About AIR Cryotherapy
WHERE EXPERIENCE MEETS INNOVATION
AIR Cryotherapy was built on personal experience and professional expertise — not just textbooks.
Our founder, Patrick Smith, is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (BCHHP) and Naturopathic Doctor with over 20 years immersed in sports at the highest levels — from the training rooms to the sidelines to the practitioner's chair. As a former three-sport athlete whose career was cut short by injury, Patrick has experienced the healthcare system from every angle and understands what it takes to prepare, protect, and optimize premier athletes.
That personal experience became the foundation for AIR Cryotherapy — a recovery center built on the belief that no athlete's potential should be limited by preventable injuries or inadequate recovery. Today, Patrick works with athletes at every level — youth, high school, collegiate, professional, and everyone in between — plus wellness seekers across Metro Detroit.
Beyond AIR Cryotherapy, Patrick founded Sovereign Health MI — a naturopathic wellness practice providing holistic health solutions, leads the APEX Elite athlete development program alongside two other elite specialists, and created RECOVER THE DREAM — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing professional-grade recovery services to youth athletes from low-income families.
