, it is common to feel invigorated as your body responds to the stimulus. Individual responses vary, and cryotherapy is best viewed as one tool within a broader recovery plan that may include therapy, exercise, sleep, and nutrition.

If you are curious whether cryotherapy is appropriate for you, we are happy to answer questions and help you understand what to expect before your first session.
