Localised cryotherapy
Cryo-Med team are able to provide treatments of local cryotherapy to particular areas of the body.
Localised cryotherapy is used to treat many conditions and speeds up the recovery and healing process.
Cryotherapy treatments
We offer cryotherapy treatments to help with pain relief and support recovery from sport related injuries as well as chronic and acute conditions.
Using low temperatures of -90 degrees C during the treatment we are able to target painful areas of the body to reduce swelling and inflammation, and effectively to reduce or eliminate the pain.
The procedure
A qualified therapist will discuss the treatment and explain the whole procedure.
Using localised cryotherapy device they will apply cold air to targeted area(s) which will then motivate the brain to reactivate natural bodily defence mechanisms. Lowering the temperature of treated area will also trigger body's anti-inflammatory responses. Although the treatment may only lasts a few minutes, it may take up to 4 hours for the body to 're-heat' the area, constantly flushing it with fresh blood and cells.
The procedure is pain free, non-invasive so after the treatment you can continue with your regular activities.
Sport Injuries
Cryotherapy is one of the most effective intervensions for pain management and swelling in acute sport injuries. Using low temperatures activates the body's defence mechanism which will relieve muscle pain (natural analgesia) and therefore enhance recovery times.
Incorporating cryotherapy into a regular training routine will help to repair any damage to soft tissues and muscles and most importantly will allow you to continue your training or help you recover faster.
