Theracare Physical Therapy offers Whole-Body Cryotherapy (WBC) in Tarzana, CA using CryoBuilt's fully electric cryotherapy equipment, as part of a comprehensive recovery and pain management program. Sessions may help support the body's response to inflammation, pain, and soreness after injury, surgery, or intense activity. Used alongside hands-on Physical Therapy in Tarzana, WBC is one more tool our therapists use to support your body's natural healing process.
What Is Cryotherapy?
Whole-Body Cryotherapy (WBC) briefly exposes the entire body to controlled, ultra-low air temperatures inside a specialized chamber. Theracare uses CryoBuilt equipment, a fully electric WBC system engineered to eliminate liquid nitrogen entirely, using electric refrigeration instead to reach and hold consistent ultra-low temperatures under automated, monitored control. This is different from other cold-exposure methods you may have tried: localized cold therapy (ice packs or cold compresses) cools only one area of the body over a longer period, cold plunges submerge the body in cold water and cool tissue more slowly through a different mechanism, and traditional nitrogen-based cryotherapy chambers rely on liquid nitrogen vapor, which the FDA has flagged for risks including oxygen displacement and asphyxiation in enclosed spaces. CryoBuilt's fully electric design was built specifically to eliminate nitrogen and its associated hazards while still delivering brief, whole-body cold exposure under automated safety controls, including session-limit and access safeguards.
How Cryotherapy Supports Recovery
Research on whole-body cryotherapy suggests it may help manage exercise-related muscle soreness and support the body's normal recovery response after intense activity or training, though findings vary across studies and outcomes measured. At Theracare, WBC sessions are used alongside manual therapy and targeted exercise, since supporting your body's recovery response can make it easier to move comfortably during the rest of your treatment plan. As with any wellness modality, WBC is intended to support your broader recovery plan and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cryotherapy?
Whole-Body Cryotherapy is often selected by athletes managing training soreness, patients recovering from an acute injury, and those looking to support recovery as part of a broader treatment plan. It's frequently paired with Red Light Therapy or traditional manual therapy for a more complete recovery approach. Because WBC involves brief exposure to extreme cold, it isn't appropriate for everyone; people with certain cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, cold-related conditions such as Raynaud's phenomenon, active infections, open wounds, or who are pregnant are generally advised against it. The FDA has noted that no whole-body cryotherapy device has been cleared to treat any medical condition, so claims about disease treatment should be viewed with caution. Your therapist will review your health history and current condition to confirm whether WBC fits safely into your plan.
Cryotherapy in Tarzana, CA
At our Tarzana clinic, Whole-Body Cryotherapy using CryoBuilt's fully electric system is offered as part of a broader post-surgical rehabilitation and sports injury recovery program, so patients get a coordinated plan rather than a standalone treatment. Our experienced therapists determine when and how WBC fits into your recovery timeline based on your specific injury, procedure, or condition.
What to Expect During a Session
During a CryoBuilt Whole-Body Cryotherapy session, you'll step into a fully electric cryotherapy chamber for a brief, closely monitored exposure, typically around 2 to 3.5 minutes, with chamber temperatures commonly reaching roughly -140°F to -175°F depending on the specific CryoBuilt equipment and settings used. CryoBuilt's equipment includes automated session-limit controls and fail-safe access safeguards, and your therapist will explain what sensations to expect and answer any questions before beginning. WBC is typically incorporated into a regular physical therapy visit rather than scheduled as a separate standalone appointment, and your therapist will track how you respond to fine-tune future sessions.
