Thermal Cycle
Welcome to the rejuvenating world of thermal cycling, a transformative wellness practice that you can now enjoy in the comfort of your own backyard. At SpaCraft Canada, we specialize in creating bespoke spa complexes that seamlessly blend luxury and therapeutic benefit. Each complex features a beautifully designed sauna, a serene change/relaxation room, and a deck equipped with both a hot tub and a cold plunge. This setup is perfect for the ultimate thermal cycling experience.
What is Thermal Cycling?
Thermal cycling involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures to invigorate the body and promote health. This process typically includes:
​
-
Heating in the Sauna: Begin by warming up in the sauna. The intense heat helps to open up pores, cleanse the skin, and relax muscles, while also improving circulation and releasing stored toxins.
-
Cooling in the Cold Plunge: Next, transition to the cold plunge. Immersing in cold water immediately after the sauna causes blood vessels to constrict, refreshing the body, reducing inflammation, and enhancing muscle recovery.
-
Relaxation: Take a moment to relax in the change/relaxation room, allowing your body to normalize. This phase helps to stabilize your heart rate and blood pressure, integrating the benefits of the intense temperature shifts.
-
Soaking in the Hot Tub: Move to the hot tub for a gentle, soothing soak. The warm water is less intense than the sauna and helps to soothe any lingering muscle stiffness or pain. The hydrotherapy jets can also massage key areas, promoting deeper relaxation.
-
Repeat the Cold Plunge: Finish with another session in the cold plunge to invigorate the senses and boost energy levels, closing out the cycle with a refreshing jolt.
Benefits of Thermal Cycling
Thermal cycling is not just a luxurious experience.
It's a health regimen that offers multiple benefits:
01
Enhanced Circulation
Alternating hot and cold treatments improves blood flow, boosting oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body
03
Stress Reduction
The relaxing properties of both sauna and hot tub sessions can significantly reduce stress levels, promoting mental clarity and peace
05
Detoxification
Sweating in the sauna followed by the flushing action of the cold plunge helps to eliminate toxins from the body. This process not only aids in detoxification but also stimulates the lymphatic system, enhancing the body's natural cleansing capabilities and boosting overall health
02
Improved Immune System
Regular thermal cycling can help strengthen the immune system, making you more resilient to infections
04
Increased Metabolism
The body's effort to regulate its temperature in response to extreme heat and cold can help boost metabolism, potentially aiding in weight management
06
Enhanced Skin Health
The intense heat of the sauna opens pores and promotes sweating, which helps to cleanse the skin deeply. Following this with a cold plunge can tighten and tone the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and improving overall skin texture. This combination leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and more youthful
