Ice Baths – Why Use Cold Water Therapy?
Ice baths and cold water therapy are proving to be a necessary part of serious athletic training and rehab programs. Here at Cold Tub ® we design and manufacture cryotherapy equipment for professional sport teams, universities, serious athletes and the US military. Our Polar Pool ® model ice bath is our most popular model. It is completely self contained, fits through a standard doorway, and plugs into a 110 volt power socket. Stop hauling ice, wasting time and reduce the risk of infection now!
