Fitness trends have been sweeping the nation left and right from juice cleanses to crossfit. The coolest craze? Cryotherapy. Cryotherapy uses extremely cold temperatures to restore and reinvigorate the body. The cold treatment exposes the body to temperatures colder than negative 200 degrees F for two to four minutes and is said to have miraculous results. “It really is an amazing and transformative process,” said Tim Brown, owner of Cryospa of Jackson. The cryo expert then helped debunk three myths that typically trail cryotherapy.
MYTH: Cryotherapy is only for muscle recovery.
TRUTH: While trainers and athletes swear by cryotherapy for its muscle therapy properties, the treatment also boosts metabolism, increases endorphins, and flushes toxins out of the skin and muscles. “We have a lot of people who come in for that extra push with their work out,” Brown explains. “Cryo provides that boost your metabolism needs to burn extra calories.”

MYTH: Cryotherapy doesn’t work on everyone.
TRUTH: Cryo may not be for each person who tries it, but the process is widely applicable to most people. It can especially benefit athletes and among others, fibromyalgia patients. “We have people of all ages and backgrounds who seek treatment [at CryoSpa of Jackson] whether it’s for weight loss, skin perfection, or healing.” Cryotherapy has even been known to treat those with depression by increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins. That hormonal boost can cause a sense of euphoria after stepping out of a cold chamber.
MYTH: Cryotherapy isn’t safe.
TRUTH: Yes, too much of a good thing can be problematic, but proper safety procedures and properly tested machinery ensure patients receive the very best treatment. “Safety is number one,” Brown encourages,”we want this process to be as enjoyable and effective as possible.”
Whole body cryotherapy can prove to be a beneficial experience, whether it is used for pain relief, skin enhancement, or weight loss. If you’re looking to supplement the work you’re already putting in, or simply interested in finding a new way to relax and unwind, cryo is the coolest thing you’ll find.
