01
Reduce Muscle Inflammation
The first major benefit of owning a COLDTUB™ is the ability to reduce muscle inflammation. Oftentimes pain or injury in our body comes from muscle tension and inflammation. Treating this may require expensive and recurring treatments that often don’t even produce the results you are looking for. Cold water therapy is proven to help prevent delayed onset muscle soreness that often prevents you from engaging in further exercise.
By participating in cold water therapy, you will be able to treat any soreness you have by lowering the damaged tissue’s temperature and constricting the blood vessels, taking away any swelling or pain. Cold water therapy is the ultimate solution that will free you from using pain medication and paying for expensive treatments!
02
Increase Muscle And Injury Recovery
Another major point is the ability to increase muscle and injury recovery. If you watch any sports, you will notice that elite athletes often take an ice bath after games. We might be thinking why anyone would put themselves through this! But, the long term benefits outweigh the short term discomfort.
When taking an ice bath, the cold water helps with pain that causes your blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to this area, ultimately decreasing swelling. This is why athletes swear by cold water therapy post-injury!
By owning a COLDTUB™, you can decrease your injury recovery time phenomenally. Cold water therapy is similar to icing an injury but better COLDTUB™ helps target the whole injured area fully, increasing recovery time drastically.
03
Decrease Fatigue
A third amazing side effect of cold-water therapy is the ability to decrease fatigue. We all know the saying “take a cold shower” to help us wake up in the morning, but there is some truth in this. By participating in cold water therapy, you can increase your levels of norepinephrine, which is a hormone that plays a large part in regulating your sleep cycle. By boosting norepinephrine, you will rest better at night, leaving the tired days and need for coffee behind!
04
