Cryotherapy and Compression

I am a distance runner and my goal is to be always in shape for all my workouts. About a year ago I have discovered cryotherapy. I noticed that my body was less sore, I started running faster and my sleeping quality and time have improved. And that take just 3 minutes.

Cryotherapy is a research-proven cold therapy that activates your body’s natural pain and inflammation fighters.  Chilling just 3 minutes in a cold air sauna activates its healing and recovery processes. The end result is relief from pain and inflammation, accelerated muscle recovery, decreased joint pain, boosted energy levels, increased metabolic rate and enhanced complexion.

• ​Relieves Pain & Inflammation

• Accelerates Workout Recovery

• Increases Caloric Burn

• Improves Sleep Quality

• Rejuvenates Skin Complexion

When I went to Sacramento for California International Marathon, the day before the race, I felt sluggish and tired after a flight. I found a local cryotherapy and did a session of cryotherapy, but they also provided a complimentary Nortmatec compression therapy. After those procedures I felt immediately refreshed and energized. Next I did CIM with huge PR 3h 14 min.

The day of the race I did again cryotherapy and my post marathon recovery was way short then usually.

When I got back to Austin I found an amazing cryotherapy place with awesome deal. Champion Cryotherapy(11714 Wilson Parke Avenue, Austin, TX 78726, tel 737-212-7104) has a special going on - 3 min cryotherapy + 30 minutes of Normatec compression therapy just for $29 for first time comers. After first session you can also get an introductory bundle of 5 cryo+compression just for $139.

Here is some information about Nortmatec compression therapy.

Recovery is one of the most underestimated part of the training process. But proper recovery leads to a better performance. Stay injured free and happy!
