Ice Baths for Pain, Hypertrophy, and Mental Health?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ice baths and cold therapy are everywhere right now, from pro athletes to wellness influencers swearing by them. But do they really work the way people claim? In this video, I take a closer look at the evidence behind ice baths and break down what the science actually says about their impact on recovery, training, and wellbeing.
We’ll explore the three main reasons people turn to cold exposure: pain relief, muscle growth, and mental health.
My goal is to give you a clear, evidence-based perspective you can actually use. Whether you’re thinking about turning to cryotherapy for recovery, wondering if it could affect your training results, or curious about its role in mental health, this video will give you the context you need to make an informed decision.
