This will depend on entirely on you and your specific needs. When you’re first starting out with ice bath immersions, begin with briefer immersions. 1-4 minutes in the ice bath, followed by 1-4 minutes in the warm/hot water is ideal. As your body becomes more accustomed to the temperature changes, you can gradually increase the duration of each immersion if you wish to.
It is also important to note that the ideal ice bath immersion duration will depend on the intensity of exercise you engage with and your individual recovery needs. For example, if you are an athlete who engages in intense training on a regular basis, you may need longer durations of immersion. On the other hand, if you are someone who engages in moderate physical activity, shorter durations may be sufficient. If you’re concerned, a healthcare professional can provide guidance on the appropriate duration of immersion, as well as any necessary precautions or modifications to the therapy based on your individual needs.
Ice bath therapy is a beneficial way to support your overall health and recovery, but it’s essential to start slowly and not overdo it. We recommend beginning with 1-2 sessions per week and gradually increasing the frequency as your body adapts to the changes in temperature. This approach will allow your body to adjust to the therapy without any adverse effects.
Ultimately, the frequency that works best for you will depend on your personal circumstances and schedule. Some of our customers come every day while others only make it once a week. Remember that every session of ice bath therapy counts, so whatever you can squeeze into your schedule is doing your body and your health a big old favour.
Absolutely. Cold plunge works especially well with sauna and compression therapy for full body recovery. Always do so with care and be mindful of your body’s response. Consult your doctor if you have medical conditions or concerns.
If you have medical conditions such as Raynaud’s disease or cold urticaria, it’s crucial to consult with your doctor before attempting an ice bath. These conditions can heighten sensitivity to cold temperatures, necessitating extra care. However, you can still indulge in warm pools, infrared saunas, and recovery lounges.
When beginning ice bath therapy, it’s advisable to proceed cautiously and gradually increase immersion times, especially in the cold plunge pools. If you experience any discomfort or uncertainty, it’s always prudent to consult with your doctor before continuing with contrast therapy.
Although ice baths can help alleviate pain and inflammation from injuries, it’s essential to use them properly, and depending on the injury, under the supervision of a healthcare provider. The cold and ice pools aid in reducing inflammation by constricting blood vessels, which can reduce pain and recovery time. However, it’s crucial to remember that ice baths, may not be suitable for everyone. People with medical conditions such as Raynaud’s disease or cold urticaria should avoid exposure to cold temperatures. If you have any pre-existing health conditions, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.
Before attempting ice bath therapy, it’s crucial to take into account your personal health requirements and circumstances. Cold temperatures, in particular, can exacerbate symptoms of chronically poor circulation so it’s recommended that you speak with a healthcare professional beforehand if you have a medically identified circulation problem. You may prefer to stick to the warmer therapies on our menu.
If you’ve received clearance for cold water therapy from your healthcare professional and have poor circulation, it’s best to start gradually. Begin with shorter immersion periods and gradually extend them. You may also find it beneficial to warm up your body in a warm or hot plunge pool or infrared sauna before entering the cold or ice bath.
It is not recommended to engage in ice bath therapy during pregnancy due to the potential harm it may cause to both the mother and the baby. Although there are no known contraindications for ice bath immersion while breastfeeding, it is still advisable to exercise caution. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to receive personalised advice and guidance based on your individual situation.
