Cryotherapy and regular ice baths share common benefits like inflammation reduction and immune system enhancement. Cryotherapy offers convenience as it doesn't involve getting wet and is easily accessible at local cryo centres. However, the cost may deter regular use for many individuals. Ice baths provide a stronger cold shock response, which elicits various benefits. Although cryo is generally physically and mentally easier, it may offer a different intensity than ice baths, and depending on your goal, you will prefer one over the other. We recommend trying both and choosing what works best for you. In the Wim Hof Method, we focus on cold water immersion, using ice baths or natural cold water instead of cryotherapy.
