Does the idea of exposing your body to -220 degrees Fahrenheit put you into a cold sweat?

New cryotherapy clients are often anxious about their first cryotherapy experience. As with everything else in life, exposure to extreme cold is all about context. Let us explain….

  1. Extremely cold temperatures (as found in cryotherapy) are tolerable in the absence of moisture. Frostbite cannot occur in a dry environment. At ChillRx, we are dedicated to dehumidification & ensuring that our clients are 100 percent dry before cryotherapy.
  2. At ChillRx, we limit whole-body cryotherapy sessions to 3 minutes. Hypothermia cannot occur within this time span—it would take more than double this amount of time. At ChillRx, we NEVER push the cold envelope! Your safety is our number one priority at all times.
  3. ChillRx cryotechnicians are professionals in the health & wellness industry. Our technicians are Registered Nurses, kinesiologists, yoga instructors, and aestheticians. They are rigorously trained in the highest safety standards and will never compromise client safety for any reason. At ChillRx, our cryotechnicians will never leave your side during your treatment and are constantly monitoring your feedback to ensure your safety.

ChillRx has a medical advisor on staff to monitor our operations and treatment programs. We are constantly innovating our processes and systems to maximize client safety and the benefits of cryotherapy treatment.

Recently, we have added an infrared sauna to our menu of services. Our clients are experiencing “Fire & Ice”—a combination treatment that offers infrared sauna followed by whole-body and/or local cryotherapy. Inspired by the Scandinavian banya (sauna followed by a cold plunge into an icy river!), clients are experiencing deep detoxification, relief from pain & inflammation, and incredible muscle and tissue relaxation. Need sleep? Fire & Ice provides the deepest, most rejuvenating sleep!!

We exist to elevate our clients’ health, fitness, and beauty. On this, we will never compromise!
