What are the benefits of cold therapy?
Ice baths help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, speeding up recovery and enhancing physical performance. By calming the nervous system, cold immersion improves sleep quality and lowers stress levels, while also boosting baseline dopamine for a more positive mood throughout the day. Regular use has been shown to increase energy, strengthen the immune system, and even lower cortisol levels, reducing anxiety and promoting mental clarity. For anyone looking to feel stronger, recover faster, and improve overall wellbeing, ice baths are a quick & simple yet powerful practice.
How long should you stay in an ice bath?
You should aim to stay submerged in cold water for between 5- 10 minutes. We recommend building up to this if you're new to ice baths and cold plunging. Try 2 mins in, 2 mins out to begin with and build up to 10 minutes over time.
What temperature is recommended for ice baths?
An ice bath should typically be between 4C to 10°C (40°F to 50°F). This temperature range is cold enough to provide all the health benefits associated with cold plunging. We recommend making the water "uncomfortably cold", you should gradually reduce the temperature over time as your tolerance improves.
