Cold Water Therapy
Reset the Body. Sharpen the Mind. Embrace the Cold.
Cold immersion is a powerful wellness practice designed to enhance physical recovery, mental clarity, and nervous system balance. Whether experienced on its own or as part of our Contrast Experience, the cold plunge offers a controlled challenge with lasting benefits. Your session takes place in a calm, controlled studio environment with bath temperatures maintained between 8–12°C, aligning with established world best-practice guidelines.
The Benefits of Cold Immersion
Improved Circulation
Cold immersion rapidly cools the body’s core, causing blood vessels to constrict and then dilate upon exiting. This vascular response enhances blood flow, flushes metabolic waste, improves oxygen delivery, and supports cardiovascular health—helping reduce inflammation, muscle fatigue, and restore energy levels.
Enhanced Recovery
By limiting swelling and tissue breakdown, cold immersion supports faster muscle recovery after intense physical activity and promotes optimal physical performance.
Immune System Support
Cold exposure stimulates leukocyte activity, strengthening the body’s natural immune defenses and resilience.
Mental & Emotional Regulation
Cold immersion triggers the release of dopamine (mood & motivation) and noradrenaline (focus & alertness), enhancing mental clarity, emotional resilience, and sustained energy. Regular sessions may also reduce stress, support nervous system balance, and improve sleep quality.
Recommended Protocol
For best results, we recommend accumulating up to ~11 minutes of cold exposure per week. Split this across multiple sessions or shorter intervals (1–4 minutes) with warming breaks. We recommend a water temperature of 8–12 °C and listening to your body at all times.
First-time guests receive clear guidance on breathing, timing, and entry, while experienced guests are free to immerse independently. Sessions are self-paced, with rest and recovery time encouraged between immersions.
Who It’s For
Cold immersion is suitable for most healthy adults and benefits:
Active individuals and athletes
Those seeking improved recovery and performance
Anyone looking to build stress resilience and mental clarity
If you have cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure concerns, or are pregnant, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before participating.
Letting your body warm up naturally after cold exposure — rather than immediately heating it externally — forces your metabolism to stay active, boosts brown fat activation and calorie burn, improves circulation and thermoregulation, and deepens the metabolic and resilience benefits of the cold plunge.” Søberg Institute+2House of Senti+2
Key physiological reasons behind this approach:
❄️ Cold triggers brown fat activation, which uses energy to generate heat; natural reheating prolongs that metabolic work. Søberg Institute
❄️ Letting your body work to warm itself enhances thermogenesis (heat production) and ongoing calorie burning. House of Senti
