Science-backed benefits

Athletes felt 60% cooler and significantly less strain from heat across repeated sprint efforts 1

4.7% better sprint velocity maintained across repeated all-out efforts 1

58% more reps in the final set when fatigue typically sets in 2

28% more total work volume over the entire session 2

Push past fatigue. Perform at your peak.

Cold Therapy

Cryothermal technology cools both palms between efforts to delay fatigue, preserve grip strength and sustain output when it matters most.

Heat Therapy

Heat warms your hands on the sidelines or between cold-weather sessions, keeping them nimble and ready when it’s time to play.

Contrast Therapy

Cold on one side, heat on the other — flip the device for on-demand contrast therapy that treats sore muscles in the moment to support in-game recovery.

Built-in Stopwatch

The stopwatch tracks the research-backed 1–3 minute therapeutic cooling time during rest intervals and between sets — no need to check your phone.

Explore the scientific study behind CryoTherm Palm

Why palm cooling matters to athletes

CryoTherm Palm delivers dual-sided cooling to your palms, one of the body's most efficient heat exchange points. Cool them, and you cool the blood circulating to the rest of your body. While ice and cold towels lose their chill in minutes, Cryothermal technology maintains science-backed temperatures throughout your session — so every effort feels easier and you can push through more before fatigue sets in.

More output. Less burnout.

Real gains come when each effort starts from a reset baseline. Therabody partnered with University of Southern California to validate CryoTherm Palm in soccer players. When using CryoTherm Palm, athletes performed 58% more reps in their final set² when fatigue typically sets in. Use between sets, sprints, treadmill or bike intervals to reduce thermal strain and perceived effort, so your last effort hits as hard as your first.

Games are won by the team that doesn't fade in the second half

Core temperature rises as a match progresses — and with it, speed, power and decision-making decline. Therabody partnered with IMG Academy to put CryoTherm Palm to the test. When using CryoTherm Palm, athletes increased their top speed by 2.45% during repeated all-out efforts¹. Palm cooling during halftime, timeouts and water breaks helps reset the thermal load. That's how your 80th minute feels like your first.

Stay cool wherever you train or compete

CryoTherm Palm goes wherever you do, from training camps to away games. Its anti-roll design stays secure on the sidelines, and the lightweight, cordless build fits easily into any gym bag. While others depend on frozen packs, ice baths or tangled power cords, CryoTherm Palm is ready the moment you are — between sets, on the field and in the locker room.

What the experts say

CryoTherm Palm is trusted by practitioners and sports scientists to help athletes push past fatigue, maintain output and perform at peak when it matters most.

Dr. Robin Thorpe, PhD, Therabody Scientific Advisory Board Member
Short recovery windows are often where thermal strain continues to build despite the athlete briefly stopping exercise. Applying cooling during these periods may help athletes better manage heat load without disrupting preparation or training flow. 
Dr. Rachelle Reed, PhD, MS, ACSM-EP, Head of Science Research and Communication
Scientific validation is how we earn trust. Testing CryoTherm Palm in resistance training and repeated sprint protocols gives us the evidence to confidently say this technology delivers when it matters most.
Dr. Jason Wersland, Founder and Chief Wellness Officer
In my work with athletes, I’ve consistently seen palm cooling help people push harder, recover faster between efforts, and feel less exhausted during training. CryoTherm Palm gives athletes a simple way to manage heat and stress in real time — helping them stay stronger and perform at a higher level through their toughest sessions.

Precautions and Contraindications

¹Results from a randomized crossover study conducted at IMG Academy in collaboration with University of Florida involving elite male soccer players (n = 22; ages 17–19) performing 2 sets of 6 repeated sprints, with a single 2.5-minute CryoTherm Palm application between sets. Results compare intervention to control conditions and may not reflect outcomes in other training contexts, athlete levels, age groups, or populations. Learn more here.

²Results from a randomized crossover study conducted with University of Southern California involving D1 collegiate athletes (n = 21) performing 4 sets of overhead presses to failure at 85% 1RM, with a single inter-set CryoTherm Palm application between sets.

FAQs

What is palm cooling?

Palm cooling is a targeted method of regulating body temperature by applying controlled cooling to the palms of the hands. The palms contain specialized blood vessels called arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs) that allow large volumes of blood to flow close to the surface of the skin. Because of this, the palms are one of the body's most efficient heat exchange points. When you cool the palms, you're effectively cooling circulating blood — which has downstream effects on core temperature, performance, fatigue, and perceived effort.

How is CryoTherm Palm different from ice, gel packs, or water-based cooling?

Ice and gel packs lose temperature quickly, cannot maintain a consistent therapeutic range, and require freezing and setup. If a surface is too cold, it causes vasoconstriction — blood vessels narrow and heat exchange becomes less efficient. CryoThermal Technology reaches therapeutic temperature in seconds and maintains it for the full duration of treatment, with no ice, water, freezing, or external power required. It is portable, cordless, and ready to use anywhere.

How is CryoTherm Palm different from other palm cooling devices on the market?

CryoThermal Technology delivers scientifically calibrated temperatures that reach and maintain the therapeutic range in seconds. The device is portable and cordless — no ice, water, freezing, or external power required.

When should I use palm cooling during training or competition?

Use palm cooling during natural rest periods — between sets while training, at halftime, during timeouts, water breaks, or changes of possession. For strength and hybrid training, use between sets or intervals to maintain strength, power, and movement quality deeper into the session. For intermittent sports (soccer, basketball, football), use during any break to sustain speed, power, and repeat-effort capacity in the later phases of the game. For endurance training, use during structured interval work to reduce thermal strain and sustain pace.

How long should I use it between sets or efforts?

Current research shows as little as 1 to 3 minutes during rest periods can be enough to meaningfully impact thermal strain and performance outcomes. For indoor training and strength & conditioning, use 1-3 minutes between sets or efforts. For outdoor training or game use, 3 minutes is recommended. During halftime or extended breaks, use for as long as possible.

Can my environment affect how the device performs?

The device is designed for both indoor and outdoor use in hot environments. For indoor use (or outdoor use in temperatures below 75°F), the device will cool quickly and perform optimally on the Level 2 cold setting. For outdoor use or in environments above 75°F, use the Level 3 setting for optimal temperature performance and allow additional time for the device to cool by turning it on approximately 2 minutes before use.
