Also known as cryotherapy or cold therapy, this healing technique exposes the body to extremely cold temperatures, helping muscles recover after strenuous activity, injuries, or surgical procedures. By reducing blood flow to a targeted area for a short period of time, the therapy is highly effective in reducing inflammation, swelling, and nerve activity, which in turn relieves pain in muscles, joints, and tendons.
