Localized Cryotherapy at Flow State Cryo & Recovery offers a targeted cold exposure experience designed to focus on specific areas of the body. Rather than full body immersion or facial applications, this modality allows clients to direct cooling precisely where they want it, creating a controlled and intentional experience.
Many clients choose localized cryotherapy as part of their wellness routine when they want a focused, efficient session that fits easily into their day. Sessions are brief, guided by trained staff, and designed to feel approachable, comfortable, and tailored to individual preferences.
Zimmer Localized Cryotherapy
Zimmer Localized Cryotherapy delivers a precise stream of chilled air (-25°F) to target acute pain, instantly reduce swelling, and accelerate healing in specific joints or muscle groups.
Instantly Numbs Pain: Delivers a concentrated stream of cold air that acts as a powerful analgesic, numbing nerve endings in specific areas to provide immediate relief from acute injuries or chronic joint pain.
Reduces Localized Swelling: Causes rapid vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) in the targeted area, effectively pushing out fluid and inflammation from swollen knees, ankles, or elbows.
Restores Range of Motion: Reduces the fluid pressure and inflammation inside the joint capsule, allowing stiff or injured joints to move more freely immediately after treatment.
Stops Muscle Spasms: The extreme cold creates a thermal shock that interrupts the feedback loop causing muscle spasms, allowing tight or seized muscles to relax.
Accelerates Injury Recovery: Increases the flow of nutrient-rich blood to the area once the tissue warms back up (vasodilation), speeding up the repair of sprains, strains, and tendonitis.
Course of care: Once daily during injury, reducing to 2x weekly or as needed.

How Localized Cryotherapy Is Experienced
During a localized cryotherapy session, cold air is applied directly to the chosen area. The sensation is often described as intense at first, followed by a warming or refreshed feeling once the exposure ends.
Because the treatment is focused, many clients appreciate the ability to control where the cold is applied and how long the session lasts. The experience is brief, guided, and designed to fit easily into a wellness or recovery routine.
Localized Cryotherapy and Whole Body Cryotherapy
Localized cryotherapy and whole body cryotherapy offer different experiences. Localized sessions focus on one area at a time, while whole body cryotherapy provides full body cold exposure inside a chamber.
Some clients choose localized cryotherapy on its own, while others enjoy pairing it with whole body cryotherapy to create a broader cold exposure experience. Our team can help explain how each option feels and how they differ so clients can decide what works best for their routine.
What to Expect During a Session
When you arrive, a team member will review the process and confirm the area to be targeted. Cold air is then applied to that area for a short period of time while staff remain present and attentive.
The session is brief and designed to feel manageable and controlled. First time clients receive clear explanations and guidance throughout the experience so they know what to expect at every step.
