about cryotherapy

---

Localized cryotherapy is a therapeutic technique that involves exposing targeted areas of the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short duration using a controlled stream of liquid CO2.  

The application stimulates vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, two physiological processes that play crucial roles in the body’s healing mechanisms by promoting faster cell regeneration and enhancing circulation. When cryotherapy is applied to the targeted area the thermal shock causes blood vessels to constrict which can significantly reduce swelling and inflammation. This vasoconstriction can also temporarily numb nerve endings, providing immediate pain relief. The sudden drop in temperature triggers the release of endorphins, natural painkillers that can further alleviate discomfort. After constriction, the blood vessels will widen increasing blood flow to tissues. This phase is vital to aiding in the process of healing as it delivers fresh oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to the targeted area.  

In addition, this cold method can aid in the acceleration of post training and competition recovery. Together, the controlled alternation between vasoconstriction and vasodilation facilitates an optimal environment in the body. The increase in blood and the reduction of muscle soreness or stiffness.
