Whole-body cryotherapy has become a recognized supportive therapy in medical wellness programs. Exposure to extremely cold temperatures for short durations can stimulate physiological responses that support recovery and metabolic regulation.
At Medical Wellness by Hertitude, cryotherapy is used as part of integrated wellness and metabolic programs.
