Billed as the world’s first smart ice bath for home use, Monk has been described as the ‘Peloton of the recovery world’.
It’s designed to make cold water therapy easy and safe to do at home, providing personalised routines created by athletes and medical professionals that include extras such as breathwork and soundscapes.
Smart elements include guided dips, data tracking features and temperature control. With a £5,000 price tag, it’s not cheap, although it already apparently has a waiting list 3,000 customers long.
Numerous studies have shown the remarkable health benefits of cold water therapy. It can help with everything from mental health, muscle recovery time and physical performance, as well as boosting immunity, increasing metabolism and managing pain.
