COLD WATER THERAPY
Cold water therapy, also known as cold water immersion or cryotherapy, is a therapeutic practice that involves immersing the body in cold water or exposing it to cold temperatures for a certain duration. It is used to promote various health benefits and is often used by athletes, individuals seeking pain relief, or those looking to improve their overall well-being.
HOW DOES COLD WATER THERAPY WORK?
The therapy works by triggering physiological responses in the body, such as vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), increased heart rate, and the release of certain hormones and neurotransmitters. These responses are believed to have various benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving circulation, boosting the immune system, enhancing mood, and aiding in recovery after intense physical activity or injury.
BENEFITS OF COLD WATER THERAPY:
-
Increased circulation: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, which can help increase circulation and improve cardiovascular health.
-
Improved immunity: Cold water exposure can help stimulate the immune system and improve overall immunity.
-
Stress relief: Cold water can help reduce stress and anxiety by releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
-
Increased energy and mental clarity: Cold water can help increase energy and mental clarity by stimulating the release of adrenaline.
-
Improved mood: Cold water exposure can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
-
Increased endurance: Cold water swimming can help increase endurance and increase overall fitness level.


CONTRAST THERAPY
Contrast therapy is a method that alternates between two contrasting temperature treatments, usually involving hot and cold temperatures, to promote various health benefits. The most common approach involves alternating between hot and cold water immersion or applying hot and cold packs to specific areas of the body.
The theory behind contrast therapy is that the alternating temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict and dilate, which can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This process is thought to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the removal of metabolic waste from tissues.
Contrast therapy Schedule:
-
20 minute Infrared Sauna
-
Cold Water Plunge
-
Robe, Towel & Slippers
-
Post dip hot drink (tea, coffee or hot chocolate)
Contrast therapy is often used in sports medicine and physical therapy settings to help athletes recover from injuries or intense workouts. It's also sometimes used for general wellness purposes, such as reducing muscle soreness or promoting relaxation.
