There are various physical and mental health benefits to cold plunging with the most supported evidence related to muscle recovery! If you are finished crushing a workout here at the Fitness Factory, your next move should be right into our PDC Spas X-DEGREE model cold plunge.
Your time in the tub can vary from 1-10 minutes, and if you are concerned with your recovery, post-workout or your mental well-being, the cold plunge is a less expensive (and much wetter!) version of our cryo-chamber. Cold water immersion is a popular method of recovery due to its ability to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
The cold temperature causes blood vessels to constrict, slowing blood flow, reducing swelling and inflammation in muscles. Because of this reduced blood flow to inflamed areas, our cold plunges can alleviate pain as well and can be beneficial for individuals with inflammatory conditions and chronic pain. Improved circulation is the body’s response to cold water immersion, so when exiting, the widening of the vessels occurs and this process helps retrain the circulatory system promoting better blood flow. Enhanced metabolism and immune system support are among the many benefits to cold water immersion therapy as well.
Take the plunge and recover with our state-of-the-art cold plunge tubs.
