Cryotherapy
for Sports Injury

Post Injury/ Wear & Tear Repair
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of Cryotherapy can drastically improve joint disorders such as Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis. As discussed in the Sports and Exercise recovery section.
Together with inflammation, oxidative stress is a major factor in wear and tear on joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments etc, as well as the ageing of our bodies.
Oxidative stress relates to the imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in our bodies, which ultimately leads to tissue damage. It is a natural process, but we can gain some control over it and attempt to slow down the internal and external ageing process.
Studies have shown that Full body Cryotherapy can increase the presence of antioxidants, which helps to decrease oxidative stress. This was mirrored in a reduction of the key markers of oxidative stress. When coupled with exercise, treatments sessions can also amplify an increase in antioxidant levels, when compared to exercise alone
