A cold plunge tub is a compact, temperature-controlled tub designed for cold water immersion therapy. Unlike traditional ice baths, modern plunge tubs use built-in chillers to maintain consistent water temperatures — typically between 37°F and 55°F — for recovery, inflammation reduction, and mental well-being.
Cold plunge tubs offer a wide range of wellness benefits, including:
• Reduced inflammation and muscle soreness
• Improved circulation
• Faster athletic recovery
• Boosted mood and mental clarity
• Strengthened immune response
• Increased metabolic activity
