With personal health becoming more widely recognised and focused on, the concept of using an ice bath is no longer reserved for professional sportsmen.
More and more people are discovering the many benefits of cold water submersion and, as such, are looking to add ice baths into their weekly routines. If you are an athlete or are looking to increase your physical and emotional wellbeing this year, understanding the benefits of ice baths can help you decide whether an ice bath is the best investment for your household. In this guide, we’ll look at how cold water immersion can benefit your physical and emotional health and the benefits of installing an ice bath at home.
If you’ve ever put your body under physical strain, you’ll know the feeling of muscle soreness. The tightness, aching and sharp pains that come with high physical strain can hinder your performance the next day or simply make it hard to focus at work. There are numerous ways to relieve this discomfort but one of the most popular ones today is through cold water immersion. As the name suggests, this involves submerging your body in water at a temperature of less than 10°C. This act causes the vessels at the surface of your skin to constrict. As blood flow slows throughout your body, your heart rate increases along with your respiration too. However, it is once you leave the bath that most people cite the best results.
When we look at the aftermath of exercise, it is common to experience a build-up of lactic acid, soreness in muscles and even inflammation. There has been much research over the years to prove that ice baths can significantly reduce the negative side effects of exercise. Just two ice baths per week could provide a whole host of benefits:
Speed up recovery
As your body warms after stepping out of an ice bath, blood flow returns to its normal rate. This swift incline in blood pressure is thought to help push unwanted toxins and waste products – such as lactic acid – through the body faster to help speed up recovery.
Improved mental health
Research shows that cold water submersion can actively reduce the release of cortisol – the stress hormone. This improves your mental health and allows you to feel more focused. It can also increase the production of norepinephrine in your blood plasma which improves your attention span and allows you to better deal with stressful situations.
Better Sleep
Our bodies run on a natural circadian rhythm which is dictated by the rise and fall of the run (and the fluctuations in heat). Scheduling an ice bath after exercise will lower your body temperature, triggering your sleep hormones and improving sleep quality in the early part of the night.
Weight loss
There is evidence to say that cold water immersion helps to increase the amount of brown fat in your body. These cells produce more energy and help to burn off calories quicker, allowing you to push yourself more during exercise and, therefore, burn more fat. Ice baths are also said to help control blood sugar and insulin levels.
The benefits of ice baths are being proven again and again. If you’re an avid athlete, engage in endurance sports or you simply want to embrace the physical and mental health benefits cited in cold water immersion, you may want to consider adding an ice bath to your home. The InvigorIce is the ultimate ice bath. With hydrotherapy jets and LED lighting, our unique customised chiller control system allows you to reduce the temperature as low as 5 degrees effortlessly.

Had a great service from this company. Arrived on time, great hot tub and answered any later questions very quickly. We run an air bnb Hillcot Glamping and the hot tub has been a huge hit for wonderful star gazing. It is taking a lot of use and still looks good and works well. We would definitely recommend them and would buy another!! Thank you George and team.
