What is Cryotherapy? Whole body cryotherapy is a type of treatment in which the entire body (minus the head and neck) is encased in a chamber that fills with liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen is misted around your body for three minutes, putting you into a subzero environment (in this case, around -200 degrees Fahrenheit.) This extreme drop in temperature causes the fight-or-flight response in which the blood travels from your extremities to your core where it is filtered to remove toxins and then oxygen-rich blood is pumped back through your body. This process removes lactic acid, which builds up in your body when you work out — it's one of the biggest contributors to inflammation and muscle pain. Flushing out the lactic acid means flushing out the pain and inflammation. (Buh-bye day-after-leg-day pain!)
