Cold, briefly and on purpose
Whole-body cryotherapy surrounds you with extremely cold, dry air for a short, timed session. Instead of sitting in an ice bath for long stretches, you stand in a chamber for a few minutes while the cold works on the surface of your skin. At Haus of Wellness, sessions are guided by our team from start to finish, so you are never figuring it out alone.
People come to cryotherapy for different reasons. A runner training for a spring race, a parent who just finished a weekend of yard work, and a professional who wants a sharp mental break in the middle of the day can all leave the same chamber feeling differently. That is why we ask what you are hoping for before your first session.
What cryotherapy is designed to support
Cryotherapy is designed to support your body's natural recovery response. Areas it may support include:
- Muscle soreness after training, games, or physical work
- Swelling and the puffy, heavy feeling that follows hard effort
- Helping the body shift into recovery mode after exertion
- A mental reset after a demanding day
Your first session
Before you step in, we review your health history to make sure cryotherapy is a good fit, since certain conditions mean it is not recommended. Our team will give you preparation instructions, including what to wear and how the session is guided, so you know what to expect before you step in.
Responses vary. Any benefit, and how quickly it is noticed, differs from person to person. We will not promise a particular outcome, but we will help you find a rhythm that matches your training and schedule.
Pairing cryotherapy with other recovery tools
Cryotherapy rarely works best in isolation. Depending on your goals, your plan may pair a session with dynamic compression for your legs, or alternate cold days with time in the infrared sauna. On weeks with heavy travel or Texas heat, an IV drip for hydration may round out the plan. Our team can suggest an order that suits your goals, whether you train at a gym in Flower Mound, coach a team in Argyle, or simply want to feel less stiff getting out of bed.
Unlimited cryotherapy membership
Consistency is where cryotherapy tends to become part of a routine rather than a one-time experiment. Our unlimited cryotherapy membership lets you come in as often as fits your week without deciding whether each visit is worth booking separately. Members can also choose infrared sauna instead, or step up to an unlimited recovery membership that combines cryotherapy, sauna, and compression. Details and current terms are on our Membership page, and our front desk is glad to walk you through the options.
Timing cryotherapy around training
When you schedule a session can matter. One option is a session soon after a hard workout or game. Another is a morning session before work. Your goals help decide which makes more sense. On days focused on building strength, your coach or provider may suggest spacing cold exposure away from your lifting session. We will help you think through timing based on what you are trying to accomplish rather than a fixed rule.
