Cold Therapy (CT)
What is
Cold Therapy (CT)
Cold therapy—also known as cryotherapy—is a physiotherapeutic treatment method where cold is specifically applied to alleviate pain, inhibit inflammation, and reduce swelling.
The local application of cold causes blood vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction), slowing down inflammatory processes and dampening acute irritation. At the same time, cold has an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect by reducing the transmission of pain signals in the nervous system.
At my private practice in Munich, cold therapy is used specifically for acute symptoms or as a supportive measure within an individual therapy plan.
Key benefits of
Cold Therapy
Cold has decongestant, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects. It can positively influence the healing process, especially in the case of acute injuries or irritation.
Furthermore, it prevents excessive blood flow in the inflamed tissue, thereby reducing the spread of swelling.

Your coverage
As a private practice I treat privately insured patients, patients with civil‑servant medical‑benefit coverage (Beihilfe), and self‑paying patients. I will be happy to inform you transparently about the treatment process, duration, and cost structure before therapy begins.
A medical prescription can, of course, be processed.
The goal is to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling through targeted local cooling.
Methods include cooling packs, ice applications, or specialized cold compresses, all applied in a controlled manner.
Adverse reactions may occur in cases of cold intolerance, circulatory disorders, or sensitive skin. A professional assessment is conducted before every application.
