Cryotherapy Protocols

Meaning

Cryotherapy Protocols are structured, clinically defined regimens utilizing acute exposure to extremely cold temperatures, typically via whole-body chambers or localized application, for therapeutic physiological effects. These protocols are precisely timed and dosed to induce a systemic cold shock response that mediates pain reduction, decreases inflammation, and potentially modulates neuroendocrine function. The application must be controlled to elicit a beneficial adaptive response without causing tissue damage or compromising core thermoregulation. They are employed in recovery, pain management, and hormonal wellness contexts.
