Localized cryotherapy is a very short blast of cold air between -35 to -40 degrees. It is a local treatment for a specific area of the body which is suffering from injury or pain.

What happens physiologically in the body during the treatment?
Physiologically, when the body is subjected to temperatures this low your body is going through a state of “Thermo-shock”. The brain reacts by sending fresh blood to the area at a quicker rate, this is why the area will look very red after the treatment. This blood is full of fresh nutrients that will help to decrease inflammation and speed up healing. The cold will also help bring out any bruising quickly, further speeding up recovery.
