Localised Cryotherapy

A targeted cryotherapy session applying vaporised nitrogen to specific areas of the body — joints, muscles, or injury sites — using a handheld applicator with integrated laser thermometer for precise temperature monitoring. Sessions last approximately ten minutes and focus cold exposure on areas that may benefit most.

Localised cryotherapy differs from whole-body treatment by concentrating extreme cold on specific body regions rather than exposing the entire body. The practitioner uses a handheld device that delivers vaporised nitrogen to the target area while monitoring skin temperature in real time via a built-in laser thermometer. This allows precise control of the cold exposure, ensuring the tissue reaches therapeutic temperatures without overcooling. This approach is commonly selected by clients dealing with localised discomfort in specific joints or muscle groups — a sore knee, a stiff shoulder, or a recently trained muscle group. The localised application may support the body's natural inflammatory processes in the treated area. Athletes frequently use localised cryotherapy on the day of or day after intense training sessions focused on specific body parts. At Octane Wellness, localised cryotherapy is positioned as both a standalone treatment and a complement to the whole-body session. Clients who want full-body cold exposure with additional targeted attention to a particular area can combine both in a single visit. At EUR 40 per session, it is the most affordable cryotherapy option at the centre.
