Cold Plunges

WHY A COLD PLUNGE POOL?

There are two common ways in which why people all around the world have adopted regular bouts of cold therapy into their daily lives. 

  • Contrast Therapy (or hot/cold therapy): is the act of subjecting your body to bouts of heat followed by cold temperatures. This allows your body to more quickly recover through the act of flushing blood to your extremities (hot) followed by drawing the blood from your extremities back into the body's core (cold). Repeating this process several times helps to flush muscles and capillary beds of things like lactic acid, necrotic debris, and other things that slow recovery down and prevent peak performance. The heated portion of this can be done through the use of saunas, steam rooms or hot tubs. 

  • Ice Bathing / Cold Swimming: is the act of subjecting your entire body to a single bout of cold water for an extended period of time. Although this has been popularised in more recent years by people such as Wim Hof this practice of using cold water for therapeutic reasons dates back to Ancient Greece, and extends through the rest of history, including in Finnish, Swedish and Scandinavian cultures who combine this practice with the regular use of a sauna. 

At Cedar Spring Recreation we're committed to bringing the best outdoor products to New Zealand and Australia so people can optimise their own health and wellness in the privacy of their own backyard.

Both of these items are most commonly paired with one of our outdoor saunas or hot tubs.
