Chill Tub Ice Bath
Popular with athletes, cold water immersion in an ice bath can provide a range of health benefits. These include reduced muscle soreness after training (achieved by constricting blood vessels and reducing inflammation), improved recovery time and decreased inflammation. It can also improve circulation by stimulating blood flow, which could help with recovery and reduce the risk of injury. As it may help to reduce inflammation, cold water immersion could also be beneficial for individuals with chronic inflammation or inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
Note: Ice tubs are not suitable for everyone and can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for some individuals. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
