Therabody’s new CryoTherm Palm brings hot and cold therapy into one compact recovery tool

Therabody is expanding its recovery lineup with the new CryoTherm Palm, a handheld cooling device designed to help athletes stay fresher during hard training sessions. Instead of using ice packs, cold towels, or sideline cooling tricks that warm up quickly, this one cools the palms between sets, sprints, and drills to help lower body temperature and delay fatigue.

The idea is simple: when your body heats up, performance usually drops with it. CryoTherm Palm is built to help with that by delivering controlled cooling through the palms, which the brand says are one of the body’s most effective heat exchange points. The result is a more portable recovery tool aimed at helping athletes hold onto speed, power, and output deeper into a workout.

How it works

CryoTherm Palm is made to be used during the natural breaks already built into training, like between lifting sets, during treadmill or bike intervals, or on the sideline during water breaks and halftime. You hold the device in your hands for a few minutes and choose between three different settings. Cold mode helps delay fatigue, heat mode keeps your hands nimble in cold weather, and a contrast setting puts heat on one side and cold on the other for targeted muscle recovery.

Your palms help regulate heat in your body, so Therabody says cooling them can help reduce thermal strain and make effort feel easier. In company-backed studies, the brand says athletes maintained better sprint speed across repeated efforts and got more reps in later sets, when fatigue would usually take over.

Where to get it

The CryoTherm Palm is now available at therabody.com. Each purchase includes a CryoTherm Palm device, Travel pouch, and USB-C to USB-C charging cable.
