A Cool Solution To Pain
Athletes with any type of pain aren’t able to play their best. Frozen air therapy is a modern alternative to chronic pain reduction. It is natural and effective.
Frozen air therapy is a new exciting form of cryotherapy. Frozen air therapy is a great way to speed up recovery, reduce core body temperatures, and improve athletic performance. It feels great too!
How Frozen Air Therapy Helps with Pain
Reduces inflammation
Inflammation is the leading cause of chronic pain. When using frozen air therapy research has shown it constricts blood vessels in turn reducing swelling and decreasing inflammatory markers leading to instant pain relief.
Numbs Nerve Irritation
Have you ever pinched a nerve and felt instant pain? Exposure to cold temperatures, like frozen air therapy can slow nerve conduction, temporarily numbing the irritated nerves. Research shows it helps with sciatica as well as migraine without the need for medication.
Boosts Endorphins
Endorphins are your body’s natural painkiller. Numerous studies show the benefits frozen air therapy has on endorphin production. Increased endorphins will improve your mood, naturally reducing pain. Athletes have reported lasting effects even after their frozen air therapy sessions end.
Improved Circulation
We talked about cold exposure constricting blood vessels, but after the session is complete your blood vessels dilate, increasing oxygen and nutrient flow to your muscles and joints! Increased blood flow to muscles and joints can accelerate recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
Mobility and Flexibility
Cold exposure helps loosen up tension in your muscles in turn improving your range of motion.
Have an injury or want to take your athletic performance to the next level? Give frozen air therapy a try.
