About Cold Water Immersion Therapy
Cold Water Immersion Therapy, also known as cold plunge therapy, is a powerful wellness practice that helps reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and enhance mental clarity. By exposing the body to cold temperatures, this therapy activates the nervous system, boosts circulation, and strengthens resilience—helping you feel refreshed and revitalized. Our cold plunge therapy involves full immersion in cold water for 3-10 minutes, typically following a session in our infrared sauna. The water temperature ranges from 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 15°C).
