Brookfield LoCation Only

Cold water immersion, often referred to as a cold plunge, is a wellness practice where an individual immerses their body in cold water, typically between 50-59°F (10-15°C), for a short duration. This practice is believed to offer various health benefits, including improved circulation, reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, enhanced mood, and boosted immune function. Cold plunges are commonly used by athletes for recovery purposes and are also popular in spa and wellness routines for their invigorating and rejuvenating effects.

    Cardiovascular Issues: People with heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, or other cardiovascular conditions should avoid cold plunges as the sudden shock can increase heart rate and blood pressure, potentially leading to dangerous complications like heart attack or stroke​ (www.heart.org)​​ (ChestFreezerColdPlunge)​.

    Respiratory Conditions: Those with respiratory issues such as asthma, COPD, or chronic bronchitis might experience aggravated symptoms due to the rapid breathing triggered by cold water shock​ (ChestFreezerColdPlunge)​.
