Benefits of Cryotherapy
The benefits of using cryotherapy for sports are wide and becoming well known across the sports medicine world as more and more clients have access to a CryoAction cryotherapy chamber. There is a wealth of information available in various scientific papers available on our Research page.

Pain Relief
The application of cryotherapy slows down the activity in the nervous system, creating a numbing sensation and dampening down the pain receptors. All this without the need for over-the-counter medicines with the potential for containing banned substances.
Reduces inflammation
Cryotherapy is known to have a positive effect on reducing inflammation, the cold temperature slowing down the body’s metabolism at a cellular level, Enabling the body to heal faster. It is widely known that excess inflammation can impede the healing process and also deters physiotherapists, massage therapists etc. from working on the effected areas.. Slowing the cellular metabolism also inhibits cellular damage with the result that the need for repair is reduced.
Reduces muscle damage
Studies have shown that cryotherapy reduces the muscular damage caused by stressing the muscle fibres. Even a short term exposure to cold air inside a cryotherapy chamber has been found to enhance muscle fibre repair, limiting the damage at a cellular level and providing a degree of protection from damage in the near term. A major factor in these effects results from the anti-oxidisation experience in a cryotherapy treatment. The net effect being a significant decrease in total serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations leading to a rapid recovery from muscle damage.
