Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is considered one of the fittest athletes in the world. At 37 years of age, James is still producing at a very high level. Father time, though, is finally catching up to him. James has been cognizant of his age and the toll it takes on his body. Many of us are aware of NBA players taking ice baths after a game or workout. However, players are now turning to cryotherapy. Including 4x Championship winner, LeBron James. 

In whole-body cryotherapy, the participant stands in a chamber that is then filled with dry ice, dropping the temperatures down to -200 degrees Fahrenheit. 

LeBron James uses cryotherapy to stay in shape

James has been trying to peruse the benefits of whole-body cryotherapy(WBC). Hospitality entrepreneur Tim Grant is set to release his version of whole-body cryotherapy as soon as next year. Cryotherapy has a ton of positives to it. It reduces the time to recover from injury, decreases spasms, improves ranges of motion, and more.

This is ideal for NBA players since they often have to deal with sore muscles while playing an 82-game-long NBA season. The Dallas Mavericks gave props to cryotherapy for their 2011 NBA championship, since the team consisted of relatively older players.
