ICE BATH

Ice Bath Sessions at Strom Elite Performance Centre

Step into the cold and unlock the benefits of ice bath therapy. Whether you’re an athlete chasing faster recovery or someone looking for a natural way to boost wellbeing, our guided ice bath sessions give you the edge.

Why try an ice bath?

• Recover faster – reduce muscle soreness and inflammation after tough training

• Boost circulation & healing – support the body’s natural repair process

• Sharpen your focus – build mental resilience and improve stress tolerance

• Increase energy & clarity – step out feeling refreshed, awake, and recharged

Recommended Times:

• Recovery after training: 5–10 minutes at 10–15°C

• Performance & circulation boost: 3–5 minutes at 8–12°C

• Wellness & resilience: start with 1–3 minutes at 10–15°C, gradually building as you adapt

Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you’re safe, supported, and ready to make the most of every session.

When you arrive for your ice bath session, our team will guide you through the process step by step. We’ll explain how to prepare, show you simple breathing techniques, and make sure you feel comfortable before you get in. The first moments in the cold are always the most intense — your body reacts quickly — but with controlled breathing, you’ll find it easier to settle in. Sessions usually last just a few minutes, and you’ll be fully supported the whole way through. Afterwards, expect a rush of energy, clearer focus, and a deep sense of recovery that lasts long after you’ve stepped out.

Cold water immersion has been used for centuries to promote healing and resilience. Today, it’s backed by both science and experience as one of the most effective recovery and wellness tools available. When you step into an ice bath, your body reacts in ways that deliver powerful physical and mental benefits.

1. Reduces Muscle Soreness and Inflammation
After intense training, your muscles experience tiny tears that cause soreness (DOMS). Cold exposure narrows your blood vessels, reducing swelling and slowing down inflammation. Once you step out, your blood vessels open back up, flushing fresh oxygen and nutrients into the muscles — speeding up the repair process.

2. Boosts Circulation and Recovery
The contrast between cold immersion and warming back up afterwards gives your circulatory system a workout of its own. This helps remove metabolic waste (like lactic acid) more efficiently and brings in what your body needs to recover.

3. Enhances Mental Resilience
Sitting in icy water challenges both the body and mind. With controlled breathing and focus, you learn to stay calm under stress — a skill that carries over into training, competition, and everyday life. Over time, regular cold exposure strengthens your tolerance to stress and builds discipline.

4. Increases Energy and Alertness
Cold water stimulates your nervous system, triggering a release of adrenaline and endorphins. The result? A natural energy boost, improved mood, and sharper focus for the rest of the day.

5. Supports Overall Wellbeing
Beyond physical recovery, ice baths provide a reset for the mind. Many people use them to relieve stress, feel grounded, and create a sense of calm clarity. Just a few minutes can leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control.
