Cold, right where you want it

Precision Cryotherapy is a short, guided session where a specialist uses a handheld device to direct a focused stream of cold at one area you choose, like a shoulder, a knee or your upper back. The rest of you stays dressed and comfortable at room temperature. Think of it as the focus of a cold plunge, without stepping into one.

A quick chat, then the chill

Your specialist starts by asking where you'd like to focus and how you like your cold. Then the device comes on, and you feel a crisp, bright chill land right on that spot. It's intense for a moment, then surprisingly easy to settle into.

For a few minutes, your specialist moves the device in slow, steady passes across the area, watching your skin and checking in as they go. You'll feel the cold sharpen and spread across the surface, and they'll adjust the pace whenever you like. All you have to do is breathe and let it happen.

At around five minutes with no change of clothes, it slips easily onto the end of a workout or a long day on your feet. Many members make it their go-to cool-down for the areas that work hardest, once or twice a week.

Precision Cryotherapy pairs naturally with the rest of the Playground. Some members follow it with something warm and unhurried for that hot-and-cold contrast, while others save it as a crisp finish to their visit.

When the session ends, your skin slowly warms back up, and that shift from cold to warm is a moment many members come to love. They often tell us they walk out feeling refreshed, light and ready to move.

FAQ

Common
Questions

  • What is Precision Cryotherapy?

    A guided cold experience focused on a specific area of your body, rather than the whole body at once. Your specialist directs a handheld stream of cold exactly where you'd like it.

  • How is it different from full-body cold exposure?

    Instead of stepping into a cold chamber or plunge, the cold is concentrated on one area (such as a shoulder, knee, or lower back), so the experience is quick, focused, and comfortable for the rest of you.

  • Why use it?

    Members love it as a targeted cool-down after training or a long day, and as an easy, no-downtime addition to their Playground ritual.

  • Is Precision Cryotherapy right for me?

    Every first visit starts with a conversation and screening with one of our specialists, so your session is tailored to you. If you're pregnant, have a medical condition, are sensitive to cold, or have a circulation-related condition, please check with your doctor before your first session.
