Why Ice Baths?

'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

What is Cold Water Immersion Therapy?

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.

Definitions

01
Cold-water immersion

Full or partial body immersion into water at 15 degrees C. Can be conducted in a clinical or home setting.

02
Cold exposure

Voluntary exposure to temperatures below your comfort level.

03
Cryotherapy

Involves the use of a cryogen to expose yourself to temperatures of -128 degrees Celsius - -184 degrees Celsius. Use degrees Celsius symbols.

Benefits

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
Helps Chronic Pain

By lowering skin temperature and slowing nerve conduction velocity, cold water immersion provides pain relief.

Better recovery & performance

Cold water immersion after exercise can speed up recovery by reducing inflammation and muscle soreness through vasoconstriction.

Improves mood & mental health

Exposure to cold water has been shown to significantly improve mood through the release of hormones and neurotransmitters such as endorphins.

Sleep Support

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.

Aids Fat Loss

Cold therapy aids fat loss through two main mechanisms shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.

Vasoconstriction

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 and Sleep: How Cold Water Affects Your Zzzs

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.

Disclaimer

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:

01

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.

02

Begin by only spending short durations of time such as 15 seconds in the cold water and gradually building this up over time.

03

Gradually enter the water and do not immediately fully submerge yourself.

The majority of people who have unfavourable side effects as a result of cold water therapy have a number of other medical issues that prevent them from engaging in cold water immersion
Scientific evidence shows there is a very low risk of experiencing side effects following cold water therapy.

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
