How It Works



For hundreds of years, the use of sea water has been recognised and hailed as an aid to the treatment and prevention of leg problems. Cold sea water in particular boasts an anti-inflammatory effect which facilitates healing and helps protect against injury. As a result people have been trying for decades to re-create the effects of exposure to cold sea water in a controlled manner.

The Cold Spa succeeds fast, long term, hydrotherapy treatment thorough a combination of various factors.

· The cold water (set between 2°c and 4°c)
· aeration (providing the massaging element)
· salt (greatly renowned as an established general healer and acts as a poultice, drawing out
fluid).

Clinical trials have shown that all of these together provide an unusually high level of oxygen in the water, which is thought to aid healing further still. Crucial is the ultra-cool temperature and the ultra salinity of the water, which together improve upon the therapeutic qualities of either sea water or running fresh water in their natural states.

This machine is the business, we use it so much that our running club is going to buy one. It's great for freshing up legs just before a race and also for just after a race to prevent major muscle strain and tiredness. My performance has improved so much.
