KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A new operation opened in Knoxville on Sept. 21 offering Knoxvillians a new cool experience. The name is Ice Up Cryo, and it provides full-body cryotherapy sessions.
What is cryotherapy? Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes it as “the therapeutic use of cold.”
Partners in the business are Augustin Manolache, Lindsey Manolache, Dr. Jennifer Giltnane, and Evan Hauser and Casey Flowers, who are married and oversee the operation.
The couple describe this treatment as an option for those who routinely use ice to relieve or diminish pain.
“Cold therapy has been used for years with the use of ice packs or ice baths to produce an analgesic effect. This is just another method,” Hauser said.
