On some great posh gyms, they would have these soak pols for their members to use after they do heavy exercise routines. And I suppose it is helpful for Gaga's condition too, since it rehabilitates the muscles. COLD PLUNGE POOLS The low water temperatures in cold water plunge pools help minimize muscle inflammation. Used post exercise, athletes gain the beneficial effects of micro traumas without the pain of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscles Soreness). HOT PLUNGE POOLS Hot plunge tanks used before working out help increase blood flow, flexibility and loosen muscles. Increased flexibility leads to less muscle strain and a more productive exercise session CONTRAST THERAPY This post workout technique uses both hot and cold water plunge pools. The premise behind contrast therapy it is that muscles constrict in cold water and blood vessels expand in a hot water. By systematically moving from a cold water tank to a hot water tank, blood flow increases which stimulates circulation. As this occurs muscles flush out inflammation mediators, accelerating the healing process and decreasing the long term effects of DOMS. Hot and cold plunge pools create the ultimate conditioning, recovery and rehabilitation environment. The cold plunge pool’s chiller keeps water temperatures at a therapeutic 50°F (10°C) to control joint inflammation and enhance muscle recovery. The hot plunge pool keeps the water at temperatures up to 104°F (40°C) to help muscles relax.

ice bear 1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just now, June said: ok im guessing because i read just now that it "helps stimulate the vagus nerve" so the vagus nerve is something in the brain that helps you become more aware of your body. perhaps this is the reason ~~ to heighten awareness of self & others? wow i didn't know i was so smart. so it increases her psychic ability yeah the vag nerve for sure ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 10,347 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It really helps with muscular pain and anxiety/stress. I’ll do them once a week or every two weeks to manage mine. It sounds bizarre but once you do it you realize how nice it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reject False Icons 4,424 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If you body switches from hot to cold to hot in such a little time. Isn’t it probable that you catch a flu or get pneumonia or something like this? I’m not too versed in these topics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like you’re jumping in an ice bath unprepared, It’s a long process of making your body adapt to a lower temperature and as the result you will get a stronger immune system and won’t feel cold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmonster 136 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have a friend who's an Olympic athlete and she follows a similar post-practice routine, alternating between ice/hot foot baths and hot/cold compresses, and then a physical therapist would work on her full body. It eases the pain and inflammation resulting from high-intensity movements, so I'm not surprised that LG does something similar given the intensity of her shows and her past injuries. That full-body ice bath must be PAINFUL though, at least for the first few minutes. Kudos to her for taking care of herself! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spa where we had our honeymoon had some of these things. Also a chilled shower. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
