Cryotherapy - Ortokinetic

Treatments

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy uses low temperatures, either generally or locally, for the human body.

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is useful for treating various joint or muscle injuries by:

  • Reducing the inflammatory process
  • Alleviating pain and spasms
  • Supporting cell survival
  • Reducing cellular metabolism
  • Promoting vasoconstriction

Cryotherapy Methods

Traditional Methods:

  • Cold Compresses – recommended for inflammatory or painful conditions.
  • Cold Packs – support healing of swelling, sprains, and injuries where ice packs are applied to the affected area for about 5 minutes.
  • Cold Water Bath – lasting between 10 and 30 seconds at a temperature below 20°C.
  • Cooling Sprays – provide an effect that helps relieve pain and inflammation by diffusing cold particles. This therapy is used for strains, dislocations, sprains, bruises, or sports injuries.
  • Ice Massage – using ice cubes for post-traumatic, rheumatic, inflammatory conditions, or muscle contractures, usually lasting 5-10 minutes.

Benefits of Cryotherapy

  • Improves Blood Circulation – Enhances blood flow, contributing to better overall health.
  • Boosts the Immune System – Stimulates blood circulation, which strengthens the immune system and balances hormonal imbalances.
  • Increases Energy and Strength – One of the most common effects, especially as the body enters an alert state with an improved immune response.
  • Reduces Fatigue – As more cryotherapy sessions accumulate, the feeling of fatigue decreases.
  • Aids in Recovery – Supports recovery for sports injuries, general muscle conditions, joint pain, and inflammation. It complements physical therapy by reducing pain and speeding up the recovery process.
  • Speeds Up Recovery Time – Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits.
  • Enhances Focus and Memory – Improves concentration and supports memory, especially beneficial in sports performance.
  • Combats Insomnia and Promotes Well-being – Improves immune health, blood flow, concentration, and sleep quality, leading to overall well-being. Cryotherapy also helps manage stress, muscle, and joint pain and is even used for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
