CRYOWAVE PAIN RELIEF + RECOVERY · AKRON, OHIO

Focused care for
sore, overworked
areas.

Shoulder. Back. Knee. Hip. One area that keeps asking for your attention.

CryoWave uses localized heat-and-cold contrast to focus treatment on a specific area that feels sore, tight or overworked. Rather than exposing your whole body to extreme temperatures, your provider works directly over the area you want to address.

The temperature shifts throughout the treatment, moving between warming and cooling sensations in a controlled, provider-guided session. Targeted, localized and designed around where you need it.

BOOK CRYOWAVE

Heat. Cold.
Right where you need it.

CryoWave delivers alternating warming and cooling directly to one targeted area. Your provider moves the treatment applicator over the skin, adjusting the temperature sequence throughout the session.

Rather than exposing your whole body to extreme temperatures, CryoWave keeps the experience localized—making it a focused option for areas that feel sore, tight or overworked.

The shift between heat and cold creates a distinctly different experience from a traditional cold plunge or sauna. Everything is concentrated where you want the attention.

How thermal contrast works

Warm.
Cool.
Contrast.

CryoWave is not cold therapy alone. The handheld applicator moves through controlled warming and cooling over one selected area, creating a localized contrast experience designed to complement physical recovery.

01 Warming phase

Start with
warmth.

Controlled warmth encourages local blood flow while giving tight or overworked muscles time to settle into the treatment.

02 Cooling phase

Shift into
cooling.

Localized cooling changes the sensation quickly and may temporarily reduce feelings of soreness or discomfort in the treated area.

03 Contrast recovery

Alternate +
recover.

Moving between warming and cooling creates the thermal contrast at the center of the CryoWave experience.

Localized vs whole-body recovery

CryoWave or
Cold Plunge?

Both use cold as part of the experience, but they are very different services. Choose CryoWave when one specific area needs attention. Choose Cold Plunge when you want a brief, whole-body cold-water immersion.

Whole-body cold.
Quick reset.

  • Whole-body cold-water immersion
  • Cold exposure only

One does not have to replace the other. CryoWave is the more targeted choice when one specific area needs attention, while Cold Plunge provides a broader whole-body cold experience.

What CryoWave feels like, how it differs from other cold therapies and what to know before choosing your target area.

Ask our team
What is CryoWave thermal contrast therapy?

CryoWave is a localized thermal contrast system that alternates controlled warming and cooling over one targeted area. At Yellow Creek, it is used as a non-invasive recovery experience for areas that feel sore, tight or overworked.

How much is CryoWave?

Shoulders, arms, thighs, glutes and abdomen are $310 per session. Back is $340. Choose the area you want addressed when booking online.

How long should I allow?

Appointment length varies by treatment area. Check the duration shown for your selected area in online booking, or call 330.665.2555 before reserving if you need help planning your visit.

What does CryoWave feel like?

You will feel the handheld applicator moving over the selected area while the temperature transitions between controlled warmth and cooling. Your provider remains with you throughout the treatment.

How is CryoWave different from traditional cryotherapy?

Traditional cryotherapy centers primarily on cold exposure. CryoWave uses localized thermal contrast, alternating controlled warmth and cooling directly over a specific treatment area.

Is CryoWave the same as Cryo T-Shock?

No. CryoWave and Cryo T-Shock are different branded systems. Both use the general concept of localized temperature contrast, but the equipment, protocols and programming can differ.

Is CryoWave the same as a Cold Plunge?

No. Cold Plunge uses whole-body cold-water immersion. CryoWave is a provider-guided localized treatment that alternates warming and cooling over one selected area.

What areas can I book?

Online options are shoulders, back, arms, thighs, glutes and abdomen. If you want another area addressed or want more than one area treated, call 330.665.2555 before booking.

Can I use CryoWave after a workout?

CryoWave can be incorporated into a post-activity recovery routine when a particular muscle group feels tired, tight or overworked after running, cycling, strength training or other physical activity.

Is there downtime afterward?

CryoWave is non-invasive and does not require a formal recovery period. Most guests can continue with their normal day after the session.

Will one session be enough?

Responses vary, and any improvement may be temporary. Notice how the area feels after treatment before deciding whether another session makes sense. New, persistent or worsening pain should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional.

How often should I book CryoWave?

Frequency depends on your activity level, recovery goals and the area being addressed. Your provider can help you determine an appropriate schedule based on your response to the treatment.

Can I combine CryoWave with other recovery services?

Depending on your goals, CryoWave may be paired with services such as Normatec Compression, Infrared Sauna, Cold Plunge or PEMF. Ask our team if you would like help planning multiple services in one visit.

Safety + suitability

Is CryoWave right
for you?

Temperature-based treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Tell our team about relevant health conditions before treatment so we can help determine whether CryoWave is an appropriate choice for your visit.

Tell us before
your session.

  • Pregnancy
  • Circulation concerns
  • Significant temperature sensitivity
  • Recent procedures or surgery
  • Recent injury
  • Other conditions currently under medical care

When in doubt,
check first.

If you have a medical condition that affects circulation, skin sensation or your response to temperature—or you are unsure whether localized heat and cold are appropriate for you—consult your healthcare provider before booking.

Unexplained, persistent or worsening pain should be medically assessed rather than treated as routine post-activity soreness.
