Cryotherapy, which literally means “cold therapy,” is a technique where the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes. Cryotherapy can be delivered to just one area, or you can opt for whole-body cryotherapy.
All forms of cryotherapy treatments work on the same principle of reducing the surface temperature of the skin in order to stimulate various wellness benefits.
Cryotherapy was first developed in 1978 in Japan as a tool to treat patients who struggled with pain and inflammation associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It quickly spread to Europe where it was extensively studied and adopted as a useful treatment method in hospitals, spas, and athletic facilities. It has been proven to effectively speed recovery from strenuous activity, increase athletic performance, and treat a variety of chronic physical conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, Autoimmune Disorders, Anxiety & Depression.
