Cryotherapy is a treatment that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period. This can be done using localized methods, like ice packs or cold sprays, or through whole-body cryotherapy chambers that envelop the entire body in cold air. The goal is to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote recovery. During a cryotherapy session, the body experiences a drop in temperature, which can help numb pain and reduce swelling. Many athletes use cryotherapy to speed up recovery after intense workouts, while others seek it for potential benefits like improved mood and increased energy levels.
