What is Cryotherapy?

         Cryotherapy is essentially the process of using cold temperatures for health benefits. This form of therapy has been used in different ways to decrease pain and muscle spasms, improve recovery, slow cell aging and improve health.

Athletes have been soaking in cold tubs and ice baths for decades, but recent innovation now allows for using liquid nitrogen (-240 Degrees F) and is the form most often referred to in modern references to Cryotherapy. This type of cold therapy was invented in the 1970s in Japan, and has only come to the US and other countries in the last decade.
