ice bath GOLD COAST

Ice baths, also known as cold immersion or cold water therapy, offer several health benefits:

Reduced Inflammation and Soreness: Ice baths help reduce inflammation and soothe sore muscles, reducing pain and speeding up recovery after physical activities (including sports recovery).

Enhanced Circulation: Cold water exposure boosts circulation and blood flow by causing blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, which also helps regulate blood pressure, enhancing overall recovery.

Mental Health Benefits: They can improve mood and reduce stress by triggering the release of endorphins, especially when paired with breathwork and meditation.

Boosted Immune System: Regular cold water exposure may enhance the immune system and lower the risk of illnesses.

Enhanced Skin Health: Cold water therapy tightens pores and reduces puffiness, improving skin tone.

Increased Energy Levels: The invigorating effect of such cold temperatures in an ice bath leads to heightened alertness and natural energy boosts.

Improved Sleep: Lowering core body temperature through ice baths can lead to better sleep quality.

Incorporating ice baths into your routine can help you recover faster, feel more energised, and improve overall well-being with enhanced recovery. Experience one of Brisbane’s best ice bath experiences for value at Vikasati.

There is a huge benefit to regular ice baths, and we offer the best ice bath experience to help you achieve optimal results. Many of our members jump in the ice every day! Like any physical stressor, it’s important to progressively build up your time and frequency, and always listen to how your body is feeling and responding.

Prepare for your first ice bath by “breathing up”, a practice of 1-4 minutes of repeated cycles of a slow inhale through the nose and slowly exhale through the teeth, which activates your parasympathetic nervous system and relaxes your body.

When entering the ice, continue the intention slow breathing pattern through the initial shock and keep your mind clear and focused. It’s okay to shiver a little bit in the ice, but make sure you get out while you’re still feeling good and have your breath and heart rate under control.
