A woman who spent "months in pain" has revealed how submerging herself in an ice tank "healed" her back injury when nothing else worked. Christina Doviak, 39, a broadcast systems engineer from Newquay, Cornwall, first began suffering with "horrendous" back spasms in June.
When not even medication eased the horrific symptoms, she felt at a loss. One day, she came across an outdoor Nordic-influenced spa and decided to plunge her body into an ice bath, alternated with a hot sauna, repeating the process over and over to 'shock' her body.
Just a week later, Christina claims the spasms that had haunted her for months had all but disappeared. "I never considered using the ice tank before as I suffer with the cold anyway due to poor blood circulation," she said.
