The immersion of cold water between 39 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for reducing pain or inflammation, and overall physical recovery.
The outstanding benefits of our Cold Plunge Therapy have been noted to enhance the following:
ELEVATE ENERGY/BOOSTED MOOD
Those looking for a jumpstart to their morning or afternoon have utilized cold plunging as a new way to boost their daily energy! Research shows that cold plunging is connected to our daily energy. Evidence shows that cold plunging increases norepinephrine (a lack of can contribute to depression), and boosts your overall mood!RECOVERY/PERFORMANCE
The benefits of cold plunging extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body. Sports medicine has utilized cold therapy for years to help the active recovery of your muscles.IMMUNE SUPPORT
Immersing the body in cold water stimulates leukocytes (the white blood cells that fight off sickness). Cold Plunge also causes the lymphatic system to contract - forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening the immune system.MOMENTUM
Cold plunging has shown the ability to increase your baseline dopamine (the molecule in our brain and body that is linked to motivation). Enhancing our depth of focus, and lowering our threshold for taking action toward specific goals.PAIN RELIEF
With the use of consistent cold plunging, research shows that cold plunging boosts norepinephrine by up to 5x. Overall dramatically reducing inflammation and chronic pain. Naturally restricting the blood vessels, submerging in cold water diminishes blood flow, and in turn, reduces muscle inflammation.STRESS RELIEF
Cold plunging has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. Ultimately reducing anxiety, and aiding in mood-boosting. As well, cold plunging teaches us how to mentally be adaptable to tackling hard things. Enduring the stresses released by the parasympathetic nervous system (when exposed to extreme cold) reduces daily stresses by taking conscious action on our stress responses.BETTER SLEEP
As your body enters the cold plunge your body triggers the autonomic nervous system. A network of vessels and nerves, this system controls your response to stress. As a result, using cold plunging as a therapy to control your stress response ultimately aids in better control of relaxation and sleep.
