What is Cryotherapy and Why You Might Need To Try It

Written By Shawn Vedamani

The Cold Exposure

  • How it works: The extreme cold causes blood vessels in the skin to constrict (vasoconstriction), reducing inflammation and pain in muscles and joints.

  • Body response: After leaving the chamber, blood vessels dilate (vasodilation), sending nutrient-rich blood to muscles and organs.

  • Physiological effects:

    • Triggers endorphin release → improves mood and alertness

    • Stimulates metabolism slightly → burns calories

    • Supports recovery by reducing swelling and oxidative stress
