The Yard @ Superior Sauna & Steam - is a cryotherapy provider actively listed in Minneapolis, United States, tracked from public business sources. Whole-body cryotherapy exposes the body to temperatures around -110°C to -140°C for 2-3 minutes and is marketed for recovery, inflammation, and general wellness. Evidence is mixed: there is moderate support for muscle recovery in athletes (indexed in PubMed), and weak-to-no support for most chronic-condition claims. Cryotherapy is a wellness service, not a medical treatment, and is largely unregulated. Public reviews aggregate 4.9★ across 29 ratings, a moderate but consistent signal. Before booking, confirm: (1) operators are trained by the equipment manufacturer AND hold current First Aid and CPR certifications; (2) there is a written medical screening protocol; (3) the chamber has appropriate regional safety certification. Cryotherapy is contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension, recent venous thrombosis, pregnancy, cold-induced disorders (Raynaud's, cold urticaria), and untreated cardiopulmonary disease. The procedure carries rare but documented risks of frostbite and syncope.

Cold as care is nothing new: Hippocrates already wrote, in antiquity, about the use of ice and snow.
1978-1980, Japan: Prof. Toshima Yamauchi (Nara Medical University) builds the world's first cryo chamber, a room chilled to around −110°C, the birth of whole-body cryotherapy.
“Wellness” cold also has a long Nordic tradition: in Finland, avantouinti, bathing in a hole cut in the ice, practised since the 17th century and paired with the sauna, is part of the culture, with national championships since 1989.
There's a difference between the “cryosauna” (one person, nitrogen-cooled, head in open air) and the electric “whole-body” chamber you walk into.
In sport: as early as 2011, the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks used cryo; 15+ NFL franchises have since adopted it. The science, though, remains split on its effects.
A session typically lasts 1.5 to 3 minutes, in a chamber chilled between −100°C and −160°C.
His starting question was simple: if a local cold compress relieves, why not cool the whole body?
Cold-as-care spans civilisations: the Egyptians used it around 2500 BC, and Roman baths ended in the “frigidarium”, the cold plunge, the Baths of Caracalla held 1,600 bathers at once.
In the 1990s, Professor Baranov developed the first “cryosauna” in Russia, building on Yamauchi's work: the lineage runs from Japan to Russia, then to Europe.
