Move freely again — natural support for stiff, aching joints
Joint pain and arthritis affect over 58 million adults in the United States, making it one of the most widespread chronic conditions. Whether you're dealing with osteoarthritis from years of wear and tear, rheumatoid arthritis from an autoimmune response, or general joint stiffness that worsens with weather changes, the impact on daily life can be significant. Many people with joint pain are seeking complementary approaches that help manage symptoms and maintain mobility without increasing their medication load.
Joint pain and arthritis are most common in adults over 50, but can affect younger people — especially athletes, manual laborers, and those with autoimmune conditions. In Utah County, the active outdoor lifestyle (skiing, trail running, rock climbing) combined with altitude and dry climate means joint issues are particularly prevalent among both young and older residents.
At Deliberate Wellness Studio, we offer several modalities that research suggests may help support joint health and manage arthritis symptoms. Cryotherapy was originally developed specifically for rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Japan, and many of our other services — including infrared sauna, red light therapy, and compression therapy — are used by clients seeking joint comfort and recovery support.
Each of these services at Deliberate Wellness Studio in Vineyard, UT addresses joint pain & arthritis support from a different angle. Many clients find that combining multiple modalities provides the most comprehensive support.
Cryotherapy was originally invented to help manage rheumatoid arthritis. The extreme cold may help address joint inflammation and trigger natural pain-relieving endorphins.
Studies on infrared sauna use in arthritis patients have shown short-term improvements in pain and stiffness. The deep heat may help improve joint mobility.
Red and near-infrared light wavelengths are being studied for their potential to may help address joint inflammation and support cartilage health at the cellular level.
Targeted cold therapy applied directly to affected joints for about 20 minutes may provide focused inflammation reduction and comfort and recovery support.
Sequential pneumatic compression may help reduce joint swelling, improve circulation around affected joints, and support mobility.
For joint pain and arthritis support, many Vineyard clients follow a protocol of whole-body cryotherapy (3 minutes) to may help address systemic inflammation, followed by compression therapy (30 minutes) to address swelling in specific joints, and finishing with red light therapy (15 minutes) to support cellular support. On alternate visits, they may swap cryotherapy for infrared sauna when stiffness is the primary concern.

Whole-body cryotherapy uses dry cold air (-130°F to -160°F wind chill) for 2-3 minutes, while ice baths (cold plunges) submerge you in 38-50°F water for 2-10 minutes. Cryotherapy is faster, less mentally challenging, and provides uniform cooling. Ice baths offer deeper tissue penetration through water's superior thermal conductivity. Both effectively reduce inflammation and support recovery — cryotherapy is better for convenience and consistency, while cold plunge builds cold tolerance and provides water-based benefits.

Infrared saunas use light waves to heat your body directly at 120–150°F, while traditional saunas heat the air around you to 180–200°F. Infrared is gentler, allows longer sessions, and penetrates deeper into tissue. Traditional saunas provide more intense heat exposure and cardiovascular stress similar to moderate exercise. Both support recovery, relaxation, and overall wellness — the best choice depends on your comfort preference and goals.

Cold plunge (cold water immersion at 38-50°F for 2-10 minutes) offers science-backed benefits including reduced inflammation, improved mood through norepinephrine release, better sleep quality, enhanced immune function, improved insulin sensitivity, and faster exercise recovery. A 2025 systematic review of 3,177 participants found cold water immersion reduces stress, boosts immunity, improves sleep quality, and enhances overall well-being. Benefits increase with consistency — 3-4 sessions per week is optimal for most people.
