Ice baths, also known as cold water immersion, are widely used to accelerate recovery and improve overall well-being. The cold temperature helps constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation and flushing out metabolic waste, which can ease muscle soreness and speed up healing. This process supports circulation by promoting efficient blood flow once the body rewarms.

Cold exposure has also been linked to increased endorphin production, leading to improved mood, reduced stress, and heightened mental clarity. Additionally, it activates brown fat, which helps regulate body temperature and can boost metabolism. Regular use of ice baths may also strengthen the immune system by promoting the production of white blood cells and enhancing the body's resilience to physical and mental stress.

For a safe and effective experience, it is important to follow proper guidelines when using an ice bath or sauna.

Ice Bath Guidelines Start with short dips of one to two minutes and gradually increase over time. Keep the water between 10°C and 15°C. Focus on controlled breathing and never push through intense shivering or numbness. Warm up afterward with movement rather than hot showers to let your body adapt naturally.

Sauna Guidelines Begin with ten to fifteen minute sessions and work your way up. Hydration is key so drink water before and after. Avoid alcohol and always listen to your body. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, step out immediately. Contrast therapy, switching between ice baths and saunas, can enhance circulation and recovery.

Following these principles will help you maximise the benefits of cold and heat therapy while keeping safety a priority.

Absolutely. Using two baths—one hot and one cold—for contrast therapy is a great way to boost recovery, circulation, and overall well-being. Switching between temperatures helps reduce muscle soreness, improve blood flow, and strengthen the nervous system.

Start with cold to wake up your system, move to hot to relax your muscles, and finish with cold to reduce inflammation and maximise the benefits.

Ice baths are typically used two to three times per week or after intense workouts to aid muscle recovery and reduce inflammation.
