Therabody's CryoTherm Palm Cools You Down So You Don't Slow Down

June 17, 2026

Heat is the hidden performance killer.

What Is the CryoTherm Palm?

The CryoTherm Palm is a cordless, handheld palm cooling device just launched from Therabody. It uses Cryothermal technology to cool both palms between efforts — reducing core body temperature mid-session to delay fatigue and sustain output across sets, sprints and plays.

It's built for athletes who train hard and expect their performance to hold up under pressure.

Why Palm Cooling Actually Works

Your palms are one of the body's most efficient heat exchange points. Cool them, and you cool the blood circulating to the rest of your body. Unlike ice packs or cold towels that lose their chill in minutes, CryoTherm Palm maintains science-backed temperatures throughout your entire session.

The result: every effort feels easier, and you can push further before fatigue sets in.

What the Data Says

Therabody partnered with IMG Academy to test CryoTherm Palm in real athletic conditions. The numbers speak for themselves:

  • 60% cooler — athletes felt significantly less heat strain across repeated sprint efforts
  • 4.7% better sprint velocity maintained across all-out efforts
  • 58% more reps completed in the final set when fatigue typically sets in
  • 28% more total work volume over the entire session
  • 2.45% increase in top speed during repeated all-out efforts

Four Modes, One Device

Cold Therapy — cools both palms between efforts to delay fatigue and preserve grip strength.

Heat Therapy — warms hands during cold-weather sessions, keeping them nimble and ready to play.

Contrast Therapy — cold on one side, heat on the other. On-demand contrast therapy for in-game muscle recovery.

Built-in Stopwatch — tracks the research-backed 1–3 minute therapeutic cooling window between sets. No phone needed.

Built for the Sideline, the Gym Bag and the Field

Cordless and lightweight with an anti-roll design, CryoTherm Palm goes from training camp to away game without friction. No frozen packs. No tangled cords. Just pick it up and go.
