FAQ’s
A few things to know before your first visit to the Recovery Room. Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
COLD PLUNGE
-
Please wear a swimsuit as you will be fully immersed in a cold tub and please shower before entering the plunge.
-
We schedule 15 min increments, however 3 minutes is the recommended time to plunge. Having said that you can stay in for 30 seconds up to 10 minutes, depending on what your body and mind will allow that day.
-
It is recommended that you plunge 11 minutes a week to see the full physical benefits, that can be diced up however you want or have the time for. With that said there is also something to be said about a good routine and challenging yourself daily!
-
Some of the benefits of using a cold plunge may include pain relief, recovery, mental focus, body health, lowering inflammation in the body, and better sleep.

Expect to embrace being uncomfortable with huge rewards! The best way is to, “rip the bandaid off” and submerge your body into the water, above chest level (Some love to also quickly dunk their head, either at the beginning or end. This is up to you and how much you feel like challenging yourself that day). Your body and mind are going to tell you to GET OUT!! Ignore this and focus on your breathing (box breathing), remain calm as the first 90-120 seconds are always the hardest. Once you have completed your time in the tub, expect to feel amazing, filled with energy and have an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
