When deciding which cryotherapy machine is best for knee icing there are a few things to consider. First, think about the dimensions. Some models are compact enough to accommodate at home, while others — larger and more suited for professional settings, such as clinics or gyms. You need something that provides for you. Next, consider the cooling tech. Some are designed to work with ice packs or feature special systems that cool air. You have a hard time retaining heat, then an air-cooling system might be more suitable for you. A second thing to consider is how usable the unit will be. The top machines need to have easy-to-use controls that anyone can use without difficulty. Seek for models that offer to clear instructions. And, of course, look at reviews from former users. Online, you’ll sometimes find people writing up their experiences so that you can determine if something will be worth your while to buy. At KONBEST we listen to your feedback, which is why our cryotrensusre units are user friendly and efficient. For an innovative approach, you might also explore our Contrast Therapy Application options.
There are typical issues develop when using cryotherapy units for knee pain. One issue is the time of use. It’s hard not to feel you’d like to try it for hours. But if you cool your knee too much, for too long a period of time, it can do more harm than good. Typically you want a session to run around 20-30 minutes. Another issue is that the knee isn’t making proper contact. (More on other types further down.) If the unit isn’t positioned correctly, it can miss the section of you that aches. Always place it as recommended in your instructions so you can take full advantage. Users may also forget to rest their knees after treatment. When you’re done, give it a little rest before moving around too much, emphasizing the support and cushioning of the affected joint. And last, the cold could simply be too much for some. You may try the device if that occurs with a very thin cloth between it and your skin. At KONBEST, we believe in these concerns and want our units to work safely and effectively for all.

Visiting those shows will allow you to see the units up close, ask questions, and perhaps even renegotiate pricing. And you can read up on how cryotherapy works and how it can help with knee injuries. If you are a clinic or gym make sure to reach out directly to KONBEST so they send you their wholesale price sheet. They may have discounted prices for large volume orders. This can mean savings for you especially if you want to install more than one cryotherapy units in a single place.
If you head to a cryotherapy session in aid of your knee, there are some things that you might expect. First things first: Get there early. This allows you time to complete any paperwork and ask questions. KONBEST staff will tell you all about it and make sure that you understand to feel comfortable with the procedure. You are most likely not too far from being ready to do something for your knee. The technician might ask you to pull clothing away from the knee and may supply shields for your skin. They will also detail the duration of their sitting. Cryotherapy sessions for the knee are typically very short, from mere seconds to around 15 minutes on average.
You will feel very cold during the treatment, but it isn’t as scary as it sounds. The University of Illinois cryotherapy unit relies on a special machine that rapidly chills the area around the knee. You might feel a bit tingly or chilly from the cold, but it shouldn’t hurt. The temperature suits many people just fine. And as the cold gets to work on your knee, that can also help decrease swelling and pain. Following the session, your knee might feel warmer and you’ll probably sense that it feels better. That’s because the chill can increase blood supply and lessen swelling.
An additional key hot feature in cryotherapy units has been sophisticated temperature control. Good temperature control lets you decide exactly how cold you want the treatment. This is valuable to make sure that the treatment is comfortable for all, and it can be varied depending on what kind of injury you have. Some are even equipped with smart technology, such as phone apps. These apps can keep track of your sessions, record progress and even alert you when it’s time for the next cryotherapy treatment. It helps to take the guesswork out of sticking to a schedule and getting the most from your knee therapy.
