Cryotherapy or Cold Therapy
Cryotherapy is a treatment method that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for therapeutic purposes. The term "cryotherapy" literally means "cold therapy." It can be applied to specific areas (localised cryotherapy) or the entire body (whole-body cryotherapy).
