Hydrotherapy 

The Hydrotherapy Pool consists of a 4m x 8m long body of water, with depths of 0.9m and 1.4m. 

The Hydrotherapy Pool has high powered jets that can be used to offer a water based form of massage, it is also equipped with an under-water treadmill that can help reduce pressure on joints when walking or running.

Within the Hydrotherapy Pool area there are 2 contrasting CryoSpa plunge pools, one hot and one cold.

Hot and cold plunges are contrasting hydrotherapy techniques that involve immersing the body in water of different temperatures as a form of therapeutic treatment. These contrasting temperatures are believed to have various health benefits and are often used in sports and rehabilitation settings, as well as in wellness practices.

The hot plunge involves immersing the body in hot water, typically at a temperature ranging from 37 to 40 degrees. The heat from the water helps dilate blood vessels and increases blood flow to the skin's surface. This results in relaxation of muscles, improved circulation, and increased metabolism. The hot plunge is commonly used for relaxation, muscle recovery, and to relieve muscle tension or stiffness.

The cold plunge involves immersing the body in cold water, typically at a temperature between 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. The cold temperature causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin's surface. As a result, the body redirects blood flow to vital organs, and there is a decrease in inflammation and metabolic activity. The cold plunge is commonly used to reduce inflammation, soreness, and swelling after intense physical activity.

Contrast hydrotherapy involves alternating between hot and cold plunges. This technique is believed to enhance circulation and stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The process typically begins with a hot plunge followed by a cold plunge, with several repetitions of alternating between the two temperatures.

Sauna sessions involve sitting or lying down in the heated space for a certain period, usually between 10 to 20 minutes, or longer if tolerated. During the session, the dry heat causes the body to sweat, leading to the elimination of toxins and impurities through the skin. Saunas are often used for relaxation and stress reduction, as well as for potential health benefits such as improved circulation and muscle relaxation.
