Cryotherapy
In the realm of sports and athletics, the pursuit of optimal performance and swift recovery is a constant endeavour. Athletes, pro or not, push their bodies to the limit, seeking ways to recuperate faster and enhance their competitive edge. One innovative method gaining traction in sports recovery circles is our cryotherapy devices.
Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short duration. This therapeutic technique can reportedly help with reducing inflammation, alleviating muscle soreness, and expediting the recovery process following intense physical activity. Below you will learn more about the science behind CTN cryotherapy and its connection to faster sports recovery.
The CTN Cryotherapy involves immersing the body in a cryotherapy chamber or applying cold to specific areas using our localised cryotherapy devices. The temperatures utilised during cryotherapy sessions can range from -100°C to -160°C (-148°F to -256°F), creating an environment of intense cold.
The body’s response to extreme cold triggers several physiological reactions. Blood vessels constrict in response to the cold, a process known as vasoconstriction, which helps to reduce inflammation and swelling in injured or stressed tissues. Additionally, the sudden drop in temperature prompts the release of endorphins, which can alleviate pain and promote a sense of well-being.

Faster Healing of Injuries
Athletes frequently contend with injuries ranging from strains and sprains to more severe trauma. Cryotherapy's anti-inflammatory properties can aid in the healing process by minimising swelling and promoting tissue repair.
Improved Performance
Athletes and sports professionals are increasingly integrating CTN cryotherapy into their recovery protocols. Sessions typically last for a few minutes, during which individuals are exposed to subzero temperatures. Cryotherapy can be utilised alongside other recovery modalities such as massage therapy, compression garments, and proper nutrition to maximise its benefits.
However, it’s essential to approach cryotherapy with caution and under the guidance of trained professionals. While generally considered safe, cryotherapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or sensitivities to cold temperatures.
CTN Cryotherapy represents a promising avenue for enhancing sports recovery and optimising athletic performance. Our CTN devices ability to reduce inflammation, alleviate muscle soreness, and promote faster healing makes it a valuable tool in the arsenal of athletes and sports professionals worldwide.
Our research continues to explore the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy, and our role in sports recovery will evolve and expand.
