CET Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is the application of cold for the treatment and prevention of sports injuries and is increasingly used as a recovery modality.

CET have developed a patented cryo spa to facilitate the easy use of cryotherapy in the sports club or at home.

Clinical trials, using the CET Cryotherapy Spa, have been conducted at the Sports & Health Research Institute at the University of Ulster to establish the optimum protocols for the use of cryotherapy in the treatment of sports injuries such as achilles tendon injuries, cruciate ligaments, hamstrings, soft tissue injuries etc. and to aid in the promotion of speedy recovery after training or competition.
