Impact Cryotherapy’s Innovative Solutions Leverage Cryotherapy’s Growing Popularity to Drive Success

Impact Cryotherapy has become one of the fastest growing whole body cryotherapy companies in the world through a combination of product innovation and excellence combined with the growing popularity of whole body cryotherapy. Impact Cryotherapy systems are used by a wide range of professional and university sports teams, resorts and spas, as well as entrepreneurs, many of whom are purchasing multiple units.

“Cryotherapy equipment has not changed substantially in design or technology over the past few decades,” says Richard Otto, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Most units were being manufactured in Europe and shipped to the U.S., and any service might involve long delays and downtime. We established Impact as a company that engineers, manufactures and services units in the U.S.A.”

Impact Cryotherapy has pioneered technological and manufacturing advances that improve user comfort, equipment durability and service efficiency, including:

  • High-quality anodized aluminum components to enhance equipment longevity, eliminating wooden parts used in other systems
  • Patent-pending single circuit to mix air and gas, enabling a more uniform temperature and resulting in a more comfortable experience for the user
  • Multilevel heat exchange system for maximum efficiency
  • UL Listed to ensure the highest level of safety in U.S. and Canada
  • Quick release (plug and play) serviceability of all critical components for efficient on-site repair

“2015 has been a phenomenal year for us,” says Robert Atwood, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. “Not only have our U.S. sales been boosted by multi-state, multi-unit purchases, but we’ve also seen acceleration in our global sales. The enthusiastic response to our systems has exceeded even our most aggressive projections.”

In addition to its Atlanta manufacturing facility, Impact Cryotherapy recently added a second manufacturing facility with a showroom in St. Louis. The company expects to open a showroom and retail facility in Atlanta in the near future. Both manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.

“By examining opportunities for innovation that improve performance, safety and energy efficiency, Impact Cryotherapy has met the growing need for reliable and affordable units for use by nationally recognized fitness and wellness advocates as well as other individuals who find cryotherapy beneficial to their health and performance,” adds Otto.

Impact Cryotherapy Formed to Meet Growing Demand for U.S.-Made Whole Body Cryotherapy Systems

Impact Cryotherapy has been launched in response to increasing requests for a whole body cryotherapy system designed and manufactured in the United States. The company, formed by veteran healthcare executives, is already filling orders for the systems from customers, including sports teams, physical therapy facilities, health clubs, retail locations, trainers and individuals.

Cryotherapy is used worldwide by athletes and others to maintain fitness and increase energy. Athletes, ranging from professionals to weekend warriors, claim that whole body cryotherapy gives them an edge over competitors by allowing them to recover faster from workouts and train harder. Other advocates of cryotherapy seek total body wellness or relief from inflammation.

“Whole body cryotherapy has a growing base of fans who believe strongly in its benefits,” says Richard E. Otto, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Impact Cryotherapy. “We saw that cryotherapy has growing adoption, but all systems were made overseas. It became apparent to us that there was an enormous demand for an American-designed and American-manufactured system.”

“We are pleased to have our corporate headquarters in Atlanta, where manufacturing of the systems is also taking place. We have already sold the cryotherapy systems to customers across the country. We also plan to open an Impact Cryotherapy retail facility during the next six months, which will augment our direct sales of equipment and allow more individuals to benefit from the advantages of cryotherapy,” Otto added.

Extreme cold has been used to treat inflammation for centuries, but modern applications began during the 1970s in Japan, where cryotherapy treatments were used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Since then, numerous clinical studies have been conducted in Europe, which developed the whole body cryotherapy systems in use today.

The user stands inside the patent-pending, octagonal-shaped chamber during treatment on an adjustable platform, which ensures their head remains outside the chamber. The Impact Cryotherapy chamber is filled with nitrogen vapor, which drops the temperature to a range of (minus) -​140°C to -170°C and temporarily lowers the temperature of the skin’s top layer. This treatment lasts a maximum of three minutes. During the process, the skin sends signals to the brain, which stimulates physical reactions and activates naturally occurring healing resources. Once out of the chamber, the body immediately reheats.

“The American-made Impact Cryotherapy whole body system represents the most advanced approach to the proven treatment of cold therapy and is clearly distinguishable from foreign-made units,” says Robert T. Atwood, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder.  “Additionally, the system offers an attractive return on investment because of its cost effectiveness and the rapid throughput, thanks to the very nature of cryotherapy treatments. The compact footprint makes it suitable for a variety of settings.”
