As a fitness expert, ice therapy can induce the following mental and physical benefits;
Help in muscle and joint recovery after workouts
Ice therapy can help combat sore joints, muscles, and tissue injuries after exercises as it lowers inflammation-reducing acute pain in the affected injuries. In the long run, ice therapy can be used to cure chronic strain injuries.
It can quicken muscle recovery and boost physical performance.
Ice therapy can help reduce anxiety, stress, and depression
When we get into ice-cold water, the brain stimulates the production of more dopamine, endorphins, and adrenaline hormones. These neurotransmitters have a positive impact on elevating mood, which improves anxiety, stress, and depression symptoms. The cold water helps the body and brain calm, altering how the body fights anxiety.
It may improve brain function.
Ice therapy activates how we respond to stress and brain recovery by triggering the sympathetic nervous system improving brain function and mood.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
