Cold plunging—also known as cold water immersion—is a recovery practice that involves immersing the body in cold water (typically between 37°F–59°F / 3°C–15°C) for a short period (usually 2 to 5 minutes). It is widely used for physical recovery, mental resilience, and overall wellness. Cold plunging is based on the principle of hydrotherapy and triggers various physiological responses, such as

• Vasoconstriction: Blood vessels tighten, which can reduce inflammation and swelling.
• Nervous system stimulation: Activates the sympathetic nervous system, boosting alertness and mood.
• Hormesis: The body experiences a mild stressor that promotes adaptation and resilience.

How Cold Plunging at Healthspan Is Unique

1. No Ice Required
   The Plunge uses built-in chilling systems that cool the water to as low as 39°F (3.9°C) without requiring added ice and ensures a constant temperature for maximum results
2. Filtration System
   Includes advanced filtration with ozone sanitation and a 20-micron filter to keep water clean—unlike many of our competitors.
3. Aesthetics and Quality
   Sleek, modern design with durable construction for safety and effectiveness
