Recovery Suite
Artica Cryotherapy
Cold therapy that activates your body's natural recovery response — reducing inflammation, easing soreness, and leaving you feeling energized.
What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a short, controlled exposure to extreme cold that triggers a powerful recovery response in your body. During a session, you step into our Artica cryo chamber for two to three minutes while the temperature drops significantly below freezing.
The cold causes your blood vessels to constrict, pushing blood toward your core organs. When you step out, that blood rushes back through your body, carrying fresh oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and tissues. This process helps reduce inflammation, flush out metabolic waste, and accelerate the natural healing process.
At Core Athletes, we use cryotherapy as a key pillar of our recovery suite — not just for elite athletes, but for anyone who wants to feel better, move better, and recover faster.
What It Can Help With
- Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
- Faster recovery between training sessions
- Improved circulation and blood flow
- Increased energy and mental clarity
- Relief from chronic pain and joint stiffness
- Better sleep quality
- Mood boost through endorphin release
- Support for immune system function
Athlete Recovery
For athletes training consistently, cryotherapy is one of the most efficient recovery tools available. The rapid cold exposure reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), allowing you to train again sooner without carrying fatigue into your next session. At Core Athletes, we integrate cryotherapy into structured recovery protocols to help athletes maintain peak performance throughout the week.
Inflammation & Pain Relief
Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest obstacles to consistent performance and everyday comfort. Cryotherapy works by triggering a systemic anti-inflammatory response, helping to reduce swelling, ease joint pain, and support the body's natural healing mechanisms. Many clients notice significant relief from recurring soreness and stiffness after just a few sessions.
Energy & Mental Clarity
One of the most immediate effects people notice after cryotherapy is a surge of energy and mental sharpness. The cold exposure stimulates the release of norepinephrine and endorphins, leaving you feeling alert, focused, and in a noticeably better mood. Many clients schedule morning sessions to start their day with that boost.
What a Session Feels Like
You step into the Artica chamber for two to three minutes. The cold is intense but manageable — most people describe it as invigorating rather than painful. Our staff guides you through the process and stays with you the entire time. When you step out, you'll feel a rush of warmth and energy that typically lasts for hours.
Who This Is For
- Athletes looking to recover faster between training sessions
- Anyone dealing with chronic muscle soreness or joint pain
- People who want more energy and mental clarity
- Those recovering from minor injuries or overuse
- Anyone who pushes their body and wants to maintain consistency
- People looking for a natural mood and energy boost
