More than ever, we're turning to holistic options, wellness centers and finding ways to better ourselves. There are endless opportunities in the Hudson Valley of different events we can participate in to experience healing.

Reiki sessions, kirtan classes and qigong classes are some of the unique ways we can learn more not only about wellness but more about ourselves as well.

Hudson Valley oxygen bars, red light therapy sessions and infrared saunas also allow us to relax, restore and rejuvenate when we need it the most during our busy lives.

4 Places To Try Cryotherapy in the Hudson Valley

Have You Ever Heard Of Cryotherapy?

Healthline describe cryotherapy as,

"Cryotherapy, which literally means “cold therapy,” is a technique where the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes.

Cryotherapy can be delivered to just one area, or you can opt for whole-body cryotherapy. Localized cryotherapy can be administered in a number of ways, including through ice packs, ice massage, coolant sprays, ice baths, and even through probes administered into tissue."

I have heard that taking cool showers if beneficial to your health but this is stepping it up.

What Are The Benefits Of Cryotherapy?

WEB MD describes the benefits of cryotherapy.

Those who have tried cryotherapy claim that it assists with weight loss, reduces inflammation, pain and swelling, can improve blood circulation, boost metabolism and more.

As always, have a conversation with your doctor before trying something new to make sure its suitable for you.
