Coming this summer you won’t have to leave the neighborhood for cryotherapy.
CryoUSA is opening a location in Arboretum Village. They’ve signed a lease for suite 155, but they are being “held up right now with build-out,” according to spokeswoman Cydne Currie.
“We’re hoping to start construction any day now, and we hope to be done by the end of August,” Currie says. “We love the location, so that’s why we want to be there, close to White Rock.”
The overall space is 2,600-square-feet, and CryoUSA will design several closed rooms within the suite.
CryoUSA offers cryotherapy, which is a hyper-cooling process that lowers a person’s skin temperature to below freezing for up to three minutes.
Currie explains this “sends the body into fight or flight mode” for a short time. Then when the participant leaves the extremely cold temperatures, it pushes the blood out to the extremities, which “flushes out” the system.
The people who most commonly use cryotherapy are runners — hence why White Rock Lake is such an ideal location for CryoUSA — but it can also help with recovery and personal wellness, Currie says.
Cryotherapy is common overseas, but many people in the United States haven’t heard of it or don’t understand what it is or how it works.
“We always take our time with our clients. We focus on education,” Currie says. “We don’t want someone to walk away and not understand what they went through and what their body is doing.”
