Theformer child star also credits cryotherapy, a medical treatment that uses freezing temperatures, for helping her manage the pain fromthe chikungunya virus, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause long-termjoint pain. “It’samazing. The virus I had attacks your joints, and cryotherapy really helps,"notes Lindsay. "When I was doing community service in New York from 8 a.m.to 8:30 p.m., I was having it once a day. It helps you sleep better and affects yourfunctioning, too. I like to be active all day; I love to cycle and walk. I justhad some sessions in Monaco, and I’m trying topersuade [manufacturer] Zimmer Icelab to bring cryotherapy to London as thereisn’tone here yet.”
