Cold water therapy is one of the fastest, easiest, and most natural ways to reset your body and mind.

I have been a fan of cold water therapy since developing a passion for SUP, paddle boarding and enjoying its benefits. I have dipped at some beautiful locations but it's not always practical or convenient to travel for a dip regularly to experience benefits.

Through my work with Walking The Brecon Beacons, I was offered the opportunity to trial a Polar Recovery Tub. I have been for around 2 weeks. I like that it's portable and so easy to set up. I have been using it daily at home and while away camping. It's easy to clean, with a tap on the side and a plug on the floor.

The benefits I have experienced are physical and mental. I have improved my performance and recovery, resetting my body and mind and leaving me more alert /productive throughout the day. Other benefits of cold water therapy include it helps to relieve stress or anxiety, boosts your immune system and can help weight loss.

I have been increasing the time of my dip daily and can comfortably do over twelve minutes at around ten degrees wearing gloves and socks.

When I started dipping I read The Wim Hoff method which I recommend if you are considering trying cold water therapy. You can read more here

The Polar Recovery Tub isn't The Blue Lagoon but it certainly does make regular cold water sessions possible without having to travel.
