Athletes commonly use cryotherapy for its restorative properties and soothing effects but the truth is it can help anyone regardless of their level of athletic activity. The body's healing process is accelerated by cryotherapy because it reduces blood flow to the injured areas, which reduces swelling and inflammation. It depends on your needs, injury, schedule, availability, and how often you should receive cryotherapy treatments. It takes three to five consecutive sessions to begin feeling the benefits of cryotherapy. Cryotherapy treatments are generally performed one to three times a week in order to maintain the benefits.
