Better recovery.

Ice baths help reduce inflammation and improve your body’s recovery by changing the way blood and other fluids flow through your body. When you’re in cold water, your blood vessels constrict. This helps post-workout drainage of waste products released from the process by which your body converts nutrition into energy, supplies building materials, and removes waste products.

Proven science

Science has the cold facts.

Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are inflammatory. Cold therapy has been proven to relieve symptoms non-pharmaceutically. Whole-body cold therapy provides short-term pain relief that can treat chronic pain.

From Metzger et al., 2000

Taking an ice bath or cold shower daily leads to 29 percent less sick leave. This is according to research by the Amsterdam Medical Center (AMC) that followed a group of more than 3,000 people for a month.

From AMC 2016
