"Ice baths serve as a practical and efficient means of fully immersing the body in a therapeutic experience. They are easy to set up, equipped with insulation to maintain stable water temperatures, and can be used multiple times without changing the water"
While cold therapy has been an accepted treatment for injuries and post-exercise recovery for over 30 years, new research is showing that cold therapy is safe and effective for chronic diseases.
Cold water therapy, also known as cold hydrotherapy, involves using water around 59°F (15°C) to treat health conditions or stimulate health benefits. This practice, existing for millennia, has evolved to include ice baths, daily showers, outdoor swims, and specific cold water immersion sessions.
Full or partial body immersion into water at 15 degrees C. Can be conducted in a clinical or home setting.
Voluntary exposure to temperatures below your comfort level.
Involves the use of a cryogen to expose yourself to temperatures of -128 degrees Celsius - -184 degrees Celsius. Use degrees Celsius symbols.
By lowering skin temperature and slowing nerve conduction velocity, cold water immersion provides pain relief.
Cold water immersion after exercise can speed up recovery by reducing inflammation and muscle soreness through vasoconstriction.
Exposure to cold water has been shown to significantly improve mood through the release of hormones and neurotransmitters such as endorphins.
The practice also improves sleep quality by increasing parasympathetic activity and reducing sympathetic arousal, creating ideal conditions for deep sleep and promoting the release of neuromodulators that aid in restorative sleep.
Cold therapy aids fat loss through two main mechanisms shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.
Cold therapy initiates vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the skin and extremities, which aids in reducing muscle pain, fatigue, and swelling. Cold therapy initiated vasoconstriction may be a preventative measure against dementia including Alzheimer’s Disease.
Ice baths offer rejuvenating effects , aiding to reduce the inflammation which occurs after a period of intense exercise. With our cold water immersion therapy solutions, you can enjoy faster post-exercise recovery and improved performance.
With our cold water immersion therapy solutions, we present a comprehensive analysis of studies exploring the impact of cryotherapy on mental health. These findings shed light on the efficacy of cold water immersion therapy as an adjunct intervention for mental health problems, offering a unique perspective on its potential benefits.

Backed by rigorous scientific evidence, our ice baths offer an easy and convenient tool for individuals aiming to lose weight, providing assistance along the path to a happier self.
Cold water therapy has long been used in the management of acute pain, but recently there has been a growing amount of evidence to suggest beneficial effects on chronic pain such conditions as osteoarthritis.
Just as our cold water immersion supports your fat loss journey, our products are also designed to alleviate pain and promote a better quality of life.
Few things affect our health and well-being as much as sleep. So it’s no surprise that many of us are looking for ways to get better sleep.
Can cold plunges be the answer? While it might seem surprising, there is evidence that taking ice baths can have a positive effect on your sleep.
Ice baths are a form of cold water immersion meaning they carry the risk of respiratory, cardiovascular and neurovascular injury. They can lead to conditions such as cold water shock, hypothermia and in extreme circumstances a stroke.
The British Medical Journal has made the following advice for people who are trying out cold water immersion for the first time:
Start at temperatures at the higher end of cold water immersion therapy of 15 degrees (59 degrees fahrenheit) and gradually make it colder over time.
Begin by only spending short durations of time such as 15 seconds in the cold water and gradually building this up over time.
Gradually enter the water and do not immediately fully submerge yourself.
If you have a health condition and are concerned or uncertain about using an ice bath you must consult your doctor first. Here is a list of some of the conditions that would disqualify using an ice bath:
History of heart disease
History of any circulatory issues
Raynaud’s disease
Pregnancy
Under 18s
Open wound or have just undergone surgery
