Our cutting-edge approach includes Cryotherapy (cold therapy) and Heat Therapy to help you feel and function your best.

The Science of Temperature Therapy

Temperature therapy works by influencing blood flow and tissue response. Cold reduces inflammation and numbs pain, while heat increases circulation and relaxes muscles. By applying these therapies strategically, we can significantly enhance the healing process.

When to Use Cold vs. Heat

It can be confusing to know when to use heat and when to use cold. In general:

Cold: Ideal for injuries less than seven days old to manage inflammation
Heat: Best for conditions older than seven days to promote healing and relaxation

Conditions We See

These therapies are effective for almost all musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Sprains and strains
Muscle soreness
Joint pain
Post-workout recovery
Chronic pain conditions

In addition to supporting the healing process, they feel great!
