Also called Cryotherapy, Cold Therapy, is a healing technique that exposes the body to extremely cold temperatures, helping the 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 an exceptional cure when it comes to lessening inflammation, swelling and nerve activity, which in turn relieves pain around muscles, joints and tendons.
Benefits:
- It aids recovery from surgery, in terms of reducing the pain by controlling swelling and inflammation in the affected area
- It soothes the injured muscles, joints and tissues, while also speeding up the healing time.
- It helps recharge the muscles after workout by ensuring that the muscles repair themselves, hence, preparing them for the next training session
- It also provides relief from headaches and migraine pains as well as dermatitis, other skin conditions, nerve irritations and mood disorders
- Helps in regulating blood pressure
