Why Cold Plunge?

Ice baths, also known as cold water immersion, have been used for various purposes, primarily in the field of sports and recovery but are now infiltrating the daily lives of our general population. The reason being is the long list of health benefits it provides for one plunge a day.

Cold water immersion has a vasoconstrictive effect, which means it narrows the blood vessels, reducing blood flow and minimizing swelling and inflammation in the body. This can be beneficial for managing chronic conditions, such as arthritis. While ice baths initially constrict blood vessels, when you exit the cold water, your body responds by dilating blood vessels to warm up the tissues. This dilation can help improve circulation.

Enduring an ice bath can be mentally challenging, and many individuals use it as a tool to develop mental toughness, discipline, and focus.

We encourage the use of cold water exposure gradually and to seek medical advice before using to ensure it is suitable for you.
