How to use cryotherapy and thermotherapy to relieve inflammation and improve recovery

The combination of cryotherapy and thermotherapy is a powerful approach to treating muscle pain, reducing inflammation and speeding up recovery for athletes.

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy involves the targeted application of cold to reduce inflammation and pain associated with injury or intense muscle fatigue. It induces vasoconstriction, which helps to reduce swelling and rapidly relieve pain after exertion.

What is thermotherapy?

Thermotherapy, on the other hand, uses heat to relax muscles, improve blood circulation and promote healing. By increasing blood flow to treated areas, it accelerates tissue repair and helps reduce muscle tension.

How do these therapies complement each other?

Alternating between these two techniques maximizes their benefits. At the start of treatment, cryotherapy is often used to control inflammation after injury. Then, once inflammation is under control, thermotherapy is applied to relax muscles and stimulate recovery.
