Let’s clear something up: Whole Body Cryotherapy is not an ice bath. That’s right; it’s not just a more expensive version of something you can do at home. The process and benefits of a cryotherapy session are vastly different from those of a traditional ice bath.
While an ice bath has been trusted for years by athletes, it’s time to get the cold, hard facts about it — it’s just not working.
While an ice bath does temporarily numb pain, it offers no other benefits (in fact, ice baths actually offer some negative hygienic issues). Don’t believe us? See for yourself.
Remember, adaptation occurs during recovery, not the workout. Why wouldn’t you do everything you could to maximize your recovery?
