One of the newest and most prominent sports science innovations can improve health for everyone.
Cryotherapy is one of the most innovative technologies to help the human body recover and rejuvenate the fastest.
There are multiple ways to help the body recover like hydration, proper nutrition, and stretching.
The use of cryotherapy, however, takes things to the next level.
Cryotherapy, in simple terms, is sitting in a cold tank that is near freezing temperature. Usually for around 4 to 5 minutes.
Despite the fact that it may seem like a bad time when you think about it, it is becoming increasingly popular due to the long-term benefits it provides.
Benefits of Cryotherapy:
Improve mobility by reducing swelling in joints
Prevent injuries
Reduce pain
Faster healing time after surgery
These benefits are an insight into how this method can help young athletes in their development.
What’s most impressive about this therapy is that it can do much more than just help athletes

Here’s the thing— going from what we said previously cryotherapy isn’t only used by athletes. In reality, anybody who isn’t suffering from a serious medical condition can use it.
Parents use it.
Young athletes use it.
Professional Athletes use it.
It isn’t limited to one demographic, it can help any individual improve in different aspects.
The body is one of the biggest investments each person should make. Taking care of our bodies can give us a long and healthy life.

We mentioned before that our coaches went to the Elite Wellness facility to try out some of their services.
Cryotherapy was one of the services that they tried. Here are some quotes to get an idea of their initial takeaways.
"It's tough for the first time, and can be slightly painful but they have definitely helped.
"Since I only did it once, I felt it right away, but I recommend that is should be done on a continuous basis for the muscles to truly get used to it and loosen up."
