What is cold plunge?
Cold plunge therapy involves immersing your body in cold water, typically between 2–8°C, for a set period. This practice has been used for centuries to promote recovery and well-being.
The cold water stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and activates the body’s natural healing processes.
At Excelsius Wellness, our modern cold plunge pools provide a safe, hygienic, and serene space to enjoy the cooling benefits. Cold plunging is ideal for recovery after physical activity, stress relief, or simply resetting your body and mind.

Important Considerations Before Booking a Cold Plunge Session
To ensure a safe and beneficial experience, please review the following health considerations before participating in a cold plunge:
Heart Conditions: Individuals with cardiovascular concerns such as heart disease, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, or unmanaged hypertension should refrain from cold plunges, as the sudden cold exposure can place added stress on the heart and circulatory system.
Respiratory Health: Those with conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should proceed with caution. The initial shock of cold water can potentially trigger breathing difficulties.
Diabetes and Circulation Issues: People managing diabetes—especially those with peripheral neuropathy—should be cautious, as reduced sensation and circulation may increase the risk of cold-related complications.
Skin and Wound Care: Avoid cold plunges if you have open wounds, broken skin, or certain dermatological conditions. Extreme cold can slow the healing process and increase the risk of tissue damage.
Cold Sensitivities and Allergies: If you have known sensitivities such as cold urticaria (cold-induced hives) or cryoglobulinemia, cold exposure can provoke adverse reactions. Please consult your healthcare provider before booking.
High Blood Pressure: Cold immersion may cause a temporary rise in blood pressure. Those with uncontrolled or severe hypertension should avoid participation.
Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, consult with your healthcare provider prior to engaging in cold immersion therapy, as individual responses to cold may vary during pregnancy.
Supervision: Always ensure that someone is present during your cold plunge session to provide assistance if needed. Safety is our top priority.
Gradual Adaptation: If you’re new to cold therapy, start with short sessions and gradually build your tolerance over time. This approach allows your body to acclimate safely and effectively.
