Below are the three main forms of Cryotherapy, along with their applications and typical delivery methods:
The following references illustrate how cooling treatments produce effective outcomes in acute injury management. The local application of cold suppresses the metabolic rate of the surrounding soft tissues. This lowered metabolism decreases enzymatic activity, helping to protect tissues from hypoxia-related damage. Additionally, local hypothermia causes vasoconstriction and decreases microcirculation by over 60%, with these effects […]
Introduction to Acute Injury Management Effective management of acute injuries in the initial stages is crucial for reducing pain, controlling inflammation and promoting optimal recovery. The application of cold therapy, along with supportive measures such as rest, compression, elevation and stabilisation, forms the foundation of early treatment. Each component plays a specific role in minimising […]
The Role of Cooling Application in Acute Injury Management Cold therapy is most effective after bleeding has stopped, as it does not influence active haemorrhaging. When applied early, within minutes of injury, it can significantly reduce the formation of edema. While it cannot reverse swelling once it has developed, cooling can still limit its progression […]
In this lesson, we explore how mobility exercises combined with cooling can support recovery and identify the appropriate stage after an injury to introduce them. We also outline when the use of heat becomes beneficial in the rehabilitation process. Treatment Strategies Muscle Spasm Responds well to cold therapy, which reduces local metabolic activity, inflammation and […]
