Take the Plunge with Shou Sugi Ban

For centuries, athletes struggled with post-workout muscle swelling and joint inflammations which held them back from performing their best. Injuries and conditions like arthritis have also kept many individuals wide awake at night with pain. The latest health trend that’s proven to work and is gaining huge traction in the health and wellness community is Cold Water Immersion (CWI).

CWI is the practice of immersing the body in cold water to gain health benefits such as improving muscle recovery, easing pain, and minimizing inflammation.

What is a Cold Plunge Tub?

A cold plunge tub is a tub specially designed for cold water therapy. Although there are plenty of ways to practice CWI, cold plunge tubs have quickly become a crowd favorite because they are compact, convenient for home use, and have internal cooling mechanisms that allow them to maintain optimal water temperature.

As CWI becomes increasingly popular all over the world, more and more gyms, health and wellness clinics, and even beauty spas have started installing their own cold plunge pools and tubs so that clients who wish for speedier recovery or anyone who wishes to receive numerous health benefits of CWI can take a dip.

Cold plunges aren’t just for athletes and health enthusiasts. Everyone can benefit from cold plunging. Aside from accelerating muscle recovery and controlling inflammation, cold therapy is also known to help with mindfulness, improving mood, and strengthening one’s discipline.
