CRYOWAVE RECOVERY FAQ
Before you book.
What is CryoWave thermal shock therapy?
CryoWave is a localized thermal contrast system that alternates controlled warming and cooling over a targeted area. At RE·MEDĒ, it is used as a non-invasive recovery experience for areas that feel sore, tight or overworked.
How is CryoWave different from cryotherapy?
Traditional cryotherapy focuses primarily on cold exposure. CryoWave alternates controlled heat and cold and is applied directly to one specific area.
Is CryoWave the same as a cold plunge?
No. A cold plunge immerses much of the body in cold water. CryoWave is a provider-guided localized treatment that moves between warming and cooling over a targeted area.
What areas can be treated with CryoWave?
CryoWave can be applied to targeted areas such as the back, shoulders, hips, thighs, hamstrings, calves, forearms, glutes and other areas appropriate for localized thermal contrast.
Can I use CryoWave after a workout?
CryoWave can be incorporated into a post-activity recovery routine when specific muscle groups feel tired, tight or overworked after running, cycling, strength training or other strenuous activity.
What does CryoWave feel like?
You will feel the handheld applicator move over the target area while the temperature transitions between controlled warmth and cooling.
Is there downtime after CryoWave?
CryoWave is non-invasive and does not require a formal recovery period. Most clients can continue with their normal day after the session.
How often should I book CryoWave Recovery?
Frequency depends on your activity level, recovery goals and the area being addressed. Your RE·MEDĒ provider can recommend an appropriate schedule.
Can CryoWave be combined with other RE·MEDĒ services?
Yes. Depending on your goals, CryoWave may be paired with services such as Normatec compression, infrared sauna, cold plunge or PEMF as part of a broader recovery routine.
Who should not use CryoWave?
Temperature-based treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Tell our team about pregnancy, circulation concerns, temperature sensitivity, recent procedures, injuries or other health conditions before treatment. When appropriate, consult your healthcare provider before booking.
