“Definitely worth the experience It's more than just an ice bath We're healing Pushing ourselves/myself beyond my comfort zone The Dr's help you through out the whole ice bath... Loved it”
“Spring plunge...Wow! What an experience and how this clear your mind. 6 degrees and your body doesn't feel the cold, just warmth. Thank you, Dr Travis, you are awesome!”
“What an experience!!! 15 April 2023 I can still not believe that I did it, but I took my first Ice Plunge! My plunge started with shock and panic to the ice cold water and emotion almost took over BUT when that mental change came it was as if a switch went on and I was calm and enjoying the experience. My reaction of stress control during the week after the plunge has been so much more focused and in control!! I will definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone! I am so grateful! Thank you Dr Travis and team”

Evidence & context
What research says about cold therapy
Recovery
Reviews of whole-body cold therapy mostly show effects on perceived muscle soreness and recovery after intense exercise. The evidence base is heterogeneous and samples are often small.
Research base
Studies describe short-term effects on pain perception and mobility. Results are inconsistent and robust long-term data is largely missing — a therapeutic benefit is not established.
