Studies — the scientific evidence behind modern recovery and wellness therapies.
Cryospots is a neutral directory. We don't sell treatments — which lets us present the evidence on every modality honestly. Confident where the science is strong, sober where marketing has outrun the research.
Therapy modalities
Cryotherapy
Whole-body and partial-body cryo, cryo saunas, ice baths and cryo facials. Recovery, inflammation, mood, pain, sports performance.
Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT)
Pressurized 100% oxygen breathing in chambers at 1.5–3 ATA. Wound healing, neuroregeneration, traumatic brain injury, post-stroke recovery, longevity research.
Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation with red and near-infrared wavelengths (630–850 nm). Skin health, mitochondrial function, muscle recovery, hair growth.
Cold Plunge & Ice Baths
Cold-water immersion at 0–15 °C for 2–10 minutes. Norepinephrine surge, brown-fat activation, post-exercise recovery, mental resilience.
Infrared Sauna
Far- and near-infrared heat therapy at 50–80 °C. Cardiovascular benefits, detox, sleep, post-workout recovery and chronic pain.
IHHT — Intermittent Hypoxic-Hyperoxic Training
Alternating low-oxygen and high-oxygen breathing intervals via mask. Mitochondrial fitness, cardiovascular adaptation, longevity research.
Compression Therapy
Pneumatic compression boots and sleeves — Normatec, RecoveryPump and similar. Lymphatic drainage, post-workout recovery, circulation support.
IV Therapy
Intravenous nutrient delivery — NAD+, glutathione, vitamin C, B-complex. Energy, immune support, hangover recovery, anti-aging.
Evidence over marketing.
Each modality gets its own studies hub with curated peer-reviewed papers, categorised by application area (recovery, pain, inflammation, mental health, clinical conditions). No affiliate links, no click commissions — just the research.
