Interested in exploring the amazing health benefits of cold water therapy? The scientifically backed benefits to cold water therapy are vast and undeniable. My son, Michael J. McCarthy will attest. Michael is impressively passionate about the benefits of cold water therapy and has been practicing cold water daily for over 4 years. Whether in the bathtub filled with ice, submerging himself in a freezer chest, or cutting through several inches of ice to take a dip in a frozen pond in the dead of winter, Michael has made the cold a part of his life.
As a devoted practitioner and committed believer, Michael started influencing family and friends to take the plunge, eventually leading Michael to host local popups, workshops and events sharing the numerous health benefits the cold water provides in addition to the power of breath-work. Through his personal experience, skillful knowledge and gentle demeanor, Michael has lead numerous workshops guiding curious people through breathing techniques followed by cold water. It has truly been transformational witnessing people who never imagined they could get into a bath filled to the brim with ice, stay in for over 6, 10, 12 minutes! That power and strength is within each of us. We already house all of the tools we need to get through the discomfort, even when we don’t believe it.
