Cold therapy

Cold therapy (also called cryotherapy) involves exposing the body to cold temperatures to support recovery and reduce discomfort. Key benefits include: Reduced inflammation: Cold helps constrict blood vessels, which can lower swelling and irritation. Pain relief: It can numb sore areas, making it useful for injuries or muscle aches. Faster recovery: Often used after exercise to reduce muscle soreness and speed up healing. Improved circulation: Blood flow increases after the cold exposure ends, which may aid recovery. It’s simple, widely used (like ice packs or cold showers), and most effective when applied shortly after strain or activity.
