Cryotherapy is no longer just for elite athletes or fitness enthusiasts—it’s a powerful health and wellness treatment that offers benefits for anyone looking to improve recovery, reduce pain, and enhance overall vitality. At The Other 23 Wellness in Camp Hill, PA, our state-of-the-art cryo chamber allows you to experience the full spectrum of what our therapy can do for your body and mind.
What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, meaning “cold therapy,” involves exposing your body to extremely cold temperatures (often between -200°F and -250°F) for a short period—typically two to three minutes. During this session, your body’s natural response is to constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation. When you step out of the cryo chamber, blood flow returns to normal, carrying oxygen, nutrients, and healing properties throughout the body.
The process may sound intense, but it’s safe, fast, and invigorating. Many clients describe leaving the session feeling refreshed, energized, and mentally clear.
Athletes were the first to popularize cryotherapy because of its incredible recovery benefits. Intense workouts and training can cause muscle soreness, inflammation, and fatigue. Regular visits will:
- Reduce muscle inflammation and accelerate tissue repair
- Enhance recovery between workouts or competitions
- Decrease soreness and stiffness after training
- Boost energy and mental focus before physical activity
By improving circulation and decreasing inflammation, cryotherapy helps athletes recover faster and perform better—making it an essential part of modern sports recovery routines.
Beyond athletics, cryotherapy offers a wide range of health and wellness benefits for the everyday person. Whether you’re managing pain, boosting mood, or simply looking for a natural way to improve your body’s resilience, consistent sessions can help.
Here are some of the top benefits people experience:
1. Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction
Cold exposure helps reduce chronic pain and inflammation throughout the body. Many people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, or general joint discomfort report less pain and increased mobility after regular sessions in a cryo chamber.
2. Improved Mood and Mental Health
The extreme cold stimulates the release of endorphins—your body’s natural “feel-good” hormones. After just a few minutes, many users experience a euphoric mood boost, reduced stress, and greater mental clarity.
3. Enhanced Metabolism and Weight Support
Cryotherapy can temporarily boost your metabolism as your body works to regulate temperature. Some studies suggest that consistent treatments can help support healthy weight management by increasing calorie burn and improving fat oxidation.
4. Skin Health and Anti-Aging Effects
The improved circulation from cryotherapy supports collagen production, giving your skin a tighter, more radiant appearance. Reduced inflammation can also help improve conditions like eczema and acne.
5. Stronger Immune System
Cold exposure has been linked to improved immune response. By activating white blood cells and improving circulation, cryotherapy helps your body better defend itself against illness.
Example of a Cryotherapy Regimen
For best results, consistency is key. Here’s what a typical cryo chamber regimen might look like:
- Week 1–2: Start with 2–3 sessions per week to allow your body to adapt and maximize initial benefits.
- Week 3–4: Continue with 2–3 sessions per week for ongoing recovery, energy, and wellness improvements.
- Month 2 and beyond: Maintain 1–2 sessions weekly for long-term benefits like pain relief, mood support, and improved circulation.
Each session takes just three minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule—whether before work, after a workout, or during your lunch break.
