When your body rewarms, circulation increases and may help remove metabolic waste linked to muscle soreness. You will often see cryotherapy used to: Reduce inflammation and swelling Ease joint and muscle pain Support post-exercise recovery Treat certain skin lesions Whole-body cryotherapy sessions typically last 2–3…
