Cryotherapy

Cold therapy is an effective aspect of treatment for a variety of problems and afflictions. Whether you suffer from inflammation or simply would benefit from its pain-reducing:

• Recent injury
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Tendinitis or acute inflammation
• Muscle spasms
• Limited range of motion
• Localised pain
• Edematous conditions

If you’re seeking relief and a path to recovery, cryotherapy may be suggested by your physiotherapist. Cryotherapy uses ice and cold temperatures to lower the temperature of the skin and soft tissues, which then leads to decreased blood flow in the affected areas. The lack of blood flow provides the following benefits:

• Reduced swelling is one of the many benefits of reduced blood flow to a particular area. When blood flow is reduced, it can help to prevent and manage swelling. This is a valuable benefit for many people who suffer from conditions that cause swelling.
• Reduced inflammation is one of the many benefits of reduced circulation in the area. By decreasing circulation, inflammation is reduced, providing relief for those suffering from conditions like arthritis.
• Prevention of hypoxic damage is something that we take very seriously. Narrowing the blood vessels helps to reduce the need for oxygen in the tissues, which can help to prevent serious damage.

Cold treatment is an effective way to reduce blood flow and minimise damage to the surrounding tissues. It is also a useful technique for managing pain and providing relief to injured parts of the body. By applying cold to the affected area, you can help reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.
