COLD pLUNGE &
CONTRAST THERAPY
At Remedy Recovery Studio, our cold plunge experience is designed to invigorate your senses and rejuvenate your body. This practice, also known as cold water immersion, involves submerging your body in cold water between 50°F (10°C) and 59°F (15°C) for short intervals. This centuries-old tradition offers many health benefits, including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced muscle recovery, a boosted immune system, increased endorphin production, heightened mental focus, and stress relief.
To practice, one should gradually immerse in the cold water, starting with the feet and working up to the neck, while focusing on deep, steady breathing to manage the initial shock. Regular and consistent practice, even just a few times a week, can maximize the benefits. After the plunge, it is important to warm up gradually with a warm shower or sauna session to further promote relaxation and blood flow.
Contrast therapy, another offering at Remedy Recovery Studio, is revered by elite athletes for its health-boosting benefits. This therapy involves alternating between hot and cold treatments, typically starting with an ice bath followed by a session in an infrared sauna. The sudden temperature changes stimulate the mind, body, and immune system, leading to improved overall function.
The primary mechanism behind contrast therapy is the physiological response to heat and cold. Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, while cold causes them to constrict. This alternation creates a pumping action that enhances blood circulation, reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and improves joint mobility. By incorporating both cold plunges and contrast therapy into your wellness routine at Remedy Recovery Studio, you can experience the ultimate recovery and revitalization.
