Please check the original science paper

Cold-water immersion during post-exercise recovery greatly reduces muscle microvascular perfusion and blunts post-prandial amino acid incorporation in muscle.

Many people turn to cold plunges after workouts, thinking it speeds up recovery — but both modern science and Chinese Medicine tell a different story.

❗️In TCM, “cold evil” (寒邪) is known to invade when the body is weak — especially after exercise when the pores are open and Yang Qi is depleted.
This can lead to muscle tightness, joint pain, fatigue, menstrual issues, poor digestion, and even chronic conditions if cold accumulates over time.

🔥 Your recovery should support warmth, circulation, and healing — not shock your system.

🧡 At Wonder Health, we use proven TCM therapies like acupuncture, cupping, and light therapy to help your body recover the right way.

New research suggests that your ice bath may starve your muscles of nutrients post-workout. Is it still worth the head rush?

🏀 Did you know NBA champions use acupuncture to keep playing at their best?
• LeBron James calls acupuncture ‘a game‑changer’ for speeding recovery after tough games.
• Stephen Curry uses it to manage wear‑and‑tear and stay flexible on the court.
• Chandler Parsons relied on acupuncture to relieve chronic back pain—and jumped right back in to win.

At Wonder Health, our sports acupuncture sessions offer the same customized support—reducing pain, improving mobility, and helping you get back in the game faster. DM us to learn more! 💪

Many NBA players swear by acupuncture and dry-needling. HoopsHype talks to a number of players about these alternative treatments, what they entail and how they’re beneficial.
