COLD PLUNGE

  1. Fight or Flight

    1. Consistently activating our stress response helps train our brain to better manage stress when dealing with all kinds of life stressors

    2. Water Contact > Norepinephrine Release > Fight-or-Flight Triggered (+)

    3. Consistent Exposure > Oxidative Stress Reaction Produced > Cortisol Decreases

  2. ​Elevated Energy → This shit wakes you up, and does it quick.

  3. Muscle Recovery & Athletic Performance

    1. Regulate core temperature to kickstart and expedite the recovery process

    2. Improvement in tolerating colder temperatures (i.e. for games)

  4. Immune Support (reference)

    1. Cold water immersion stimulates leukocytes - illness-fighting white blood cells - and causes the lymphatic system to contract which forces fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening our immune system

  5. Accelerates Metabolism → Our gears move faster and generate more heat

INFRARED SAUNA

  1. Deep Detox

    1. Far Infrared Sauna’s penetrate our skin (3in) and heat our body from the inside out which opens our pores, draws out the toxins and expels “dirt”

  2. Skin Purification

    1. Infrared light can deteriorate toxins such as dead skin cells, oils, dirt, and bacteria.

    2. Increased circulation and oxygen delivery to damaged skin help with cell turnover

    3. Boosts collagen > The ‘glue’ that holds our bodies together

  3. Muscle Recovery and Relaxation

    1. Infrared Sauna’s balance our body’s cortisol levels - Primary Stress Hormone - and relieve tension throughout our body

    2. Deep penetration relieves aches and pains while improving circulation and ROM

  4. Immunity Boost

    1. Infrared Sauna’s stimulate the production of white blood cells - illness fighting cells - to increase and improve our immune system

  5. Improved Sleep

    1. Infrared Sauna’s promote a deeper, more relaxed sleep because the slow decline of endorphins is key to facilitating sleep

NORMATEC COMPRESSION

  1. Increased Lymphatic Flow

    1. Lost fluid from blood combined with fatiguing waste products can lay dormant in our legs and cause slow recovery and pain (soreness)

    2. Compression therapy pushes lymphatic fluid back to our heart to be cleaned and recycled

  2. Improved Circulation

    1. Deoxygenated blood can sit in our legs and compression therapy increases the blood flow of fresh, oxygen-rich blood to our muscle tissue

  3. Reduced Muscle Soreness

    1. Compression therapy significantly reduces lactic acid build up which decreases muscle soreness and facilitates a faster recovery

  4. Improved Flexibility & Injury Reduction

    1. More flexibility leads to lower levels of injury, especially muscle strains

  5. Mental & Physical Relaxation

    1. Compression therapy, like a massage, promotoes a feeling of relaxation which benefits mental well-being and also improve sleep quality
