ARTICLE . 03.19.2012. ARIZONA REPUBLIC . SUNS INVEST INVEST IN CRYOCHAMBER, REAP MUSCLE RECOVERY BENEFITS

  • Suns players are stepping into a nitrogen gas cylindrical chamber that accelerates and intensifies a process previously left to 12 minutes in an ice bath. The Suns still use ice baths but now have a mechanism that requires only three minutes of a dry freeze. Marcin Gortat compares it to walking outside in Poland in the winter. Paul Coro . Arizona Republic
  • Bursts of gas blow from the interior sides of the unit to surround the player's body, starting out at minus-166 degrees and quickly cooling to between minus-256 and minus-274. Paul Coro . Arizona Republic
  • "We use it for muscle recovery to pump the blood through the body," Nelson said. "We're trying to re-energize or reboot the body. It gives you a feeling of being cold and jump-starts your metabolism to feel refreshed the rest of the day." Paul Coro . Arizona Republic
