Reaping the Rewards

When using your ice bath, we want you to reap the most benefit. We recommend 11-13 minutes of cold exposure therapy each week - that's either 3 x 4 minute sessions or less than 2 minutes a day! You will get benefits from water less than 15 degrees celsius, which is generally the temperature of cold tap water.

We just know you'll be telling everyone about the positive benefits you experience from fulfilling this quota.

Set-up Instructions

After you've unboxed your brand new Flow Recovery Portable Ice Bath, set up is easy.

1. Find a flat surface close to a drain or waterway (to drain the water once you're finished) and lay out all the parts.

2. Place the O ring over the tube at the bottom of the ice bath and screw the tap on tightly. Ensure the valve is shut.

3. Using either the hand pump or your mouth, inflate the rim of the ice bath and insulation lid. The pillow can be filled with water so it sinks to the bottom to sit on.

4. Slide the poles into the holes at the bottom of the ice bath. The rubber flat surface should be resting on the ground.

5. Fill with water to 3/4 leaving room for ice, the pillow and yourself.

Pack-up Instructions

Even easier than the set-up.

1. Remove everything in the ice bath but the water and ice. Ice can be collected and re-frozen if it hasn't completely melted.

2. Turn the valve on the tap at the bottom of the ice bath to open. The water will start to empty. This can take 5-10 minutes. When empty, wipe down and clean out the inside of the ice bath.

3. Undo the inflation valve at the top of the ice bath and on the insulation lid, then laying the ice bath on its side, one by one remove the poles. The tap can remain connected.

4. Once deflated, fold once and roll up tightly. You're ready to store away.

Benefits of using an ice bath

Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Cold water stimulates the vagus nerve, lowering heart rate and reducing stress. It also boosts the capacity and function of your central nervous system which not only helps you sleep better, but also makes you feel better generally.

Reduce Inflammation

Whether it's an acute injury or intense exercise which has caused localised swelling or general inflammation, cold exposure constricts our blood vessels, reducing blood flow and in turn reducing the body's inflammatory response.

Reduce Muscle Soreness

Intense exercise can lead to muscle damage and inflammation. Some studies suggest that cold water immersion may help reduce muscle soreness and perceived fatigue. This is linked to the constriction of blood vessels and also due to cold water inhibiting pain signalling pathways.

Improve Performance

Immediate post-exercise recovery can be make or break for athletes. Ice baths may help by potentially accelerating the clearance of waste products (e.g. lactate) from the muscles. Ice baths help with immediate post-exercise recovery and as such, can support people to achieve increased, consistent and high intensity training loads, which in turn supports improved performance if balanced with other factory such as quality training and nutrition. In other words, take time to look after your body and it will perform better for you.

Improve Circulation

Using an ice bath as part of contrast therapy (alternating between hot and cold water) can also be an effective way to reduce muscle soreness and enhance recovery by promoting blood flow and circulation. The change between hot and cold stimulates circulation by constricting and dilating our blood vessels.

Deeper Sleep

Cold water immersion has a positive effect on the central nervous system, helping to regulate your body for better sleep.

Improve Metabolism

Brown fat is a special fat that acts as our body's heat pads. When immersed in cold water, our brown fat is activated to support our core temperature. Brown fat is an active fat (as opposed to white fat) and burns stored energy in the body, converting it to heat and keeping us warm. In doing so, this increases the amount of calories you burn during the day and can support weight loss and improvements in metabolism.

Promote Parasympathetic State

Cold exposure can help shift your body from a stressed (sympathetic) state to a relaxed (parasympathetic) state, promoting rest and recovery.
