How to prepare

Clients are required to wear underwear or a bathing suit without metal during the session. Cryofuel will provide you with speciality socks, gloves and shoes to be worn in-treatment. Additionally, all jewelry must be removed before the session. They recommend being well-hydrated/nourished pre-session, as this can increase tolerance to cold. Post-session they recommend hydrating however eating is completely individual and has no negative or positive effect either way in regard to the benefits of the treatment. If you choose to workout before your treatment, they ask that you allow enough time for your core body temperature to fully cool down before your session. In addition, you must be completely dry (no sweat). They strongly recommend working out after your cryotherapy session so you can reap the full benefits of feeling more energized and flexible. When should I NOT use cryotherapy?
