Cryotherapy is a recovery therapy that briefly exposes the body to very cold temperatures. It is commonly used to help manage inflammation, soreness and pain. At Moveology 605 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, cryotherapy is one of the recovery therapies your provider may recommend as part of your care.
During a session, the skin cools quickly while core body temperature stays stable. The body responds by narrowing and then widening blood vessels near the surface. This response is why cold therapy has long been used after exercise and injury. Research on cryotherapy is still developing, and results vary from person to person.
Cryotherapy is popular with athletes and active adults as part of a post-workout routine. Some people with joint pain or general soreness also use it to help them feel more comfortable. It is not a cure for any condition and is not right for everyone — people with certain heart, circulation or cold-sensitivity conditions may need to avoid it, which is why we review your health history first.
Sessions are short and need no special preparation, so most people return to their normal day right after. Your provider will explain how long your session lasts and whether cryotherapy fits your goals.
