I am so lucky to have a career I love and being a professional jockey has so many rewards and equally as many challenges, and in such a competitive environment, I am more determined than ever to be at my best both physically and mentally.

Recovery is a huge part of my routine and cold water therapy has become such an integral part of my fitness and wellness programme allowing me to ride at the peak of fitness. That’s why I am delighted to have teamed up with Chill Tubs and having their plunge ice bath means I now have my own recovery unit at home.

Here are some of the key reasons and benefits why I use Chill Tubs cold water therapy:

1.Reduces Muscle Soreness: Cold water can help reduce muscle inflammation and pain after intense physical activities. This is why athletes often use ice baths to recover faster.
2.Improves Circulation: Immersing in cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, which helps flush away metabolic waste products. When the body warms up again, the vessels dilate, and an increased flow of oxygenated blood helps with healing and muscle recovery.
3.Boosts Immune System: Regular exposure to cold water has been linked to an increased level of white blood cells and other immune system cells that can help fight off illness.

4.Increases Metabolism: The cold triggers the body to warm up, which in turn increases the metabolic rate. This increase can help with weight loss as the body burns more calories to generate heat.
5.Enhances Mental Health: Cold water therapy can also impact mental health by increasing endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that are natural painkillers and mood elevators. It’s often cited as a method to combat depression and anxiety.
