Early runs along Lake Shore Road. Sailing and paddling on Lake St. Clair. Ski weekends up north. Hockey, lacrosse and tournament weekends across the Pointes. All that activity comes with sore legs, stiff backs and the "I can barely walk down the stairs" feeling the next morning. Here's how local athletes use cryotherapy at iCRYO Grosse Pointe (https://icryo-grossepointe-mi.com/services/cryotherapy) to recover faster. New to cryo? Start with What Is Whole-Body Cryotherapy? (https://icryo-grossepointe-mi.com/blog/what-is-whole-body-cryotherapy) ## Why Recovery Matters in Michigan - **Ski season** pounds your legs - **Spring and fall race seasons** stack up quickly - **Summer humidity** makes training harder - **Busy weekends** pile tournaments, hikes and yard work on top of the workweek ## Cryotherapy for Skiers and Snowboarders Hours of carving and absorbing bumps leave your quads, knees and back feeling it. **Try this:** Book cryo the day after a big ski weekend up north. ## Cryotherapy for Runners From lakefront miles to the Detroit Free Press Marathon, runners put in serious work. **Try this:** Add cryo after long runs during training blocks and in the days after races. ## Cryotherapy for Cyclists and Paddlers Long rides along the lakefront and hours on the water tax your legs, back and shoulders. **Try this:** Pair cryo with compression therapy (https://icryo-grossepointe-mi.com/services/compression-therapy) after big efforts. ## Cryotherapy for Tournament Families and Team Athletes Back-to-back games are tough on young and adult athletes alike. **Try this:** Book cryo the day after a tournament weekend.
