After all the snow is shoveled, what are you gonna do? Some people think it’s crazy, but… Cold therapy can have several benefits, including: Pain relief Cold therapy can reduce swelling and pain, especially around joints and tendons. Muscle soreness Cold water immersion can reduce muscle soreness and inflammation after exercise. Improved circulation Cold water constricts blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the body's core and vital organs. This can help muscles recover faster after exercise. Mood enhancement Cold exposure can increase dopamine levels, which can improve mood, focus, and energy. Immune system boost Cold temperatures may activate the body's innate immune response. Metabolism increase The body expends energy to stay warm in cold water, which can increase metabolism and burn a small amount of calories. Cold therapy can also help with: mental meditation and sleep. However, cold therapy can damage skin, tissue, and nerves if applied for too long
