LOCAL CRYOTHERAPY<\/h1>

What is local cryotherapy?<\/h2>

Unlike whole body cryotherapy, local cryotherapy allows you to focus on and work on one specific area of the body.<\/p>

We perform this service with a hand-held device.<\/p>

We use a patented solution that is unique in Estonia, which allows the cold to penetrate deep into the tissue layers.\u00a0<\/p>

Who is local cold treatment for?<\/h2>

Our clients are both professional and amateur athletes, as well as ordinary people who want to accelerate the recovery of a single body area and improve their mobility and general well-being.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How does local cryotherapy work?<\/h2>

Short-term exposure of a certain area of the body to severe cold causes the blood vessels to narrow first and then to dilate.<\/p>

The process improves the blood supply and “directs” healing enzymes and “life-supporting” hormones to the problem area of the body.<\/p>

The thermal shock of the cells triggers an emergency response in the body. As a result of the body’s reactions, inflammation is reduced, pain and muscle tension are relieved, and collagen production is accelerated.<\/p>

Thermal shock helps to remove anything that is not part of the skin tissue, be it an infection or a disorder caused by toxins, bacteria, virus or fungi.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why do athletes use local cryotherapy?<\/h2>

For athletes, the goal of therapy is to fight inflammation, reduce swelling and pain, accelerate recovery from injuries, and speed up their return to training and competition.<\/p>

Although there are other ways to help achieve these goals (physiotherapy, massages, etc.), this method stimulates the body in a way that remains inaccessible with more traditional methods.<\/p>

Many people combine cold therapy with other recovery activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
