Cryotherapy: What it is, what it is used for, and whether it is suitable for you
What is cryotherapy and what is it used for?
Whole-body cryotherapy is a medical-therapeutic treatment that uses extremely low temperatures —around -110 °C— to activate physiological responses in the body. Backed by scientific studies and widely used in clinical and sports settings, this technique has proven effective in treating musculoskeletal pain, chronic inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune disorders, as well as accelerating physical recovery and improving sleep quality.
During a whole-body cryotherapy session, the patient is exposed to cold in a specialized chamber for 2 to 3 minutes. This thermal shock triggers a series of beneficial reactions in the body:
- Activation of blood circulation
- Release of endorphins and reduction of pain
- Modulation of the immune system
- Systemic anti-inflammatory effect
