Cryo-therapy<\/a> involves the use of nitrogen gas to cool down the muscular system, enhancing recovery. You step into a \u201ccryo-bath,\u201d which is a machine that surrounds your body up to your neck. The attendant then turns on the device, releasing nitrogen gas into the cryo-bath, cooling the surface of your skin and penetrating deep into muscle tissue.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe cooling effect on your body lasts for up to 8-hours after your session, forcing the body to burn between 600 to 800-calories in this period. Therefore, a 15-minute cryo-therapy session is as effective at burning calories as a 45-minute run.

Athletes and gym rats who use cryo-therapy swear by its results. In some cases, athletes may experience a complete recovery from exercise-induced muscular stress, with one session. There’s only one drawback to the treatment, while cryo-therapy is incredibly effective at removing muscle soreness, it’s expensive.
