Spot cryotherapy at Mráz léčí targets a single body area with a −150 to −170 °C nitrogen air stream for 3 minutes, delivering analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy, this modality concentrates the cold dose directly on an inflamed joint, strained muscle, or injured tendon, producing rapid local vasoconstriction that reduces oedema and interrupts the pain-signalling cycle without pharmaceutical intervention. The standard protocol applies 180–240 seconds of cold air per area over 2–3 cycles with 300-second rest intervals, and sessions are typically repeated five times per week over one to two weeks for acute injuries. With a 0.05% complication rate when protocols are followed, it is among the safest physical therapy modalities available.
About this treatment
Local cryotherapy at Mráz léčí is performed with professional nitrogen-powered devices delivering a focused air stream at −150 to −170 °C to a specific anatomical site — a knee, shoulder, elbow, lumbar region, or acute muscle belly. The handpiece is directed by a trained therapist who maintains a safe working distance and moves the nozzle continuously across the target area to prevent focal ice injury while ensuring a deep thermal effect across the tissue…
The treatment protocol follows established physiotherapy guidelines: 180 to 240 seconds of active cold application per targeted area, conducted in 2–3 cycles separated by 300-second recovery intervals to allow partial rewarming before re-exposure. This cyclic approach has been shown to maximise the anti-oedematous and analgesic response compared with a single continuous application. Following each session, the clinic recommends 10 minutes of dynamic…
Local cryotherapy is particularly effective for rotator-cuff tendinopathy, acute hamstring and quadriceps strains, post-run plantar fasciitis, epicondylitis (tennis and golfer's elbow), and acute ligament sprains where ice application would otherwise require long contact times with imprecise outcomes. The nitrogen air stream penetrates subcutaneous fat to reach the target tissue faster than conventional ice packs, and the absence of moisture eliminates…
