Across the past decade, Cryostimulation has been used in physical therapy clinics, private hospitals, military hospitals and elite sports teams to treat post acute injury, chronic injury and support more efficient and effective rehabilitation programs. Below are the 3 forms of Cryostimulation:

Cold applications are usually applied after clotting has occurred and so have no effect on haemorrhaging. Cold can prevent edema from occurring if applied soon after the injury but once edema has developed cold applications cannot reverse it. Cold diminishes secondary hypoxic injury, so there is less free protein in the tissues and less tissue […]

Ice applications lower metabolism in injured tissue, which decreases the need for oxygen. This inhibits secondary hypoxic injury in cells within the injured tissue. The total amount of injured tissue is decreased. Non compliance with using cold therapy can complicate the injury and result in delays of 1 – 3 weeks in resolving the injury. […]
