Despite sounding like an outer-galactic counselling session, the meaning of Cryotherapy has much more simplistic roots. The word ‘Cryo’ in Greek literally means ‘Cold.’ When we are talking of Cryotherapy, we are referring to a mode of treatment that harnesses the remedial properties of freezing temperatures. The origins of low-temperature treatments can be traced back to ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Chinese civilisations where ice baths were used to provide cure for injuries, inflammation, and pain. Fast forward to the 21st century and we are seeing something of a revival of ‘Cryo’ treatments with the celebrity-endorsed ‘Cryo-chambers’ making a regular appearance on Instagram.
