Accelerates post-workout recovery and reduces soreness.
* Relieves Joint & Muscle Pain
Supports relief from arthritis, fibromyalgia, and general tension.
* Boosts Circulation
Promotes healthy blood flow and post-session oxygenation.
* Improves Skin Health
Helps tighten, tone, and reduce inflammation in the skin.
* Enhances Mental Clarity & Mood
Releases endorphins for improved energy and focus.
* Improves Sleep
Users report deeper, more restful sleep.
* Burns Calories
Temporary metabolic boost helps with fat burning.
* Strengthens the Immune System
Stimulates immunity and helps the body adapt to stress.

it works
Science
Take off your shoes, empty your pockets, and lay down on what feels like a squishy waterbed. You'll be draped with water-filled "sheets" and lowered in to the bed. You'll get cold, but you won't get wet! No need to shower, change, or undress!
Typical sessions are from 5 to 15 minutes.
Within 1-2 minutes, skin temperature drop anywhere from 15-30 degrees.
Gradually, core body temperature drops by .5 to 2 degrees.
There is no risk of hypothermia or skin damage.
* When exposed to extreme cold, blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction) to preserve core body temperature.
* When you rewarm, blood vessels dilate (vasodilation), causing a rush of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the tissues, promoting healing and recovery.
* Cold shock triggers the release of norepinephrine and beta-endorphins.
* Cold slows down cellular metabolism and reduces inflammatory cytokines (chemical messengers of inflammation).
* Cold exposure stimulates brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which burns energy to produce heat.
* Cryotherapy reduces muscle microtrauma, which can help decrease soreness and speed up recovery after intense workouts.
* Regular cold exposure may modestly increase white blood cell count and antioxidant levels, potentially improving immune resilience over time.
* Cold stress activates proteins like cold shock proteins and heat shock proteins (after rewarming), which may help protect against cellular stress and aging.
* Dry cryo beds safely cool the body enough to trigger the physiological benefits of cryotherapy (endorphin release, vasoconstriction, inflammation reduction) without dangerously lowering core temperature. They're designed to stay in the “therapeutic” range without causing cold shock or frostbite—making them ideal for all users.
