Localized Cryotherapy can also provide relief in some back, neck, and knee conditions including post-operative recovery.
For maximum benefit, it is strongly recommended to combine your local cryotherapy with a prior Whole Body Cryotherapy session.
Localized cryotherapy
Localalized cryotherapy is a targeted cold therapy treatment to help with pain relief and support recovery from sports and lifestyle injuries as well as post-op rehabilitation. Treatments are non-invasive and can be regularly used to treat both acute and chronic injuries of soft tissue to help reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling.
At Cryo 345 we use a handheld electric appliance, which blasts out cold air (with different strengths of airflow). Temperatures are set to -40°C (which is much colder than your average ice pack) and applied for up to 10-minutes. This triggers an anti-inflammatory response and helps to ease pain.
The localized cryotherapy treatment causes an immediate rush of oxygenated blood, which has a natural analgesic effect and provides a reduction in muscle tension to the injured area.
Post-treatment, the circulation of blood in the target area naturally increases the rate of healing and recovery to the injured areas of the tissue. Additionally, the natural analgesic effect provided by each treatment, and the subsequent relaxation of muscles, allows the individual to gradually increase their exercise tolerance, strengthening muscles and joints and reducing the risk of similar injuries in the future.

There are a multitude of medically recognized conditions and injuries that can benefit from local cryotherapy, including, but not limited to: sprains, strains, and many types of sports injuries eg.
- Tennis elbow
- Golfers elbow
- Tendonitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Achilles tendonitis
