Therabody expands its recovery lineup with the CryoTherm Palm, a handheld device that alternates between cold, heat and contrast therapy. Users rest their palms on opposite ends for one‑to‑three‑minute daily sessions between sets. The unit offers three intensity levels for each temperature mode and includes a built‑in stopwatch, drawing power for up to two hours.

Therabody cites a trial with University of Southern California soccer players, where participants completed 58 percent more repetitions in their final set when using the CryoTherm Palm during breaks. The company claims the cooling effect delays fatigue and preserves grip strength, positioning the gadget as an athlete performance aid rather than a novelty. Pricing places it at $399.99, a steep tag for a peripheral device.

The CryoTherm Palm follows Therabody’s recent foray into targeted recovery tools, including the LED‑based TheraFace Mask Glo launched last year. While the device’s multifunctional temperature control may appeal to serious athletes, consumers must weigh the marginal gains against a price that rivals the brand’s flagship massage guns. Ultimately, the Palm adds a significant niche option to an already crowded wellness market.
