During an Ice Bath session, you will immerse your body in a tub of cold water for several minutes. The low temperature will trigger your body’s natural healing process, reducing inflammation and promoting blood flow. The therapy can also help to reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, and improve your overall sense of well-being.
An ice bath is a therapeutic practice that involves immersing the body in cold water or a combination of cold water and ice for a set period of time.
When you immerse your body in cold water, it triggers vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the extremities. After exiting the ice bath, the body undergoes vasodilation, increasing blood flow and delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Some benefits of taking an ice bath include reducing inflammation, speeding up muscle recovery, decreasing muscle soreness, improving circulation, and enhancing mental well-being.
It is recommended to start with shorter sessions of 5-10 minutes and gradually increase the time as you become more accustomed to the cold temperature. Do not exceed 15-20 minutes per session.
