The Cryotherm Palm can switch between cold, heat and contrast therapy.
Therabody is known for its massage guns that help with post-workout recovery, but its latest device gives you a little extra jolt during your workout. According to Therabody, the CryoTherm Palm cools your hands to relieve road fatigue and maintain grip strength. It’s fair to be skeptical of this $399.99 device, but Therabody said University of Southern California football players did 58 percent more reps in their final set in real-world testing with the CryoTherm Palm.
Even though it’s somewhat similar to the Shake Weight, you don’t hold the Cryotherm Palm in the middle. Instead you rest both of your palms on each end during breaks in training for one to three minutes at a time. You can choose between three levels for both cold and heat therapy, or contrast therapy where one side is hot and the other is cold. Therabody also includes a stopwatch function on the device, with a maximum battery life of 120 minutes.
In addition to its expensive massage guns, Therabody is also expanding into products that are designed for specific parts of your body. Last year, the company revealed its TheraFace Mask Glow to reduce facial wrinkles with LED technology. However, like the LED mask or its face massager, you’ll have to decide whether it’s worth spending hundreds of dollars.
