I’m am doing ice plunges/saunas, but never cryo! Report back on how it goes!

Following

I've done it before! It's a bit of a shocker when you first get into the chamber and then you get used to it. definitely gets your blood pumping!

I've only seen videos of people trying out cryotherapy, but I never knew what it was for. Could you tell us what changes you see/feel afterwards? I find it really interesting

How much does one session cost? That must cost a large sum, but I hope you get every bang for your buck. I sadly can't handle the cold very much so I don't think I'll ever try it.

I've heard about it before but never really had an idea of what the treatment is all about. Now that you are posting it here, I went and searched for it. This is another learning for me.

I'm a runner, and I use this method. the job of cryotherapy is to maximize the benefits of being subjected to cold, through a multitude of methods, that are all back by scientific peer reviewed study. hope this helps!

Many of us have been taking cold showers and using ice packs for a long time. At a considerably higher cost, cryotherapy chambers deliver the same outcomes. Our long-held ideas about the advantages of using cold for post-run recovery are being called into question by recent medical studies. It would probably be preferable for you to take an ibuprofen instead of a cryotherapy chamber and use the money you would have spent on it toward a massage gun or a sports massage therapist.

Same concept as ice packs. Helps you recover faster. Simple as that! Worth it but still quite pricey for me. Will stick to my ice packs

Been seeing it a lot lately! What's the hype about? The huge machines are intriguing me. Please post an update about it, OP! Would really love to know more about this.

I am so intrigued as well. Saw it first on instagram and it honestly looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. How much does it cost?

I've been meaning to try cryotherapy ever since! I don't think we have this in our area yet. Could you post an update after your first session?

Bumped into another cryotherapy post! I swear, one more sign and I'll try it! Anybody else here already tried cryotherapy? Really like to hear your experiences.

Yes, OP. My first experience was nothing short of amazing. I had no expectations going into it, because quite sadly, I wasn’t yet educated on this amazingness.

Only heard of good things about this cryotherapy! Now I'm really really curious. Does anybody know of a clinic that offers this around Boston?

Wow. Good luck, OP! I hope you'd have a good experience Truthfully there is not much you need to do to prepare for a session, just “walk in and enjoy!” However, I completely understand that it can be nerve-racking for first time clients and especially for those who hate the cold. I recommend keeping an open mind as it is nothing like you would expect and assure you that your body can in fact handle the cold!

Yes yes yes and it’s a must try!!!!!

The benefit outweighs the sub zero temp

hi guys! reporting back that I tried it...and loved it!! super pricey but omg I felt SO good after?? Like I just had way more energy than I would've thought and it felt like a serious boost. Would recommend!!
