Deliberate Cold Exposure: 

→ How Cold Therapy Optimizes Recovery and Performance

Research investigating the effects of cold-water immersion on physiological responses suggests that even a short exposure to cold water triggers a cascade of adaptive biochemical and physiological reactions that have beneficial effects on the immune system, circulatory system, and motor functions (Yankouskaya et al, 2023).

Cold exposure triggers a cascade of physiological responses that positively impact the nervous system, metabolism, and muscle recovery. When the body is exposed to cold, it activates the sympathetic nervous system, stimulating an increase in norepinephrine levels— a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in focus, mood, and stress adaptation.

  • When exposed to cold water, blood vessels constrict, and upon rewarming, they dilate. This process enhances vascular flexibility, improving circulation and cardiovascular function over time.

  • Regular cold exposure has been linked to lower blood pressure, improved blood flow, and enhanced metabolic efficiency

INFRARED SAUNA

QUESTIONS?

  • An infrared sauna heats your body directly rather than heating the air around you. It makes it feel more comfortable and easier to breathe in. The average infrared sauna temperature is between 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average traditional sauna temperature is 150-190 degrees Fahrenheit.

To Sauna or to Cold Plunge? (Or Both?!)

→ If reducing inflammation, pain and swelling is the goal, choose cold plunge therapy

→ If promoting muscle relaxation and blood flow is the goal, choose Infrared Sauna

Heat therapy improves circulation, enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, and promotes muscle relaxation—all of which help reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.

 Best Practice:

✔ Use FAR infrared sauna therapy for 15-30 minutes post-workout.

✔ Hydrate well to support detoxification and tissue repair.
