The Use of Cryotherapy and Heat in the Recovery of Tendon Injuries in Running Athletes Authored

Tendon injuries are a common problem among running athletes, as they can disrupt their sports activities and reduce their physical performance. Tendons play a vital role in movement by connecting muscles to bones, so any injury to them can be painful and require a long period of treatment and rehabilitation. Effective recovery from these injuries depends on appropriate medical intervention and appropriate therapeutic techniques, among which are heat treatments, specifically cryotherapy, and heat therapy. Cryotherapy and thermotherapy are two methods widely used to treat sports injuries. Cryotherapy reduces inflammation and pain in the early stages of injury by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the affected area.
