Ashley was introduced to cryotherapy while training for the Boston and New York Marathons in 2017. She battled Achilles Tendinitis for 9 months. Ashley tried everything from ice, rolling, massage, physical therapy, and time off from training. Nothing helped. A client suggested cryotherapy, so she gave it a try. She could not believe the results. Ashley knew she had to share this incredible recovery method with her local community!

After researching the benefits of whole body cryotherapy, she realized it isn't only for athletes! It was a no-brainer for Ashley and her husband, Ryan, to introduce cryotherapy to Jasper, IN.

“Safety was a major concern for us, and the Cryo Innovations XR was the right choice. The technology and safety features of the XR are second to none. The point of sale and customer relations are top notch as well. We are grateful!” - Ashley
