Benefits

Don’t be left out in the cold; discover the benefits of a portable ice bath below. You may just be surprised at just how good it is for you.

Improved Recovery

Sports medicine has used cold water immersion therapy for years to help the recovery of athletes’ muscles. It’s why you often see photos of footballers or rugby players in ice baths post-match.

Don’t worry; you don’t need to be a burly athlete to reap the benefits, though. Research has shown that while an ice bath increases blood flow to the skin, the flow to the muscles is reduced

The reduced muscle blood flow reduces exercise-induced muscle damage (Gregson et al. 2011).

Pain Relief

Pain is a burden, but ice baths can help to lessen it.

A study in individuals with gout arthritis found that cold water immersion decreased pain and improved quality of life (Kurniasari et al. 2022).

Dipping into your Cold Pod could help to lower inflammation and decrease pain.

Weight loss

According to the Wim Hof Method, cold water immersion can increase your metabolism by up to 16%.

The body’s metabolic rate increases in response to being exposed to cold temperatures, and so it tries to produce heat to warm the body up.

If practised regularly, cold water immersion may aid weight loss.

Enhanced Energy

How do you currently wake yourself up? With a caffeine fix, a quick jog around the block, or a long shower?

We all have a preference, but a short burst in icy cold water can be just as effective.

That’s because it induces a process called cold thermogenesis, which means the nerve endings in your skin are stimulated, resulting in increased respiration and heart rates as well as oxygen levels. So this leads to increased energy levels.

Increased Immunity

Cold water therapy puts your body under stress, and although this may seem counterproductive, this stress is likely to be why immersion is so beneficial.

There is some research emerging that suggests that cold water exposure can help to boost our immune cells.

Super Sleep

It may seem counterproductive, but a cold plunge before bed may actually be the answer for a great night’s sleep.

A recent study found that athletes who immersed themselves in cold water for 10 minutes after evening exercise experienced deeper sleep during the first three hours of sleep and woke up less during the night (Chavineau et al. 2021).

Stress Busting

Stress is something many of us battle daily, but there is some emerging research that suggests cold water therapy could help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Research suggests that cold water immersion could lower your heart rate by 15 per cent (Mooventhan & Nivethitha. 2014).

This is particularly pertinent for those experiencing anxiety who often have an increased heart rate. Cold showers have also been shown to be beneficial for improving the symptoms of depression.

We recommend changing the water in your Cold Pod once per week. You can extend this by adding additives to the water, such as bromine or chlorine tablets, but you should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
