Breaking Down the Benefits of Cryotherapy for Athletes

According to Webster, an athlete is “a person trained or skilled in exercise, sports or games requiring physical strength, agility or stamina.” With sports reaching unprecedented levels of intensity, today’s athletes are training harder than ever, pushing their bodies to the edge of their physical limits to win and reach their goals. To sustain their game and gain an edge over their competition, many are looking for the right way to rest and recover.

For nearly ten years, athletes have turned to whole-body cryotherapy to stay competitive in peak physical condition.

This month, we’re focusing on the health and well-being of athletes, and in this post, we’ll break down exactly what you need to know about the benefits of cryotherapy for athletes.

Thinking about adding cryotherapy to your sports recovery regime?

You’re in good company. Athletes from around the globe are adding cryotherapy to their health and wellness routines to stay in top physical condition. Because so many users report faster recovery times, this natural wellness method is becoming increasingly popular amongst the athletic and medical communities alike.

From first-round draft picks to gold medalists, all-stars to future hall-of-famers, here are just a few of the benefits of cryotherapy for athletes and the incredible roster of adoptees.

Faster Recovery Time

Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo swears by cryotherapy. What started as an attempt to heal an old injury turned into a staple in the star athlete’s recovery regime, “going for treatments up to twice a week to guarantee quick recovery after matches and training and, subsequently, optimal performance.” He even installed a chamber in his home.

Stronger Performance in the Training Room

Many collegiate and professional teams have invested and are investing in cryotherapy. The Georgia Bulldogs and Mizzou use state-of-the-art whole body cryotherapy chambers to ensure their athletes have access to the fastest recovery possible. The Kansas City Royals have used cryotherapy as well, citing it as a “secret weapon” for keeping athletes healthy during postseason.

No matter what your game is, cryotherapy could be the alternative treatment you’ve been looking for and can serve as a powerful addition to your sports recovery regime.
