Cryotherapy and Normatec
Cryotherapy: Embrace the Power of Cold
Cryotherapy is done in a chamber (think walk-in freezer) where your entire body is exposed to cold temperatures of -110 to -124 F degrees for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on your goals and preference. Whole body cryotherapy is a very dry cold feeling.
Cryotherapy is much more enjoyable than applying ice to your body for 10-15 minutes several times a day or doing ice baths.
How does cryotherapy work? The extreme cold causes activates your nervous system and causes a physiological response. Everyone’s response will be different. However the extreme cold may help our bodies produce endorphins, hormones, and antioxidants. This may boost your mood, reduce pain, and inflammation. We recommend those with chronic pain, inflammation, or injury do at least 7 sessions within 14 days to determine if cryotherapy can help reduce your symptoms. You need to repetitively do sessions to boost the endorphins and hormone levels to achieve the results you need.
Once your inflammation, injury, or other symptoms subside you can go into maintenance mode of 2-3 sessions/week depending on your needs. For those looking for general recovery after hard workouts, we recommend once a week or after hard training sessions or the next day to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
Accelerated Recovery: Cryotherapy reduces inflammation and muscle soreness, allowing you to recover faster between training sessions and competitions.
Enhanced Performance: With improved blood circulation and reduced muscle fatigue, you’ll be primed to perform at your absolute best.
First cryotherapy session is only $35

Normatec Compression: Empower Your Muscles
NormaTec® is great after hard workouts. Using pulse compression mimics the circulatory system. It is like getting a massage and assists with circulation reducing muscle soreness.
We highly recommend using NormaTec® for at least 30 minutes after running, weight training, triathlon brick workouts, after races, and other strenuous exercises or activities. You can also use NormaTec as a pre-workout warm-up. The circulation gets the blood moving through your muscles to help warm them up and the gentle massage helps loosen up the body.
The Normatec Compression system uses dynamic compression to mimic the natural circulation. Through a series of strategically placed air chambers, the system massages your arms, legs, or hips in a pulsing, wave-like pattern. This benefit’s you with:
Faster Recovery: Normatec Compression expedites muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and soreness after intense physical activities.
