How to use your cold plunge safely
Practising contrast therapy safely
To ensure you enjoy the benefits of contrast therapy safely, follow these guidelines:
Consult a healthcare professional: Before starting any new therapy, especially if you have health concerns, consult with a doctor or healthcare provider.
Gradual acclimatisation: Gradually acclimatise to both heat and cold temperatures to avoid shock. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase duration.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after sessions to prevent dehydration.
Monitoring body temperature: Be aware of your body's response and exit the sauna or plunge if you feel unwell.
Supervision: Always have someone nearby during sessions, especially when using cold plunges.
