Localised Cryotherapy

A targeted cryotherapy application focused on a specific area of the body — such as a joint, muscle group, or injury site — using localised cold delivery for approximately ten minutes. Intended to concentrate the cold-stress response on a particular region rather than the whole body, which may be useful for localised inflammation, soreness, or recovery from a specific strain.

Localised cryotherapy directs extreme cold to a specific body region rather than the whole body, allowing a more concentrated application of cold-stress therapy. At One Thirty Labs, the treatment targets areas such as a sore knee, shoulder, lower back, or any muscle group experiencing discomfort or post-exercise soreness. The mechanism is similar to whole-body cryotherapy — local vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation — but focused on a single area. This approach may be preferred by individuals who want to address a specific pain point without a full-body session, or who find whole-body cryotherapy uncomfortable. It can also be combined with a whole-body session for a more comprehensive recovery protocol. Published research on localised cryotherapy has explored its effects on delayed-onset muscle soreness, acute soft-tissue injuries, and joint inflammation. Results vary across studies, and the optimal dosing parameters (temperature, duration, frequency) continue to be investigated. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime. At 245 DKK per session, localised cryotherapy is priced below the whole-body option, making it accessible for targeted use. Sessions last approximately ten minutes and are bookable online through the One Thirty Labs website.
