The use of low temperatures causes the reduction of edema and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as the reduction of the pain stimuli the perception of pain. Studies have also shown that the use of cryostimulation increases the flexibility of muscle fibers and tensile strength.

Cryotherapy treatments reduce the feeling of tension, bring the patient into a state of relaxation and overall well-being. This is because of the release of endorphins during a cryotherapeutic session. Studies show that cryotherapy has a beneficial effect in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders.

The mechanism of therapeutic effect in cryotherapy is associated with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The analgesic effect of cryotherapy is a consequence of the release of conduction in peripheral nerves, increased production of endogenous opioids and activation of the descending antinociceptive (analgesic) system. In contrast, the inhibition of neuromuscular transmission leads to a reduction in muscle tone and has an anti-contraction effect. The consequence of this is the interruption of the so-called vicious circle of pain.

During the cryotherapeutic treatment, in the first phase of low temperatures, there is a reduction in local metabolism, and its increase in the core part also increases the blood pressure. There is a decrease in the release of mediators of pain and inflammation, decreased nerve conduction and increased skeletal muscle tone. After a dozen or so seconds, a second phase occurs, in which the blood vessels expand. Pale skin becomes pink, muscles relax, blood pressure also decreases. Regular use of cryotherapy treatments brings visible analgesic, anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory effects.

The use of cryotherapy, through the antioxidant effect, delays the aging process, improves the skin tone, and also gives the effect of firming, reduction of cellulite and fat, and strengthening the structure of the surface blood vessels. Cryotherapy is also one of the methods of biological regeneration.

Cryotherapy is a valuable assistive method in sports medicine and very useful in the process of biological regeneration. It counteracts the negative effects of training overloads, supports the treatment of sports injuries and prepares the body for greater loads. It promotes achieving better sports results, enabling the implementation of full training cycles

The effect of the systemic cryotherapy is to accelerate metabolic processes in the body, noticeable up to 12 hours after the procedure. As a response to extremely low temperatures, the body emits energy to restore the temperature to its natural value. Thanks to this, additional calories are burned - studies suggest that during a single session you can burn up to 800 kcal. Regular use of cryotherapy can lead to long-term acceleration of metabolism and thus weight loss.
