The ice tubs are great. We used those in college and after showering you would stand in them, as deep as you were willing, for as long as you were willing. When coming out your legs would feel great as the cold helped remove the acids built up from running apparently.

The other was the ice bath where it was a stainless steel tub with a seat and something similar to a trolling motor to circulate the water. You didn't have a choice to not go in to your waist on this one, especially when it was a hip issue you were trying to treat. After that you were too numb to know if your legs felt better. Let's just say it was easy to be offended when you were sitting in there and a trainer dumped in a bunch more ice.
