Local cryotherapy (also known as focal or spot cryotherapy) is used to focus on specific areas of your body - like a joint, muscle, or tendon - rather than exposing your whole body to cold. It uses a focused stream of freezing temperature, delivered by a specialised device, to the area that needs it most.

When used thoughtfully, local cryotherapy can offer:

• Reduced pain & inflammation in joints or muscles

• Faster recovery after workouts or strain

• Less swelling in the treated area

• Enhanced circulation as blood rushes back post-treatment to aid repair

This method allows for a high degree of precision - so it’s useful for addressing aches or injuries without chilling the whole body.

The device is applied to your skin over the target area and delivers cold either via chilled air, a cryogenic nozzle, or cooling elements (depending on the specific machine). As the temperature drops:

1. Blood vessels in the area constrict, which helps calm inflammation and reduce pain.

2. Once you stop the cold exposure, circulation returns, delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to support healing.

3. Over repeated sessions, this “cool → restore” cycle can help keep tissues resilient and responsive.

Because only localised areas are exposed, treatment is more comfortable and controllable than full-body cold therapy - yet still powerful in its zone of focus

At Jyai, we view local cryotherapy as a tool to support wellbeing and recovery - not as medical treatment. We don’t diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent illnesses, and our services should not be taken as substitutes for medical care.

If you have any existing health conditions - especially involving circulation, nerve function, open wounds, or sensitivity to cold - please consult a qualified healthcare provider before trying cryotherapy.
