WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY?
Cold Therapy Designed to Support Recovery and Wellness
In simple terms, cryotherapy is cold therapy, which means the body is exposed to cold temperatures for a short period of time.
Cryotherapy can be applied to one area or the entire body, and can be administered in a variety of ways. Whole-body cryotherapy — which is what we offer at AFAC — is achieved through the use of our cryotherapy chamber, also known as a cryosauna.
Localized Cryotherapy
Localized cryotherapy can include ice packs, ice baths, and cooling sprays used on targeted areas of the body.
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Whole body cryotherapy at AFAC exposes the body to ultra-cold temperatures for a short session to help support recovery, reduce
HOW DOES CRYOTHERAPY WORK?
What to Expect During a Session
Staff-Guided Preparation
A trained member of the AFAC staff assists you during the entire cryotherapy experience from beginning to end to ensure your preparedness, safety, and comfort.
Proper Attire
You’ll typically wear undergarments, thick gloves, and thick socks during your cryotherapy session. It’s important that all clothing is completely dry.
Enter the Chamber
You’ll enter the chamber and a member of our staff will close the door, leaving your head exposed through an opening at the top.
Chamber Activation
The chamber is activated, which begins the release of liquid nitrogen that turns into vapor as soon as it hits the air.
Ultra-Cold Exposure
The nitrogen cools the inside of the chamber to between -60°F and -220°F for a short, controlled session.
Session Complete
The cryotherapy session is complete in 3 minutes or less and you’ll exit the chamber feeling refreshed and energized.
During the session, your exposed skin reacts to the extremely cold temperatures by constricting blood vessels. This pushes blood from the surface areas of your body and muscles to your body’s core. When the session is over, your skin returns to normal temperature and your warmed blood quickly circulates throughout your body. This leaves you feeling rejuvenated and starts the anti-inflammatory process.

IS CRYOTHERAPY PAINFUL?
Cold, Dry, and Surprisingly Tolerable
Unlike an ice bath, cryotherapy is not painful. The cold air doesn’t contain any moisture and there is no air current, which makes the experience much more tolerable than many people expect.
During cryotherapy, your skin temperature may decrease about 30–45 degrees. You might experience slight shivers toward the end of the session, but those usually disappear as soon as you leave the chamber.
