Cryotherapy (cold therapy) has been used successfully for decades to slow down inflammatory processes in the body and shorten the regeneration time in sports, thus providing better competition and training sessions.
Most athletes use the classic ice bath or ice bucket. This is certainly an excellent method for the body and circulation. But if your goal is to effectively cool the entire leg and gluteal muscles, for example to prevent muscle soreness, there is a simpler, cheaper and more innovative method.
Ice bathing can be very time-consuming - especially in warmer seasons. We at icebein have developed a better alternative for your entire leg and buttock muscles. In this blog, you'll find out why our icebein recovery set beats the classic ice bath in many categories.
The icebein recovery system is much more comfortable
In classic ice bathing, there is direct contact between skin and water , which can be very unpleasant and can also lead to so-called cold burns. With the icebein recovery system, the water only circulates through our 100% skin-friendly cooling pad, which lies against your skin when you wear the pants (find out more here more about how the icebein recovery system works). This way, only the temperature comes into contact with your skin and not the cold water directly. This makes it possible to use cold therapy without having to sit in cold water. Thanks to the icebein cooling pad, the application is perceived as much more pleasant and a 20-minute session is usually possible without any problems.
This has the advantage that a cold application with icebein is usually carried out for significantly longer than the ice bath, which means that the cooling can effectively penetrate into the muscle tissue . For beginners in particular, an effective cold session is much more pleasant and can be endured for longer. Don't get me wrong, the classic ice bath is certainly a good - if not the best - method to strengthen your immune system, increase your well-being and boost your regeneration.
But if you want to specifically cool your entire leg and buttock muscles to reduce swelling and prevent sore legs, then the icebein Recovery System is much more effective .
Independent of place and time
It is becoming more and more popular. The classic ice bath season. From the beginning of October to the end of September, more and more athletes and professional sportsmen prefer ice bathing as a method of regeneration. After training, it's off to the cold lake or the rain barrel. But what actually happens in summer? In most cases, attempts are made to replace ice bathing with a rain barrel filled with cold water, but this does not come anywhere close to the temperatures of an ice bath in winter. In addition, a rain barrel filled with crash ice in the garden is usually very expensive and involves a lot of effort. In comparison, the icebein chiller enables constant cooling that is INDEPENDENT of the outside temperature.
Whether in the studio, at home on the sofa or on the go, you can use the icebein recovery system whenever and wherever you want and your cryotherapy application is not dependent on external circumstances. So you can cool whenever, wherever and however you see fit.
Let the cooling work for you and not the other way around
The icebein Recovery System offers the possibility to individually adjust the temperature as desired and even vary it during a treatment. Regardless of the time and weather, the system effectively and constantly cools the water to your desired temperature. This means you can adjust the cooling individually for yourself at the touch of a button and do not have to adapt to the water temperature or the weather.
Simpler, safer, cheaper
Turn on the chiller, put on your pants and off you go. Sounds easy and it is. No driving to the lake, no changing in the cold or no trip to the gas station to get crash ice. The icebein recovery system only needs 10 minutes to cool the water down to 5 degrees and your session can start straight away.
