Cold Water Immersion
Cold water immersion, also known as cold water therapy, is a practice that involves submerging the body in cold water for a short period. It has gained popularity for its potential benefits in recovery, muscle soreness reduction, and mental well-being. When exposed to cold water, the body undergoes physiological changes, including increased blood flow to the core, reduced inflammation, and the release of endorphins. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest that cold water immersion may improve athletic performance, reduce muscle damage, and enhance mood.
​
Cold water immersion in a Spa creates a "dynamic duo" for holistic well-being. The contrast between the heat of a sauna, steam room, spa or hot tub, and the invigorating chill of cold water immersion, offers a unique experience. The heat dilates blood vessels, improving circulation and muscle relaxation, while the cold water constricts them, reducing inflammation and promoting faster recovery. This cyclical process of hot and cold enhances blood flow, flushes out toxins, and rejuvenates the body. Additionally, the combination can boost mental clarity, reduce stress, and improve mood!​​
