You don’t have to join your local chapter of the Polar Bear Club, or even be a marathoner, to enjoy the benefits of a cold plunge. Long before internet-viral challenges, cold hydrotherapy has been a staple in several wellness traditions for some millennia, and now the Ice Barrel lets you take this tried-and-true practice home. You can sit upright in the barrel, as any physical therapist would recommend, which also has a solid lid that keeps cold in and debris out. It even comes with an anti-UV cover.
Whether you’re training, managing pain, or studying for finals (many say that hydrotherapy is excellent for improving brain function), the non-slip step lets you safely get in. And once your inflammation is down and your synapses are firing, you can use the easy drainage system to refresh your water for the next session.
