COLD WATER IMMERSION with RUI UNAS and TENSAIICE IMMERSION BATH with RUI UNAS and TENSAI. HOW DID IT ALL START?

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THERAPEUTIC ICE IMMERSION

What is the ice bath for?
Ice baths reduce inflammation and improve recovery by changing the way blood and other fluids pass through the body. So, when you're in ice water, your blood vessels constrict, and when you get out, they dilate. This is a process that helps purify lymph, a fluid made up of blood cells and intestinal fluid.

Additionally, this technique can help in other situations. From a mental point of view, we are challenging the body by exposing it to different stressors and stimuli, which make it more resilient and prepare it for different challenges in the future.

BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH ICE BATHS:

In general terms, the benefits associated with ice baths have been described and grouped as follows:

GENERAL HEALTH 

• • • Support for the immune system;
    • Increased blood flow;
    • Reduction of chronic pain;
    • Increased metabolism;
    • Improved sleep quality

MENTAL FITNESS

• • • Allows a boost in energy;
    • Practice discipline and concentration;
    • Promote a state of greater resilience.

RECOVERY 

• • • Reduce inflammation;
    • Reduce muscle pain;
    • Performance improvement.

WIM HOF is a contemporary forerunner of ice baths!
Born April 20, 1959, also known as The Iceman, is a Dutch motivational speaker and extreme athlete known for his ability to withstand low temperatures.

THE METHOD:

The aim of the Wim Hof breathing technique^® is to teach you how to develop mastery over your nervous, immune and cardiovascular systems to help you be happier, stronger and healthier.

Put in simpler terms, the Wim Hof Method^® is a way to keep your body and mind in their optimal natural state.
For most of our evolutionary history, a merciless natural environment automatically did it for us: sub-zero temperatures, howling winds and hungry wolves kept our muscles and veins supple as well as our minds sharp and clear.

In a parallelism with today, issues such as sedentary lifestyles, abusive use of technologies as facilitators of human tasks, time consuming television and apps on cell phones and even greater comfort in everyday life, drastically reduce the natural defenses that are no longer on high alert. Such exposure seems to result in a greater predisposition for the rest of our body to wither away in the absence of moments.

As a result, these natural defenses are no longer on high alert. We get sick more easily and variables such as stress, loss of sleep, lack of focus and even lack of energy become part of our daily lives.

STANDARD FEATURES OF THE TENSAI ICE ARK by LORD OF THE ICE.

• • • GREATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL via a digital controller. The temperature controller thus ensures that the freezer is only operating if the water temperature is above the desired water temperature, which you have set;
    • USE OF UV-C LIGHT is a well-known disinfectant that neutralizes viruses and bacteria;
    • RAPID COOLING OF WATER TEMPERATURE even without the aid of ice (less than 12 hours for temperatures around 2°C). The temperature drop can be facilitated dramatically by adding ice.
      The highly effective insulation of the cabinet ensures greater efficiency in maintaining a constant water temperature with less energy expenditure;
    • FILTRATION AND SANITATION SYSTEMSThis reduces water wastage and increases the use cycle. This system circulates the water, which is good for water quality. Small particles, such as from skin or hair are thus retained by the filter system.
      Additionally water filtration will have a big impact on the water quality of your ice bath. Every two weeks (depending on the use of the ice bath), you can simply remove the cartridge and clean it with a water hose. The pump is always running, except while you are using the bath (ATTENTION: you should always turn it off beforehand);
    • GFCI PROTECTION to avoid electric shocks; (WARNING: always switch off the appliance beforehand);
    • LID WITHOUT SELF-CLOSING MECHANISM (so that the user is not locked inside).

This equipment is based on our ice cream cabinets and not the traditional domestic cabinet, the latter often used in DYI projects. Such equipment selection allows for higher performance rates in line with the most demanding mode of use in a commercial / professional context.

CUSTOMIZATION, DESIGN and BRAND DIFFERENTIATION:

TENSAI often develops standard designs for the products that it sells or provides this service for the brands with which it works to develop customized design solutions for the equipment they purchase. With the possibility of digital screen printing directly applied to the equipment plate, TENSAI stands out for the image quality of its products to promote the brands it works with around the world.

Put your logo on this piece of equipment and make sure it's never forgotten! This flexibility allows for a unique product.

This digital printing solution allows our team of designers to create virtually any design or pattern in a multitude of colors. This pushes design boundaries beyond functional elements with minimal investment, allowing our OEM | PRIVATE LABEL customers to stand out from the competition with unique and colorful designs.

RECOMMENDATIONS (depending on the level of the user): 

• • • • Ice bath at 15°C for 4 - 6 minutes;
      • Ice bath at 3°C for 20 to 40 seconds.

ENTRY INTO THE ICE BATH 

For a user around 180 cm tall, you can easily grip the edges of the tub and get in.
If you are smaller, then something small to lean on might be useful. On the inside of the ice bath, there is something that looks like the step of a swimming pool, but it is not that. This is where the compressor of the chest is located, so it is best to avoid stepping on it. For this purpose we also have a step outside the chest to assist the user when entering the bath.

EXIT FROM THE ICE BATH 

When leaving the ice bath, we recommend making sure that there is no water dripping down the outer parts of the ice maker. Some water drops will definitely end up on the edges and ideally you should wipe them off before closing the lid.
Otherwise, the edges may start to release some kind of odor within a few weeks.

WARNING NOTE

You should not use this or any other therapy without prior medical approval. Ice immersion should be done under the guidance of a qualified professional and even a doctor to avoid harm to your health.
