Nordic Freeze — Localized Cryotherapy at Float Boston
Nordic Freeze — cryotherapy at Float Boston, 515 Medford Street, Somerville

Cold, aimed at the spot that hurts.

Localized cryotherapy for sore knees and ankles, tired skin, and stubborn fat. Joint treatments take five minutes — text us to book a time, get sprayed, walk out. Body sculpting and facials are booked with us directly.

What localized cryotherapy is

A precise stream of cold, not a cold room.

We use pressurized CO₂ to put controlled cold, down to −110°F, on one specific area for a short, measured time. You stay dressed, you stay standing or seated, and only the spot being treated gets cold.

The cold drops the surface temperature fast. Blood vessels tighten, which calms swelling, then reopen and bring fresh, oxygenated blood back to the area. It does what an ice pack is trying to do, in a fraction of the time and much deeper. No drugs, no needles, no downtime.

What it treats
  • Joint pain and swellingKnees, ankles, elbows, wrists — after a game, a run, or a long week.
  • RecoveryBefore or after training, between games, alongside whatever else you already do.
  • Stubborn fatThe pinchable layer under the skin, as part of a program you commit to.
  • SkinPuffiness, dull tone, and fine lines on the face, neck, and chest.
Joint pain relief · text to book

Knees and ankles are what we do most.

Nine out of ten pain treatments we do are joints, and most of those are knees and ankles. So that's what we've built this around: one fast, flat-priced treatment for the joints that take the most punishment.

Precise, penetrating cold lowers the temperature of the joint in seconds and signals the body to slow inflammation. Most people feel less pressure, stiffness, and ache within seconds. As the area warms back up, blood vessels reopen and flood the joint with fresh, oxygenated blood, which supports tissue repair and clears out inflammatory byproducts.

The whole visit is about five minutes. You can do it as often as you need, before or after a workout, and alongside almost any other recovery method.

Athletes in season

Runners, hockey and soccer players, lifters, weekend-league regulars. Get a swollen knee or a rolled ankle calmed down between games instead of waiting it out on the couch. NCAA, NFL, and MMA athletes use targeted cryotherapy for the same reason.

Before you train

A joint that's stiff and cranky going into a workout moves better once the swelling is down. Five minutes on the way to the gym, the rink, or the start line.

Joints that never quite settle

Old injuries, overuse, arthritis flare-ups, tendinitis. Cold gets to the joint itself, without medication and without downtime, and you can come back as often as it helps.

Pricing

One price for a joint. A better one for two.

One treatment
$25

Book 2 for $40 with the code book2

A single knee, or two smaller joints — both ankles, both wrists, both elbows, or any pair.

Body sculpting · blocks of four

Body Sculpting

Fat cells are more sensitive to controlled cold than skin, muscle, or nerve tissue. Put the right temperature on the right area for the right amount of time and the fat cells break down, a process called cold-induced apoptosis. Your body clears them through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Here's the part most places won't tell you. The cold is a tool, not a miracle. It speeds up fat loss you're already driving. It does not replace it. Buy sessions, change nothing else, and you'll see modest results at best.

If you're not ready to do your part, this isn't the right program for you, and I'll tell you that on the free consult rather than take your money.

Plan on 8 to 20 sessions. Buy them 4 at a time.

The full effect takes a minimum of 8 sessions and tops out around 20. Nobody can tell you on day one where in that range you'll land, so we don't sell it that way.

Why blocks of four

You buy four, run them 5 to 7 days apart, then decide on the next block based on what your own body did. If you get the result you wanted sooner than you expected, you stop. You're never locked into sessions you turn out not to need.

Who it won't work for

Cryo works on subcutaneous fat, the pinchable layer between skin and muscle. It does nothing for visceral fat, the kind packed around your organs. If you're not sure which you're carrying, get a DEXA scan before you spend anything here and bring me the results. I'll tell you straight whether this is worth your money.

What happens in a session

Four steps, 45 to 60 minutes depending on the area: core and obliques, full legs, arms, or thighs and hips.

1

Deep freeze spray

Our strongest spray reaches deep into the fat. We work in sections, 30 seconds at a time. Cold at first, then little to no discomfort.

2

Collagen fog

A finer cold fog that builds collagen and tightens the skin as we go, so the skin keeps up with the fat loss.

3

Lymphatic massager

A cold massager pushes the broken-down fat toward your lymphatic system. Most people say it feels like very cold butter.

4

Power Plate

Vibration helps flush what the massage couldn't. Then you're done and back out into your day.

This isn't magic.

You see the ads all over the place. Weight loss without the hard work! Just one shot, or one pill and you'll be skinny. That's not how life works. If you're not working out, eating right, or taking care of your body, it won't work and it's not worth it.

Your two floats are part of the treatment

Every full-program block includes 2 floats at Float Boston. Book them for week 1 and week 3, the day you buy your block.

Why they matter

Training harder and eating better is real stress on the body, and elevated cortisol tells your body to hold onto fat, especially around the middle. Floating brings cortisol down so the work you're doing shows up.

Why weeks 1 and 3

Week 1 is when the new habits start to bite. Week 3 is when motivation dips and people quit. One float to blunt the first, one to get you through the second. On Lite, floats aren't included but you can add them at $39 each while your block is running.

Pricing

Two programs, both sold four sessions at a time.

Body sculpting should be done every 5-7 days for best results.

6Sessions

I tested this on myself before I offered it to anyone. Six sessions, 5 to 7 days apart, eating right and staying active, floats included.

Six months later, with only walking for exercise, it has held. The cold sped it up. The habits are what kept it.

No charge, no obligation. We go through your goals, what you'll need to do on your end, and whether the full program, Lite, or neither is right for you. Text or call, use the chat, or ask in person.

Cryo facial · 45 minutes

Firmer, brighter skin without a needle.

Controlled cold air over the face, neck, and chest briefly tightens the skin and blood vessels, then floods the area with fresh, oxygen-rich blood as your skin warms back up. Tone, color, and glow improve right away.

The cold also stimulates collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm and elastic. Over the days and weeks after each session, clients notice tighter skin, less puffiness, and softer fine lines. We finish with a retinol, bee venom, and collagen shot to lock in the response.

No redness, peeling, or irritation afterward, so it works before a wedding, a shoot, or a regular Thursday. A single session lasts a few weeks. A series of eight, 5 to 7 days apart, builds on itself and can hold for a year or more.

Pricing
