Ice Bath Galway
Hot Tub & Plunge Pool (Contrast Therapy)
HOT TUB
As well as being super relaxing, there are a whole host of physical and mental benefits to hot tub use!
The heat widens blood vessels, which sends nutrient-rich blood throughout your body. Warm water also brings down swelling and loosens tight muscles. And the water’s buoyancy takes the weight off painful joints. A dip in the hot tub might also help your mental state!
ICE BATH
Immersing the body in cold water is an efficient way of cooling down multiple groups of muscles at the same time. It reduces swelling and muscle damage from exercise by constricting blood vessels and decreasing metabolic activity. It also reduces strain on the cardiovascular system and brings down hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), which can reduce fatigue.
Another beneficial part of the process comes after the cold stimulus has been removed. During this warming period, there is a return of fresh blood to the body, which floods the cells with nutrients and oxygen, and helps to flush out the waste products of tissue breakdown!
