Pilchards Posted 17 April, 2018 Share Posted 17 April, 2018 On Sunday I visited a Taekwondo club for my students to train at and I got talking to the owner. He has a Cryotheraphy chamber that he hires out for top sports stars in the region as it’s a popular option instead of ice baths. Anyway he told me Southampton football club were one of the first clubs that used this but stopped it three years ago. Over 85% of the top clubs in the country have them now and they are very expensive too. Why have we stopped using them I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 17 April, 2018 Share Posted 17 April, 2018 From what I recall most people do cryo after training when in fact the benefits noted of a cold bath or cryo would be more prevalent few hours afters a session not directly after one. Also I think studies have show that in itself there are no clear trend of benefits but then again the sample size is probably too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 17 April, 2018 Share Posted 17 April, 2018 I know Charlie Austin when to some decompression sessions in the Gosport/Portsmouth area recently when he had his hamstring injury. My neighbour, who knows nothing about football or who he was, struck up a conversation with him, she goes every week for treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryoman1965 Posted 17 April, 2018 Share Posted 17 April, 2018 The club had one on a four week trial at the start of the year. They didn’t think it was of Benefit to use one and are sticking with the ice bath. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 17 April, 2018 Share Posted 17 April, 2018 I think the club probably sussed that it is all quackery. And expensive quackery. Quackery always expensive because it doesn’t work and it’s a con-trick perpetrated by charlatans, with the sole aim of relieving the money from those with more of it than sense. At best there’s perhaps a placebo response from such ‘treatments’. If someone can explain the physiological mechanism that leads to ‘benefits’ in the striated musculature of the limbs by applying superficial chilling to the skin, then I’m prepared to change my mind... It’s also impossible to do a randomized controlled double blind trial for this sort of thing so while you can never really prove it works you can’t prove it doesn’t very easily either...
