Controlled cold and heat for recovery, regeneration, and deliberately applied thermal stimuli
A classic ice bath can generate cold. What is frequently missing is control over the stimulus.
Ice has to be procured and refilled, the water temperature changes during use, and repeatable protocols are only possible to a limited extent. Especially in hotels, recovery areas, sports facilities, or with regular private use, a simple ice bath quickly becomes a logistical effort.
The Avantopool turns water immersion into a controllable system: set the desired temperature, keep it constant, and switch between cold and heat therapies as needed.
Important to know: A single pool does not transition from extreme cold to intense warmth within a few minutes. Anyone wishing to implement traditional contrast treatments with an immediate switch between cold and warm ideally combines two pools into a dual-pool system.
Cold and heat provide different physiological stimuli. The key is not to stress the body as extremely as possible, but rather to apply temperature, duration, and timing to suit the desired goal.
Cold water immersion is used in particular after intense physical exertion and can influence subjective recovery and muscle soreness. At the same time, the autonomic nervous system reacts significantly to the cold stimulus.
Heat applications, on the other hand, are often used for relaxation, thermal comfort, and as part of recovery and regeneration routines.
Therefore, the great advantage of the Avantopool lies in its controllability: the user decides which thermal stimulus makes sense at the moment—and can repeat it under defined conditions.
Cold Therapy / Cold Water Immersion: Research shows interesting effects on recovery after intense exertion, particularly in sports. Studies and meta-analyses report, among other things, reduced muscle soreness and changes in certain recovery markers. Acute parasympathetic reactivation after physical exertion has also been investigated using heart rate variability.
Heat Applications / Hot Water Immersion: Heat produces a fundamentally different physiological stimulus than cold. Research includes thermal adaptation responses, recovery, and the effects of repeated heat applications. The results depend heavily on temperature, duration, type of exercise, and objectives.
Contrast baths: The targeted alternation between cold and warm water has long been a part of athletic recovery protocols. Studies show potential benefits for individual subjective recovery parameters. However, a general superiority over all other recovery methods cannot be scientifically derived.
Therefore, the decisive factor is not „more stimulus,“ but the right stimulus at the right time.
Avantopool in detail
The application takes place in a pool system specially developed for controlled cold and heat applications. Depending on the model, various sizes, equipment options, and solutions are available for private or professional applications.
Duration of use: depending on temperature, experience, and individual goal. Especially in intense cold, the duration should be controlled and adapted to the user.
Which Avantopool system fits best depends on, what, how often, and for what purpose it should be used.

After twelve years with a classic physical therapy table, I wanted an upgrade. In many top spas, I kept coming across Gharieni treatment tables, which is why I really wanted to try these tables out for myself.
At MTR, I was not only able to compare different models, but even bring patients along to test them out. The professional exchange with Olga, the straightforward communication, and the expert support made my decision easy.
Today my patients are thrilled with the comfort of the Gharieni table. The well-thought-out details, such as the headrest, the pleasant padding, and the table heating, make a noticeable difference for me and my patients. Gharieni fulfills all my requirements as a medical massage therapist and equally those of my patients.

I was already very familiar with MTR Equipments from previous professional activities. When I opened my new cosmetics institute after moving to the Principality of Liechtenstein, it was clear to me that I wanted to rely on quality, competence, and reliability for the equipment. My institute was built from the ground up, furnished to a high standard, and positioned in the upscale segment. Therefore, I consciously decided to realize the furnishings and modern technologies wherever possible with products from MTR – including treatment tables and trolleys from Gharieni, the Satori Neurolounger, and innovative devices such as the Plasma Light Hood and the Stendo Body.
I particularly appreciate the comprehensive advice, the customer-friendly service, and the professional support provided by MTR. I feel very well looked after and can recommend MTR Equipments with conviction.
