Summer is here and with it the search for effective methods to keep our body in its best shape. One of the therapies that has gained popularity in recent years is cryotherapy. However, as with any trend, there are many myths surrounding it. Today, at Recovery Plus, we debunk five common myths about cryotherapy that you should know this summer.
Myth 1: Cryotherapy is Painful
One of the most widespread myths is that cryotherapy is a painful experience. The reality is that while it may feel intensely cold, most people describe it as tolerable and often revitalizing. The treatment lasts only a few minutes and the benefits far outweigh any temporary discomfort.
Myth 2: Only Athletes Need Cryotherapy
It is true that many athletes use cryotherapy to recover from injuries and improve their performance, but the benefits of this therapy go beyond the sports arena. Cryotherapy can help reduce chronic pain, improve circulation, stimulate weight loss and rejuvenate the skin, making it an attractive option for anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being.
Myth 3: Cryotherapy is Dangerous
As with any treatment, cryotherapy must be performed under professional supervision to be safe. When performed correctly, it is a safe therapy with minimal risks. It is important to follow the recommendations and protocols of the cryotherapy center to avoid any complications.
Myth 4: Results are Instantaneous
Cryotherapy offers many benefits, but it is not a magic bullet. While some people may experience immediate pain relief or a feeling of rejuvenation, more profound results, such as reduced inflammation or improved skin appearance, may require several sessions and time to be fully evident.
Myth 5: Anyone Can Do Cryotherapy Without Restrictions
Although many people can benefit from cryotherapy, it is not suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as heart problems, uncontrolled hypertension, or pregnant women, should avoid this treatment. It is always important to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new therapy.
