Jason Kidd has been utilizing cryotherapy to recover from a strained right calf.

"I think cryotherapy is excellent for anybody and not just athletes," Kidd said. "I did buy into it at the end of last season. It came April and [head athletic trainer Casey Smith] asked me to try it out and I felt great throughout the playoff run. I thought, hey, this could be something that could help me throughout my career.”

Exposure to extreme cold has similar effects to that of an ice bath.

“It’s not as bad as getting in a cold tub,” Kidd said. “It takes you at least 3-4 minutes to get into the cold tub. This is a process that you step in the tub and you’re in there for about 2-3 minutes and you’re out and you feel great.

“The big thing is that it is going to be in every locker room and probably on every campus because of what it does to the body and how you feel and the success rate it’s had so far."
