What's included
3 deliverables in this treatment
- 2–3 minute focused cryotherapy session at up to −160 °C
- Qualified operator supervision and handpiece positioning throughout
- Targeted application to a single body area (knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow or wrist)
Local cryotherapy applies a focused stream of cold gas at temperatures down to −160 °C directly onto a painful or injured area — knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow or wrist — for 2–3 minutes per session. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy chambers, the targeted approach concentrates the cooling effect precisely where it is needed, triggering rapid vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, reduced inflammatory mediators, and significant pain relief. At Kryoterapie Olomouc the protocol follows a rehabilitation framework: sessions are performed daily, with 6–10 consecutive visits recommended for lasting results. The studio is supervised by trained staff who guide session intensity to individual tolerance, making it accessible for post-operative recovery, chronic rheumatic conditions, and acute sports injuries alike.
About this treatment
Local cryotherapy at Kryoterapie Olomouc delivers an intense, precisely controlled burst of cryogenically cooled gas — reaching down to −160 °C — directly onto a specific body region for 2–3 minutes. The treatment targets joints, tendons, ligaments and the surrounding musculature in areas such as the knee, hip, lumbar spine, shoulder, elbow and wrist. Because the cold is applied locally rather than to the whole body, the physiological response is…
The protocol at this studio is built around a course rather than a one-off visit. The recommended 6–10 consecutive daily sessions reflect the rehabilitation research showing that cumulative cryotherapy produces more durable outcomes than isolated treatments — particularly for degenerative joint conditions, post-surgical tissue healing, and repetitive-strain injuries. Accelerated healing of up to one-third faster recovery time has been reported in the…
During a session, the operator positions the cryotherapy handpiece 10–15 cm from the treatment area and moves it in steady passes to avoid excessive localised cold contact. The intense cold sensation is brief and typically described as manageable; the experience is far shorter than an ice bath and requires no undressing beyond exposing the target area. Immediately after, circulation returns rapidly and clients generally report warmth and reduced…
