Cold water therapy is a technique often used by athletes and individuals to reduce muscle soreness and reduce recovery time after exercise. Regular use can reduce inflammation which can benefit individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. It can also stimulate blood flow and improve circulation. There is widespread anecdotal evidence that suggests that cold water immersion can boost the immune system. Many people report feeling healthier and less prone to illness after regularly taking ice tubs. While the immune system is complex and difficult to study, it is believed that the cold can help to adapt and harden the body to disease and infection. Despite the lack of robust scientific studies on this topic, many people believe in the immune-boosting benefits of cold water immersion.
Firstly there are the basic plunge tubs which are filled with cold water to which ice can be added but these have no other method of keeping the water at a regular temperature. Then there is the more popular temperature controlled ice bath often used in commercial settings. These have a filtration system together with a water sanitising ozone system and water chiller unit which can reduce the water temperature from 15 degrees down to 3 degrees in a few hours. These units can also heat the water if you choose to have a hot soak. All of the ice baths supplied by Aquasun are suitable for outdoor use.
