Redux Cryotherapy, Alameda

Redux Cryotherapy might just be the coldest place on Earth, at least for a few minutes at a time. Its cryogenic chambers drop to temperatures as low as -292 degrees fahrenheit, using the deep cold to stimulate the body's own natural healing processes. Find out how these cryotherapy sessions might benefit you:

• For health: the sessions increase oxygen in the body's fluids and cells, helping to reduce inflammation and lessen muscle aches and joint pain
• For fitness: that same oxygen boost can facilitate muscle-fiber repair, an especially useful feature for athletes
• For beauty: cryotherapy can kickstart metabolism, leading the body to burn as many as 800 additional calories in the eight hours following a session
