VASOMOTOR EFFECT OF CRYOTHERAPY Cold activates the sympathetic (autonomic) nervous system.
When exposed to cold, the skin
pores and superficial blood vessels contract. The escaping blood
enlarges the deeper blood veins. An opposite reaction follows
after cold exposure and this back-and-forth pumping movement
still continues for a while. This action improves also the metabolism
of the dermal tissue.
