What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, the use of extremely low temperatures for therapeutic benefit, began as early as the 17th century. In 1978, Dr. Yamaguchi of Japan began using freezing sessions of short duration on his patients’ skin surface for immediate relief of rheumatoid arthritis through the rapid decrease of temperature of the outer layer of skin.
In the 1980s Yamaguchi and his associates came to the conclusion that using a cryosauna for rapid short-term freezing of the skin’s surface has a more beneficial effect on the human body than its gradual cooling while immersed in an ice bath. Further study in Europe over the last 3 decades has established WBC (Whole Body Cryotherapy) as a powerful therapy for, and recovery from, a variety of conditions.
Our mission is to help as many people as possible engage in the life they want to live, naturally, without pain and injury hindering their pursuit of happiness.
N2 Cryotherapy offers clients a natural 1-3 minute cold therapy process which takes place in a cryosauna.
What is a Cryosauna?
The cryosauna is a high-tech cooling machine that administers whole-body cryotherapy to the body. It's a safe and natural process, making it very popular among those who have grown tired of other therapeutic methods.
Sessions are safe and pain free. The cryosauna will expose your bare skin to temperatures below
-220°F for 3 minutes or less. Your skin temperature will initially drop to 30°F before rising to 95°F for 30-45 seconds (normal skin temperature is 90.5°F) and then goes down to normal.
Exposing your body to the cold temperatures of a cryosauna will stimulate the natural responses of your body, resulting in significant benefits; such as reduction of inflammation, and swelling. Not only is your immune system stimulated, but every organ in your body is affected positively.
The extreme cold exposure causes the body to turn up its metabolic rate in order to produce heat. This effect lasts hours after the procedure, causing the body to burn between 600-800 calories. After several procedures, the increase in metabolic rate tends to last longer between sessions.
The cold air activates an increased production of collagen in deeper layers of your skin, causing your skin to become smoother and more even-toned, regaining elasticity and significantly improving the overall condition of your skin.
Skin vessels and capillaries undergo severe vasoconstriction (to keep the core temperature from dropping), followed by vasodilation after the procedure. Toxins and other stored deposits are flushed out of the layers of the skin and blood perfusion is improved after several treatments.
Cryosauna therapy can lead to medication reduction due to your body's natural healing responses to the process. Think of it as a trigger that releases your body's own natural nutrients

At N2 Cryotherapy, we believe in giving you the best cryotherapy experience possible. Upon arrival you will be greeted by one of our certified assistants, and they will answer any questions you may have. We will have you read and sign a waiver, check your blood pressure, and show you to a cryosauna room.*
Before the assistant leaves, they will show you how to open the cryosauna door, get in and out of the cryosauna and where the “READY” bell is located. A step will be provided for you if needed. Your assistant will provide a towel wrap; a pair of clean, dry gloves & socks; and a pair of slippers, and exit the room.
When your assistant leaves, you will remove all clothing and jewelry and put on the provided protective clothing. Men may bring cotton underwear or boxers, as you will need the extra protection.
Once you are in your protective clothing, step into the cryosauna, close the door and ring the “READY” bell located conveniently in the cryosauna. Your assistant will come back into the room, lift you to the appropriate level, take your towel wrap and turn on the cryosauna. Your assistant will remain with you throughout the experience. Many clients like to talk their way through the session with their assistant, others prefer to listen to music. You will feel cold, but you will not freeze. You may instantly feel the effects of the cryosauna relieving any aches or pains you may have, and after a 2-3 minute conversation, your time is done.
Once the machine turns off, your assistant will hand you your towel wrap and leave the room. As you exit the cryosauna, your body instantly warms back up to regular temperature. Remove and drop the towel wrap and protective clothing in the appropriate bin, dress and exit the room.
You should notice the immediate benefits of your session as you leave the room. Your energy level should be elevated, any pain should be drastically reduced or temporarily eliminated. The benefits from this natural service will keep you coming back.
Your privacy is very important to us. We only see your face, as the rest of your body will be inside the cryosauna. However, if you need help entering or exiting the cryosauna please alert your assistant, and arrangements can be made to help you.

* If your blood pressure is within the normal range your assistant will show you to a cryosauna room. If your blood pressure is found to be above normal, we ask that you have a drink of water, sit down, and we will re-check your blood pressure in 10 minutes. Most people will be able to enter the cryosauna after a 10 minute rest.
