Sports Recovery
Used for post-exercise stiffness and accelerated recovery rates, the cold water causes the leg blood vessels to contract. After treatment the vessels dilate which generates a blood rush, ridding the muscles of metabolites, a consequence of exercise. By reducing these levels of metabolites such as lactic acid, the recovery time is greatly accelerated and the risk of muscle fatigue greatly reduced.
