Discover the invigorating and rejuvenating world of cold plunges.
Designed with simplicity and effectiveness, our range of ice baths cater to varying needs and are sure to give you the refreshing and revitalising effects they’re famous for.
From elevated mood to improved recovery and immunity, the benefits of cold plunges are real.
PERFORMANCE
Improved circulation
Cold water immersion promotes vasoconstriction, causing blood vessels to constrict and then dilate as you warm up. This process can help improve blood circulation, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues. A strategically timed ice bath prior to exercise can certainly ignite your motivation and literally help to get your blood pumping.
Elevated mood
Cold water immersion triggers the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters associated with improved mood and reduced stress. Many individuals report feeling an increase in energy, alertness, and a sense of well-being after a cold plunge. Observations have shown an increase in dopamine (the “feel good” brain chemical) of 200% and its positive effect lasting several hours.
RECOVERY
Reduce muscle inflammation
Intense exercise can lead to microscopic damage to muscle fibres, resulting in inflammation and soreness. Cold plunges stimulate vasoconstriction, causing blood vessels to narrow and reducing the flow of inflammatory substances to damaged muscles. This process effectively minimises muscle inflammation and accelerates the healing process, including reducing the severity and duration of Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Speedier lactic acid removal
During intense physical activity, lactic acid can build up in muscles, contributing to fatigue and soreness. Cold water immersion enhances the removal of lactic acid from muscles, helping to alleviate post-workout discomfort and stiffness.
Quickened tissue repair
Cold plunges stimulate the release of cytokines, proteins that regulate cell communication and facilitate tissue repair. This mechanism promotes faster healing of microtears in muscle fibers, aiding in recovery and reducing the risk of overuse injuries.
LONGEVITY
Enhanced immune system
Regular exposure to cold water has been linked to improved immune system function. The body responds to the stress of cold water by increasing the production of certain immune cells, potentially enhancing the body's defence mechanisms.
Improved mental resilience
Submersing yourself into cold water requires mental fortitude before even dipping your toe in, so the ability to consistently do this and overcome this mental and physical barrier helps to build mental resilience over time. The practice of facing discomfort and adapting to it can have positive effects on overall mental toughness, keeping your mind and body stronger for longer.
Boosted metabolism
Cold exposure can stimulate the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is responsible for burning calories to generate heat. Regular cold plunges may support weight management efforts by boosting metabolism. And a healthy weight can contribute to a healthier overall wellbeing which is believed to contribute to a longer lifespan.
