How often should you do cryotherapy at NOLA Chill?
Most people get better results from a repeatable routine than from random sessions. Start with a frequency you can keep consistently, compare package options on pricing, and book your next session from Schedule an Appointment.
One of the most common questions we hear at NOLA Chill: how often should I actually be doing this? The honest answer depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Here’s a practical breakdown.
For Athletic Recovery: 2–3 Times Per Week
If you’re training regularly — running, lifting, playing sports, cycling — 2 to 3 whole body cryotherapy sessions per week gives your body a consistent inflammation reset. Most athletes stack sessions on their hardest training days, within an hour or two after the workout.
For General Wellness and Stress Relief: Once Per Week
For people using cryo primarily for mood, energy, sleep quality, and general wellbeing — one session per week delivers noticeable cumulative benefits over time. Most clients in this category report the biggest improvements after their third or fourth consecutive week.
For Chronic Pain or Inflammation: 3–5 Times in the First Two Weeks
If you’re dealing with a specific inflammatory condition — joint pain, arthritis, post-surgical swelling — an initial loading protocol of 3 to 5 sessions in the first two weeks can establish a meaningful baseline of inflammation reduction. After that, 1 to 2 sessions per week for maintenance.
Can You Do Cryotherapy Every Day?
Yes — daily cryo is safe and is practiced by some professional athletes during intense training blocks. Your body doesn’t build a tolerance to the cold therapy response the way it does with some medications. That said, most people get excellent results at 2 to 3 sessions per week without needing daily sessions.
