Cryo-Medical Pain & Inflammation Many people suffer from acute and chronic injuries that affect their soft tissues, cryotherapy is a popular pain treatment technique in the world of medicine. It is safe and natural pain therapy that can be customized to your needs, goals, and pain issues. Applying Cryotherapy to an isolated body part, the body is able to deliver all the healing proteins, oxygen, osteoblasts and many more healing functions needed to repair damage. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of cryotherapy can drastically improve joint disorders such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. All joints move more fluidly, they feel strong, and full of energy; this initial positive effect may last up to eight hours. But the release of endorphins can have a lasting effect, where the pain and signs of inflammation as found in blood tests remain suppressed for weeks. The relief from pain and inflammation can both be seen and felt immediately. The more treatments you have the longer the results can be seen as the body starts to create the pattern of delivering the healing elements and the lymphatic system drains away the damaged tissues built up toxins and inflammation Cryo-Medical for Sports Injuries Cryotherapy works in a variety of ways to help speed the healing process after a sports injury:Reduces blood flow to the injured area, which helps to reduce swelling;Acts as a pain-killer by numbing the affected area;Reduces muscle spasms; Decreases tissue damage by reducing metabolism, thus lessening the tissues’ need for oxygen and limiting secondary tissue injury caused by compromised circulation.

Swedish Massage A massage technique that includes effleurage, pétrissage, friction, vibration, and tapotement. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. It is used especially for relaxation, relief of muscular tension, and improvement of circulation and range of motion.

The clinically proven beneficial effects of CRYO-Stimulation shows it there to be four times better lymph and blood micro-circulation, oxygenation and nourishment of the skin and subdermic tissues. The treatment causes increased blood flow creating favourable conditions for cell renewal, expelling toxins and internal organ regeneration e.g.; body rejuvenation on the cellular level. Additional benefits are in the reduction of cellulite, an increase in the metabolic rate which burns 500-800 Kcal's helping in weight loss (the more treatments you have the longer your metabolic rate stays at the higher rate). The ‘fight or flight’ response is activated giving an increase of endorphins levels and energy. When cooled fat cells crystallise and rupture and as a result no longer function in their usual way, and breakdown and are flushed out through lymphatic drainage. As the body has a pre set amount of fat cells from birth these fat cells will not be reproduced making this treatment is a permanent one. Provided you maintain a healthy diet. As with all Cryotherapy treatments, multiple applications provide better results, as biological reactions are accumulative and become the body’s normal way of showing longer lasting effects.
