We tried Glasgow's Polar Bear Club's ice bath therapy and it left us feeling inspired

You might have heard of cold water therapy. You might even have seen the TV show Freeze the Fear, and its guru-like presenter, Wim Hof, but you might still not know much about this thrilling new trend that people believe can help those who need it battle everything from addiction to problems with mental health.

It's a fascinating space, and with Mental Health Awareness Week recently taking place, Glasgow Live decided to go out to speak to the city's own Polar Bear Club, who recently opened their headquarters in Finnieston, in a bid to expand their offering to help even more people.

The club, which has just under 4000 community members, hosts outdoor events throughout Scotland and offers a range of services to help those who struggle with addiction, alcoholism, and domestic abuse.
