Better than static compression

Static compression is used to control swelling. Active compression helps remove excess fluid, or oedema, from the injured area while bringing fresh blood and nutrients at the same time. Freshly oxygenated blood and the flushing of cellular waste helps improve healing, so you can get back to normal activity more quickly.

Faster healing

The combination of deeply-penetrating, long-lasting cold and active compression is proven to help accelerate healing in damaged tissues. A cryotherapy treatment session is simply more effective than ice packs and compression bandages, so if fast recovery is a priority for you, why wouldn’t you use one?

More comfortable recovery

Injury rehabilitation is no fun for anybody. You are going to experience some pain, swelling, and general discomfort, but a cryotherapy machine can make the journey more comfortable. You don’t have to worry about holding an ice pack or getting the right pressure with a static compression bandage. Just sit back and relax while the cryotherapy machine does all the work.
