- Directed liquid nitrogen vapour application to one body area

Local cryotherapy at Colliery Recovery applies a directed stream of liquid nitrogen vapour to a specific body area, rapidly cooling the tissue to reduce swelling, calm inflammation, and relieve pain. The studio uses it routinely as part of rehabilitation after sports overload, for joint, muscle and tendon complaints, post-operative swelling, and minor injuries, as well as for skin-focused applications such as supporting acne-prone skin and the appearance of scars and stretch marks. At 150 Kč per application it is one of the most accessible recovery tools on the menu, and is frequently stacked with massage, shockwave or physiotherapy in a single recovery visit.
About this treatment
Cold has been used therapeutically for centuries — ice baths, snow and cold compresses all exploit the body's strong physiological response to rapid cooling. Local cryotherapy modernises this principle: instead of immersing the whole body, a therapist directs a controlled stream of liquid nitrogen vapour at one targeted area for a few minutes, achieving an intense, precisely placed cooling effect without the discomfort of direct ice contact.
How it works
Rapid surface cooling causes immediate vasoconstriction of local blood vessels, which limits swelling and slows inflammatory signalling in the treated tissue. As the area rewarms after the application, a reactive increase in circulation flushes the tissue with oxygenated blood — a pump-like effect associated with faster recovery of overloaded muscles, tendons and joints. The cold also temporarily slows nerve conduction, which is why pain relief is…
