Cold plunge therapy is a powerful recovery and wellness practice that helps reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and enhance mental clarity. At OPTI Health, we offer professionally maintained cold immersion therapy in Mooresville, NC, designed to help you recover faster, strengthen your resilience, and elevate your overall well-being.
Cold plunge therapy involves submerging your body in cold water, typically between 39°F - 55°F, for a short period to activate the body’s natural healing processes. This practice has been used for centuries by athletes, health enthusiasts, and individuals looking to reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, and strengthen their ability to handle stress.
For beginners, we recommend starting with one to two minutes and gradually increasing to three to five minutes as your body adapts.
This depends on your goals. Some people plunge daily for mental clarity and resilience, while athletes use it two to three times per week for muscle recovery.
When done correctly, cold immersion is safe for most people. However, those with cardiovascular conditions or other medical concerns should consult a healthcare provider before starting.
Cold plunging is best used after a workout to reduce soreness and inflammation. Some people also use it before a workout for an energy boost and increased mental focus.
