How Cryotherapy Works
During cryotherapy, you’ll experience sub-zero temperature air on your face, joints, skin, or whole body. The extreme temperatures increase your oxygen levels, induce healing, and invigorate your body.

I went to Thrive after a recommendation by a good friend, because my back was stiff. I just couldn’t get my muscles to relax. It was tuff getting in and out of my car. When I would get out, I would have to take a minute and stretch a little before I could walk without pain. She said go to Thrive and get a Cryotherapy treatment. When I walked into Thrive I was amazed at how professional and friendly the staff was. The atmosphere was just walking in was relaxing. Of course I had to fill out a couple of forms, only took a minute or two, then we got started. The staff would explain what we were about to do and how they thought it would help. I did a full body Cryotherapy treatment, a local CRYO treatment, a Red Light treatment and an AllCore360 muscle treatment. I walked out feeling so much better. My back muscles had relaxed. I was able to get in and out of my car with easy. It was great. I highly recommend Thrive for anyone that has muscle aches or if you just need a nice relaxing spa experience. Next time I might add a massage to the mix. Thank you Jessica and all the staff at Thrive. What a great experience.

I've been doing cryotherapy at ThrIVe for two weeks now. I can't even begin to explain all the benefits. I'm able to focus better at work, sleep better at night, my gym gains are materially improving, my overall mood and outlook on my day-to-day is more positive, and the list goes on. I can't recommend this enough. They're also running a KILLER deal on an unlimited use of the chamber for a low monthly fee for a Christmas special. Trust me, money well spent. Support local, shop local, stay healthy folks!

Hi there! Not long ago, I couldn't even turn my head because of my neck pain. A few treatments of local cryotherapy & it started to ease the pain, but Whole Body Cryotherapy was the real breakthrough. It's incredible – my pain is almost gone, and I can move freely again. If you're in pain, give it a shot; it's been a game-changer for me.

Whole body cryo is where it’s at. I have significant arthritis in my joints and they ache all the time. After a couple cryo sessions in a week I noticed a significant difference. Cut the aching at least in half if not more. It seems to maintain as long as I go a little more than once a week. Tried the infrared sauna as well. Liked it too but still 2nd to the cryo.
Mike C.
This was my first trip in for services. Everyone was friendly, professional and attentive. So much going on but they all work together like a well oiled machine! What to expect from shots was explained well. Staff guided me through the process. I received several services today…two IM shots, red light therapy, cryo (all part of the detox protocol) and a massage. Best massage ever! Scott is a skilled professional! Thanks, Zack, for answering all my initial questions and getting me set up with the protocol!

Preparing for Cryotherapy
- You can visit us for cryotherapy anytime, no preparation needed! Just bring shorts and a tank top or t-shirt, and we’ll provide the rest.
Aftercare Steps
- Cryotherapy doesn’t require any aftercare. You can get right back to your day feeling refreshed and invigorated!
- Ask us about our favorite treatments to combine with cryotherapy for even greater results.
The Science Behind Cryotherapy
During cryotherapy, you stand in our cryotherapy chamber filled with cold air. The chamber reaches sub-zero temperatures (down to -150° Fahrenheit) for 3 minutes.
During these 3 minutes, the cold air triggers your fight-or-flight response. This is totally normal, and the resulting reactions invigorate your entire well-being.
Your body constricts your blood vessels and moves blood toward your core. Simultaneously, your oxygen levels increase, and your brain releases a rush of endorphins that boosts your energy and metabolism.
As you exit the chamber, the oxygen-rich blood flows back into the rest of your body, bringing with it extra oxygen, beneficial biochemicals, and a variety of mental and physical benefits.
Whole Body vs Local Cryotherapy
At ThrIVe, we offer both whole-body and local cryotherapy in Wheeling. Both of these services use sub-zero temperatures to jumpstart your body’s healing processes. During whole-body cryotherapy, you’ll stand in our cryo chamber, which allows us to treat your entire body.
During a local cryotherapy session, we’ll use a small device to apply cold air to a specific part of your body, like your knee, hip, shoulder, back, etc. Not sure whether local or whole-body cryotherapy is best for your needs? Ask us! We can recommend the right type and frequency of treatment to achieve your optimal wellness.
A Powerhouse Combo
When clients visit ThrIVe for whole-body cryotherapy, we love to recommend a session in our infrared sauna, too! Between these two treatments, you go from -151 degrees to over 160 degrees in a matter of minutes. The 310-degree difference can burn more than 600 calories, helping you feel alert, fit, and overall amazing!
Frequently Asked Questions
Cryotherapy can be both enjoyable and challenging, but it’s not painful. After the initial shock from the cold during your first time in the cryo chamber, you’ll experience a rush of endorphins and a variety of benefits that make cryotherapy rewarding.
Instead of sitting in an ice bath or applying an ice pack to areas of soreness, cryotherapy can help you feel better sooner. The process is significantly shorter than other forms of athletic recovery, and the benefits last longer.
Our clients agree—cryotherapy is a wellness game-changer.
You can receive a cryotherapy treatment up to twice a day! Whether you’re looking to level up your post-workout routine or you need a pick-me-up in the mornings, cryotherapy can help you feel your best in a matter of minutes.
No, you can walk right in! Whole-body cryotherapy takes just 3 minutes, so no appointment is necessary.
Your first appointment will take approximately 20 minutes as you fill out paperwork, learn about the process, and enjoy your first session. After that, your entire ThrIVe visit for cryotherapy in Wheeling can take as little as 10 minutes!
