Cryotherapy in Chicago

Freeze & Float's whole-body cryotherapy sessions expose the body to extreme cold — typically between -200°F and -250°F — for up to three minutes inside a cryosauna chamber. The thermal shock triggers vasoconstriction followed by rapid vasodilation, stimulating circulation and prompting the release of endorphins and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Common applications include post-workout muscle recovery, reduction of inflammation, and a general energy boost. Sessions are fast, with no downtime, making them suitable before or after athletic training.

Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) at Next Health Lincoln Park uses a non-nitrogen electric cryo chamber reaching –150°F (–101°C) for sessions of 2.5–3.5 minutes. The extreme cold triggers physiological stress responses including vasoconstriction, endorphin release, and anti-inflammatory cascades. A complimentary first session is offered to new clients. Located at 2313 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.
