TERAPIA FRÍA<br />

El uso de la terapia fría para tratar lesiones e inflamación se remonta al 2500<br />

A.C. Usada para calmar la hinchazón y para un efecto analgésico, también<br />

es conocida como un tratamiento eficaz para la neuralgia y migrañas.<br />

La aplicación de frío ejerce diversos efectos en el cuerpo<br />

• Hemodinámicos: al constreñir los vasos sanguíneos de los tejidos<br />

musculares y reducir el torrente sanguíneo, la crioterapia retarda los<br />

moretones, 10 a 15 minutos de exposición a 10ºC o menos, es suficiente<br />

para producir un ciclo de vasoconstricción-vasodilatación.<br />

• Neuromusculares: la sangre se espesa, haciéndola más viscosa,<br />

reduciendo la actividad metabólica e inhibiendo el sistema nervioso -<br />

inmediatamente resultando en la disminución del dolor.<br />

• Analgésico y antiinflamatorio: al disminuir la actividad metabólica,<br />

incrementa la producción de las sustancias vasoactivas (angiotensina 2,<br />

adrenalina, noradrenalina, vasopresina, fenilefrina, prostaciclina, óxido nítrico<br />

y PGF2). Estas moléculas efectúan la vasodilatación y vasoconstricción,<br />

reduciendo la respuesta inflamatoria, edemas y aliviando el dolor.<br />

Al entrar en una cabina de nieve, el cuerpo reacciona con una constricción<br />

vascular (estrechando de los vasos sanguíneos) y el flujo sanguíneo protege<br />

los órganos vitales. Según los estudios, esto es beneficioso para quienes<br />

sufren hipertensión, especialmente realizado con regularidad. El uso de<br />

una sala de nieve en combinación con un sauna mejora el sueño, reduce<br />

el dolor, mejora estado de ánimo e incrementa la energía, además provee<br />

alivio para el estrés, mejor respiración, piel más suave y un sentido más<br />

saludable de sí mismo.<br />

COLD THERAPY<br />

The use of cold therapy to treat injury and inflammation dates back to<br />

2500 B.C. Used to soothe swelling and for an analgesic effect, it also<br />

became known as an effective treatment for neuralgia and migraines.<br />

The application of cold exerts various effects on the body:<br />

• Hemodynamic: by constricting the blood vessels in muscle<br />

tissue and reducing blood flow, cryotherapy slows bruising; 10-15<br />

minutes of exposure to 50°F (10ºC) or below is enough to produce a<br />

vasoconstriction-vasodilation cycle.<br />

• Neuromuscular: the blood is thickened, making it more viscous,<br />

reducing metabolic activity and inhibiting the nervous system -<br />

immediately resulting in pain reduction.<br />

• Analgesic and anti-inflammatory: as metabolic activity is reduced,<br />

the production of vasoactive substances (angiotensin 2, adrenaline,<br />

48<br />

norepinephrine, vasopressin, phenylephrine, prostacyclin, nitric<br />

oxide and PGF2) increases. These molecules effect vasodilation and<br />

vasoconstriction, reducing the inflammatory response, edema, and<br />

alleviating pain.<br />

Upon entering a snow cabin, the body reacts with vasoconstriction<br />

(narrowing of the blood vessels) and blood flow protects vital organs.<br />

According to studies, this is beneficial for those suffering from<br />

hypertension, especially when repeated regularly. The use of a snow<br />

room in combination with a sauna improves sleep, reduces pain,<br />

improves mood and increases energy, as well as providing stress relief,<br />

improved breathing, smoother skin and a healthier sense of self.<br />
