How Does it Work?

Following soft tissue injury cold or cryotherapy can be used to vaso-constrict local blood vessels . Short periods of cold applied immediately after injury restrict local blood supply and this limits bleeding and thus subsequent swelling or oedema. Cooling also reduces the metabolic demand of surrounding tissues so they become less likely to suffer injury due to interruption of their normal blood supply during the injury.

In sub acute injury both cold and heat can be used to promote blood flow to an injured area to induce relaxation of local muscles that may be in spasm. Increased blood flow also brings in the oxygen and nutrients required for optimal healing and repair.
