With today’s technology and recovery innovations, it’s tough to imagine anyone using outdated methods to recover.
However, as we recently saw in The Bachelor, this is still happening.
If you didn’t keep up with this past season, what you need to know is that Bachelor Nick took a contestant on a date that involved alternating between a freezing ice bath and a hot sauna. The couple ran through the snow from sauna to ice bath multiple times, wearing only bathing suits.
Yes, it’s as miserable as it sounds.
There’s simply no reason to continue using methods like this. For centuries humans have been known to use ice baths to recover, but people are quickly realizing the difference Cryotherapy can make. For an ice bath to be effective, athletes must stay submerged for up to ten minutes. If you’ve ever taken a dip in a frozen lake, you know ten minutes in freezing water is a LONG time! Cryotherapy eliminates the need to stay submerged.
Taking this even further, the method that Nick and his date were utilizing is the same concept we use with Cryosense, the only Cryotherapy unit in the world with alternating heat and cold sessions. The best thing? Our option is faster and much more pleasant.
Likewise, Cryosense is the first and only cryochamber with two different target zones that allow clients to choose greater cold intensity on the upper body or lower body, or keep a consistent level of cold over the whole body.
Can an ice bath do that?
Next time you find yourself in need of recovery, save yourself the pain and discomfort and opt for Cryosense.
Here’s to hoping Nick is now using Cryosense to recover after all his dancing.
