Cryotherapy is the application of extreme cold (-140 to -300 Degree’s Fahrenheit) to the body for 2-4 minutes, it’s an advanced form of Cold Therapy that was originally introduced to Help Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis & Scoliosis.
Cryotherapy is used to treat a variety of tissue damage, and is widely used to relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling for soft tissue damage and postoperative swelling.
It’s provided in over 50 European hospitals and medical clinics and it has now been used in many spas, and athletic training facilities as well.
Cryotherapy is also supported by the American Veterinary Medical Association, and is used to treat dogs, Horses, and other animals.

The History of Cryotherapy
Cold therapy is not a new invention; it is among man’s earliest medical treatments. The Edwin Smith Papyrus (3500 BC), the most ancient medical text, repeatedly mentioned cold therapy.
The original Cryotherapy Chamber was introduced in the 1970's in Asia, later migrated to Europe, and only recently made it to America, it's covered by insurance in most the world, America sadly is not one of those places yet

The chain reaction of events that’s set off in your body during a Cryotherapy session all starts with Hormones, like Norepinephrine, from there it triggers Vasoconstriction & Metabolic activity, and these two then help with oxygenation, nutrition, and so forth. The body is an interconnected system where one change often effects another.
So while all these Benefits do exist, they often fall from the same tree, for example Medical Recovery & athletic performance, the Benefits of one, are the same that would benefit the other.
Everyone is aware that icing a swollen joint, or sprained ankle, will help reduce the inflammation
What is less known and equally consistent is secretion of Norepinephrine, which is a “Fight or Flight” response Hormone.
Each time you enter the Cryochamber it Doubles, Triples, or even quintuples the amount present in your brain and body.
Why? Because your body must to survive each time.
Norepinephrine is hugly responsibly for activating your metabolic system (not directly but through UCP1) to keep you warm, as well as activating Vasoconstriction - the bodies act of pulling blood from extremities to the core in order to protect it.
Making it a Potent Anti-inflammatory.
and inflammation is also what causes pain - White blood cells will leak chemicals that cause area’s to be more sensitive to touch, this is because your body wants to deter you from using the injured area, preventing you from further injuring it.
Inflammation (from Latin inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from the original insult and the inflammatory process, and initiate tissue repair.
The classical signs of inflammation are heat, pain, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore it is considered as a mechanism of innate immunity, as compared to adaptive immunity, which is specific for each pathogen.[2] Too little inflammation could lead to progressive tissue destruction by the harmful stimulus (e.g. bacteria) and compromise the survival of the organism. In contrast, chronic inflammation may lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, periodontitis, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancer (e.g., gallbladder carcinoma). Inflammation is therefore normally closely regulated by the body.
This inflammation is necessary for muscle growth, because of this you should not do Cryotherapy within the first hour after working out
If you’re training on a daily basis, you’re likely over training, your muscles need 24-48 hours to repair before they’re ready again, if you use them again before this time, additional inflammation will occur, and it will destroy the muscle rather than build it.
