Cold Therapy & The Benefits

Cold therapy, or cold water immersion, involves briefly exposing the body to cold temperatures to activate natural healing and resilience. It’s a simple yet powerful tool for both physical recovery and mental clarity. In fact, it’s a key part of daily life in many Nordic countries often credited as one of the reasons behind their long, healthy, and disease-free lives.

Reduces inflammation and supports muscle recovery

In this session, you’ll be gently guided through the cold plunge with breathwork to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. You’ll be fully supported and monitored throughout, with the freedom to step out at any time.
