Physiolab® Cryotherapy

Cold and Compression Therapy

Over the years, cryotherapy has been widely adopted in the worlds of elite sport and orthopaedics. From being used to reduce inflammation and swelling following a sprain or fracture, to providing pain relief following orthopaedic surgery, it is a versatile treatment with purpose across a range of medical contexts.

Reducing swelling and pain quickly following surgery or injury enables patients to regain range of movement and begin rehabilitation at a much earlier stage. Therefore, proactively applying cryotherapy will often reduce your recovery time overall.

Who We Help

Post Surgery

Orthopaedic surgery often provides an opportunity for patients to regain their mobility in the long-term and improve their overall quality of life. Therefore, taking your post-operative recovery seriously and ensuring you are equipped with all the necessary tools in advance is important.

Sprains & Strains

We all have those moments where we slip, trip or fall. It’s no surprise that most of us carry around a knock or minor injury every once in a while. However, when the damage begins to impact your ability to complete daily tasks, it’s worth considering treatment with Physiolab.

Chronic Pain

Orthopaedic chronic pain is often a result of an underlying health condition or a long-term repercussion of injury. Most suffering with chronic pain never know how they are going to feel when they wake up in the morning and every day can be a struggle. If you rely heavily on medication to make it through every day, then cryotherapy could be a good option for you.

Athlete Recovery

Physical recovery is of paramount importance to athletes and sports enthusiasts. Your success is defined by the smallest of margins and how you choose to recover can give you that desired competitive edge.

Pricing

$407 (incl GST) for 2 week hire.
