Home/Cryotherapy for Pain
Cryotherapy St. Louis
Cold Therapy for Pain
Most people find us looking for body contouring. This is for the other group: the ones whose lower back has been grumbling for months, or whose shoulder has not been right since something happened to it.
Cold, on the part that hurts
Everybody already knows ice helps a sore joint. This is that idea, done properly: a controlled stream of cold air on the exact spot, at a temperature and for a length of time you cannot get from a bag of peas.
Cold brings down inflammation in the area and dulls the ache. For a lot of people the relief starts during the session.
What people come in for
- Lower back
- Shoulders and necks
- Knees
- Stiff, achy joints
- Soreness after training or a long week on your feet
What happens
The intro visit
An intro visit first, same as everything else.
The session
The session itself is short.
Afterwards
Nothing to recover from, nothing to take, and you can drive yourself home.
What this is not
We are not a doctor's office
- Nobody here diagnoses anything. If you have pain that is new, severe, or has not been looked at by someone qualified, go and get that done. This is for managing something you already understand.
It is not a cure
- It brings inflammation down and takes the edge off. For most people that means coming back now and then rather than once.
It is not a whole body chamber
- We treat the specific area that hurts.
Half an hour, and you leave with a plan of your own.

Where our clients come from
We are on Old Olive Street Road in Creve Coeur, just off Olive at I-270, with parking right outside. That last part matters more than usual if your back is the problem.
Questions we get
How cold is it, really?
Cold enough to work and not cold enough to hurt you. It is controlled the whole way through and someone is with you for all of it.
How long does the relief last?
It varies a lot. Some people get a few days, some longer. Most treat it as something they come back for.
How many sessions?
Depends entirely on what is going on. We will talk about it at your intro visit rather than sell you a package up front.
Do I need a referral?
No.
Can I come for this and nothing else?
Absolutely. Plenty of people do and never book a body treatment at all.
Get started with an intro visit
It takes about half an hour, and you leave with a plan built around your goals. If this is not the right thing for those goals, we will say so.
