A Pioneer In Cryotheraphy

Nearly a decade ago, after recovering from a serious car accident and seeing firsthand the potential of cryotherapy, Pam Bradow left her dental hygiene career behind to bring something new to Fargo—cryotherapy. The result? Glacial Peak Cryotherapy, the area’s only business of its kind, offering proactive wellness support through cryotherapy, light therapy, and compression therapy.

Glacial Peak Cryotherapy doesn’t just treat athletes with injuries. They treat parents, students, retirees, and everyday folks looking for a smarter way to take care of their health.

More Than A Quick Fix

Let’s start with the science. Inflammation, while part of the body’s natural healing process, becomes harmful when it lingers. Chronic inflammation can contribute to everything from joint pain to fatigue to reduced immune function.

Whole-body cryotherapy, Glacial Peak’s cornerstone offering, tackles inflammation head-on by exposing the body to ultra-low temperatures in a specialized Cryo-Sauna for just two to three minutes. While the skin feels cold, your core temperature stays safe, and your body goes into “protect and repair” mode, pushing the blood to your vital organs.

Once the session ends, the nutrient-rich blood full of enzymes and oxygen gets pushed back to your extremities, where it boosts recovery, reduces pain, and promotes a general sense of energy and well-being. Think of it as vitamin C for inflammation, or as Pam puts it, “like a cup of coffee—but better for you.”

Cryotherapy has been shown to particularly helpful for:

Reducing joint and muscle pain
Boosting immune system response
Improving sleep quality
Enhancing mental clarity
Supporting faster injury recovery
Helping regulate hormones and mood

And while it’s popular among athletes—especially during football and basketball seasons—it’s not limited to them. Glacial Peak serves everyone from kids with growing pains to active teens to seniors with neuropathy. Some clients even bring their whole family, discovering the benefits of consistent cryo sessions for all ages.

Helping You Stay Active

While people often come to Glacial Peak after an injury, Pam wishes more would come before problems start. Think of these therapies like preventive maintenance for your body—just like stretching before a run or getting regular dental cleanings.

Clients who incorporate cryo and light sessions during their sports seasons often recover faster, avoid major injuries, and stay mentally sharper. Pam especially loves helping student-athletes stay in the game while also supporting their overworked parents with stress relief and energy boosts of their own.
