The cold truth: the role of cryotherapy in the treatment of injury and recovery from exercise



After you do exercise, cryotherapy is indicated when rapid recovery is required between exercise bouts, as opposed to after routine training.


Ultimately, the effectiveness of cryotherapy as a recovery modality is dependent upon its ability to maintain a reduction in muscle temperature and on the timing of treatment with respect to when the injury occurred, or the exercise ceased.


Therefore, to limit the proliferation of secondary tissue damage that occurs in the hours after an injury or a strenuous exercise bout, it is imperative that cryotherapy be applied in abundance within the first few hours of structural damage.
