Recovery – Cryotherapy, Sleep and Swimming {#recovery-ronaldo}

Ronaldo uses a cryotherapy chamber after every match. The chamber cools his body to -200°C for 2‑3 minutes, reducing inflammation and speeding muscle recovery.

Other recovery methods:

• Swimming (low‑impact cardio)

• Compression boots (for legs)

• Massage therapy (twice a week)

• Stretching (30 minutes daily)

For Sportsphere24 Updates, cryotherapy is the most visible part of Ronaldo’s recovery – but sleep is the most important.
