Did we have fun? Yes! It’s something my daughter and I will be talking and laughing about for weeks to come! Did my knee pain go away? No, but I didn’t really expect a 3 minute therapy to fix my 20 years of knee pain. Did I sleep well? No but that’s because my dog woke me up at 2AM not feeling well.

So how did I feel afterwards? I had a ton of energy, was more mentally alert and felt great right afterwards. I did make it but was ready for it to be over. I can do anything for 3 minutes.” The technician stands and talks you through it. I hate the cold! Why did I think this would be a good idea! Does anyone say “Um, hold it, no mas, I’m out!” I was running in place with my mittens pressed to my face thinking, “Can I do this? I can do this. When I stepped in and the technician powered up the Sauna it was about 30 seconds in and I thought there’s NO WAY I can tolerate this for 3 minutes. Sounds fun, right!? J Well, it’s purported to decrease pain and inflammation, help with sleep, enhance mood, increase metabolism and some other benefits so why not! And on Monday Funday at Cryo Myst in Bryn Mawr it’s only ten bucks! You wear socks, crocks and mittens and stand in the chamber for 3 minutes. So basically you enter this sauna chamber, and it’s a “dry ice” like environment where nitrogen gas between -180 to -264 degrees Fahrenheit envelops the body. Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is a method that takes place in a specialized chamber using liquid nitrogen. If you don’t know what it is essentially it’s using cold for health benefits. And I brought my daughter with me for fun. I have some knee pain and a few of my girlfriends swear by it so I thought I’d give it a shot. Cryotherapy has been around for several years and I just got around to trying it.
