Cryotherapy facilities use extremely low temperatures for medical therapy. Cryotherapy is mostly used in an effort to help relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling after soft tissue damage (sport) or surgery and to improve recovery after sports activities.

The treatment involves exposing individuals to extremely cold dry air from − 100 °C down to – 160°C for 2-4 minutes. During these exposures, individuals wear minimal clothing to maximize the effects of cryotherapy.
