Cold Plunge

Cold plunge therapy uses controlled cold-water immersion to activate the body’s natural recovery and regulation systems. Brief exposure to cold temperatures can support inflammation response, circulation, and nervous-system resilience, helping the body adapt to stress more effectively over time. 

Benefits of Cold Plunge

Supports inflammation regulation and muscle recovery

Improves circulation and vascular response

What to Expect

Cold plunge sessions are intentionally structured to feel supportive, not overwhelming. A spa attendant will walk you through the process, including temperature, timing, and breathing guidance if needed. Sessions are brief and controlled, with time before and after to warm up and re-regulate. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, listen to your body, and treat the experience as intentional exposure; not endurance. 

The Science Snapshot
Cold plunge therapy works by briefly exposing the body to cold temperatures, which activates the nervous system and blood vessels. This causes blood vessels to constrict and then re-dilate as the body warms, supporting circulation and vascular function. Cold exposure also stimulates the release of norepinephrine and other neurotransmitters associated with alertness, focus, and stress resilience.
From a nervous-system perspective, controlled cold exposure can help train the body to respond to stress more efficiently, improving regulation over time. While cold plunge therapy is not a medical treatment, it is commonly used as a complementary recovery practice to support inflammation management, mental clarity, and adaptive stress response.
