Plunge® Ice Bath

The Benefits of Plunge®

RECOVERY / PERFORMANCE

Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years to help the active recovery of your muscles. The cold temperature reduces swelling/inflammation and tissue breakdown and has the ability to shift lactic acid.

ELEVATED ENERGY

If you’re looking for a quick start to your morning or an afternoon pick me up, skip the caffeine - a cold plunge is a great way to get motivated by increasing the neurotransmitters that  regulate attention, focus and energy.

IMMUNE SUPPORT

Being immersed in cold water stimulates leukocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off sickness. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening your immune system.

MOMENTUM

Cold plunging has shown the ability to increase your baseline dopamine. Dopamine is the molecule in our brain and body that is linked to motivation. Dopamine can enhance your depth of focus and improve mood, making it easier to attain your fitness goals. 

PAIN RELIEF

Consistent cold plunges can boost norepinephrine up to 5 times its normal levels. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce swelling and inflammation and help with chronic pain. 

STRESS RELIEF

Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. Ice baths have been shown to help reduce anxiety and depression and boost mood by regulating hormone levels.

BETTER SLEEP

 Plunging  triggers the autonomic nervous system. This system also controls your response to stress. Control your response to stress, and you’ll begin to control your relaxation and sleep patterns.
