Description

The term "Cryotherapy" is a combination of the Greek word "cryo," meaning "cold," and "therapy," meaning "treatment." This method involves deliberately lowering the body temperature to approximately -130°C or below in extreme cold conditions. The body responds to this by activating its metabolism and self-healing abilities. History The history of cryotherapy dates back to 1978 when Dr. Toshio Yamaguchi, a Japanese medical doctor, first used cold to relieve the pain of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This method spread to the United States, Australia, and Europe in the 2000s. Research showed that cold therapy is more effective than heat therapy for muscle pain relief, making cryotherapy popular as a recovery method for athletes. Since 2018, it has been introduced to professional sports teams, schools, fitness facilities, and hospitals in Korea. No need to immerse your body in cold ice water anymore. The effects of using ice packs or taking cold baths are minimal. However, whole-body cryotherapy gives you a feeling of increased warmth after a session and helps with blood circulation, immunity, skin condition, and collagen production. Professional athletes can experience more convenient and faster results with cryotherapy.
