Cool Bath

Another method of cooling the body is a cold bath. This is also a safer and more effective form of cyrotherapy, and is often more therapeutic than using ice. A large bucket or small foot tub works well for areas such as the foot or hand. For leg, knee, hip, and other areas, a bathtub may be necessary. Add enough ice to prevent the water from getting warm. However, do not fill the tub with ice. Depending on the temperature of the water, you can keep your foot, leg, or other body area immersed between five and twenty minutes, with less time in colder water. A deep cold bath that cools the muscles is often one way to improve muscle imbalance, and can be more therapeutic than ice placed only on the area of discomfort. In warmer weather, you might want to stand or sit in a cold stream, river, or large body of water. Even if you’re not injured, a cold bath is a great way to speed recovery from long or hard training and competition. If you’re going to take a hot shower in this situation, end the shower by cooling the injured area with cold water.
