There are many reasons to consider cryotherapy: increasing athletic performance, recovering quickly from injury, and dealing with arthritis. A three-minute treatment, cryotherapy utilizes uses the gaseous form of nitrogen to dramatically lower body temperature and induce a “feel-good” response via endorphins. Effects last long after a session is over, with regular treatment ideal for those with acute and chronic pain.

Cincinnati Cryo Spa in Cincinnati, OH is the city’s premier cryotherapy facility, and the staff is always ready to answer questions regarding this highly effective, safe, and natural treatment. Let’s check out what the staff wants you to know before and after your first cryotherapy session:

  • Bathing: Taking a shower before or after your session is unnecessary, as cryotherapy is a completely dry treatment. Many clients enjoy sessions on their lunch breaks.
  • Eating: Eating before your session is recommended, as clients frequently say they can withstand the cold better after consuming food.
  • Socks and Gloves: Protecting the extremities is necessary while in the cryosauna, as the body pulls blood away from hands and feet and into the core.
  • Working Out: Working out before or after your session is completely safe. Working out before cryotherapy equals shorter recovery due to inflammation reduction. Working out after cryotherapy equals more energy and flexibility, as well as higher pain tolerance.
  • Post-Session: Feeling great and energetic due to endorphin release is expected following cryotherapy. Effects typically last six to eight hours, and regular use extends these and other benefits for greater lengths of time.

There’s no risk of catching cold from cryotherapy, as internal body temperature is raised for only a short period of time. Because the therapy stimulates the immune system, the frequency and severity of future ailments decreases.
