Localized cryotherapy at MueveFlex Wellness Center uses targeted cold exposure to reduce inflammation, calm nerve pain, and speed up recovery — without the discomfort or cost of a full-body cryo chamber. Dr. Jesus Bernal offers this as a standalone service or paired with assisted stretch therapy for Tucson clients dealing with pain, swelling, or slow recovery.
What Is Localized Cryotherapy?
Localized cryotherapy applies controlled cold directly to a specific area of the body — a joint, muscle group, or injury site — to trigger a natural physiological response. The cold narrows blood vessels near the surface, which helps reduce inflammation and swelling, and it can also numb localized nerve pain, giving the area a chance to recover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is localized cryotherapy the same as an ice pack?
It is more targeted and controlled than a standard ice pack, using techniques designed to reach a therapeutic effect more efficiently and consistently.
Can I combine cryotherapy with stretch therapy in one visit?
Yes — many clients do both in the same session for combined inflammation reduction and mobility benefits.
Who should avoid cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is not right for every condition. Dr. Bernal will review your health history during your consultation to make sure it is appropriate for you.
