Localized Cryotherapy

localized Cryotherapy

Localized Cryotherapy treatments are used to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling in targeted areas. It is most commonly used for isolated areas of swelling and inflammation from a variety of causes such as a tough workout which has resulted in pain and inflammation, an injury, or a post surgical condition.

This treatment is also paired well with our remedial massage and infrared saunas.

How does it work?

As soon as the cold source is removed, the body warms the area quickly by expanding the blood vessels to around 4 times their original diameter (vasodilation). A rush of freshly oxygenated blood saturates the tissue, bringing with it, hormones, neurotransmitters, and nutrients. At the same time, unwanted by-products and waste produced from natural body processes are removed from the area to be processed by the lymphatic system.

The effect is for the localised tissue to receive all it needs to rejuvenate and restore its optimal functions:

  • Injured muscle tissue is relieved of inflammation (at the optimum time as some inflammation is useful in the healing process) and fed with all the goodness and nutrients they need to recover faster

  • Ageing and thinning skin is able to repair the basal cell layer to restore the supply of collagen, elastin and hydration to regain a smoother, tighter appearance

  • Fat tissue breaks down and is eliminated from the body, while other surrounding tissues are not damaged.
