How It Works?
At Rise & Plunge, we have four private studios, each equipped with an infrared sauna and ice bath.
You can book your 45-minute session and experience contrast therapy or if you’re short on time and looking for a quick pick-me-up, book yourself a 15-minute solo plunge session.
The Science Breakdown
Vasodilatory
Heat exposure triggers the release of vasodilatory substances, widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the targeted area. This delivers oxygen and nutrients to promote healing and reduce muscle tension.
Vasoconstriction
The cold stimulates the nervous system, releasing chemicals that cause blood vessels to constrict and restrict blood flow. This constriction may reduce inflammation and offer temporary pain relief.
Regulation
The body's natural mechanisms regulate blood flow throughout the cycle. The repeated widening and narrowing of blood vessels creates a "pumping" effect that might remove waste products and promote healing.
