With water temperatures maintained at 50-55 degrees, the Therapeutic Cold Plunge is
reported to alleviate muscle soreness caused by intense exercise.
The Cold Plunge is an exclusive benefit to Members of the Men’s Health Club.

Cold water triggers the autonomic nervous system which
controls involuntary functions, such as heartbeat and breathing,
raising blood pressure, increasing heart rate and constricting
blood vessels.
*Enhances immunity:
Cold water stimulates the release of cytokines and other
hormone-like substances that are vital to immune function.
*Reduces pain:
Cold causes the body to release endorphins, hormones with
proven pain-fighting properties.
*Improves moods:
Cold water activates sensory nerves that lead to the brain. A
cold, exhilarating shower can be emotionally uplifting and
prime a person for new experiences.


Ice baths have become popular in contact sports like football or with endurance sports that predominantly stress the legs, such as
field hockey and running. For contact sports, whole body ice baths can be considered or immersion of the lower limbs only can be
considered.
