Why Choose A Recovery Tub - Cold Water Immersion Benefits

We've all heard of Wim Hof and the craziness of immersing yourself in freezing oceans - but if you don't live close to the sea or a lake, what can you do? 

Cold tubs, recovery pods, ice baths - whatever you want to call them - are the way forward. They allow you to have the opportunity to take that cold water plunge in the comfort of your back garden, balcony or even in your garage.
The portable design makes the FatStick Recovery Tub a great piece of kit but as always with FatStick - without the crazy price tag.
Whether you choose a standard size collapsable tub or the XL version, the drop stitch elite design or the large Elite XL - you will have the best quality tub with benefits that come with cold water therapy👇
  • Muscle recovery
    Cold water immersion can help muscles repair microtears faster, reducing soreness and fatigue after exercise. 
  • Reduced inflammation
    Cold water immersion can help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis or post-injury recovery. 
  • Improved circulation
    The cold water constricts blood vessels, but the body's "cold shock response" causes the blood vessels to dilate again, improving circulation. This increased blood flow can help flush toxins from the body and improve skin health. 
  • Boosted immunity
    Regular exposure to cold water can strengthen the immune system. 
  • Stress reduction
    The release of endorphins during ice baths can help alleviate stress and anxiety. 
  • Better sleep
    The body's core temperature naturally drops during sleep, so ice baths can help improve sleep quality. 
  • Reduced depression
    Cold water exposure activates the nervous system, increasing the levels of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline in the blood, which can help reduce depression.
