What to Expect
​
-
The area being treated must be exposed, so we recommend women wear shorts and a sports bra. Men may be required to remove their shirts. (medical gowns and/or shorts may be provided if necessary)
-
We will keep you covered with a blanket and only expose one area at a time during the session.
-
The therapist will start by stretching the treatment area without cold air to get a baseline
-
Your therapist will then apply the cold air while simultaneously stretching that muscle again
-
They will finish up by applying a warm towel to the treatment area
-
You will leave your session with less muscle tension and greater range of motion!

How it Works
Because the cold is only penetrating your skin layers and we are keeping the rest of your body warm, the muscles are free to stretch and elongate. We also end each muscle region with a hot pack and some passive movement to get blood flowing even more.
