The Traditional Sauna Experience
Our sauna, deeply rooted in Finnish tradition, is a calming space for your holistic wellness journey. Inspired by the simplicity and comfort of the Finnish sauna, Float Magic provides an effective approach to enhance your overall well-being. Whether you choose to book the sauna alone or pair it with the cold plunge pool for contrast therapy, our wellness center in Twin Falls is ready to meet your preferences.
Sauna Sessions Relax Your Physical Body and Mind
Sauna sessions at Float Magic elevate more than just your heart rate; they improve your entire well-being. By increasing blood flow, these sessions allow oxygen to be delivered and circulated efficiently throughout your body. Improved circulation of oxygen throughout your body can be especially beneficial if you are looking to find relief from muscle and joint pain. Sweating during sauna sessions allow your body to detox, preventing toxin build-up in your body. As toxins are flushed out of your body, this strengthens your immune system. In addition to relaxing your physical body, the warmth of the sauna also offers stress relief for improved mental clarity.
The Cold Water Plunge Pool Builds Resilience and Health
The cold water plunge pool at Float Magic in Twin Falls is more than a refreshing dip; it’s an effective approach to wellness that boosts resilience and promotes overall health. As you immerse yourself in the invigorating benefits of cold water, the temperature induces positive stress reactions that build resilience. The cold water improves circulation, which strengthens your cardiovascular system, releases adrenaline, which increases energy levels, and reduces inflammation, which can help with conditions such as arthritis. Beyond the physical benefits, the cold plunge also allows you to have mental clarity, creating a powerful wellness experience.
Why Contrast Therapy?
Imagine stepping out of the sauna’s warmth and into the invigorating cold plunge pool—this contrast therapy provides a unique and rejuvenating experience. Contrast therapy allows your body to go through stress adaptation as you move between the comforting heat of the sauna and the refreshing coolness of the cold plunge pool. People typically spend time in the sauna for 10-15 minutes, move into the cold plunge pool, then return to the sauna, repeating this for about an hour.
Switching between extreme temperatures induces positive stress responses, supporting your body’s recovery and resilience. Moving between the warm and cold temperatures causes your blood vessels to dilate then constrict, which supports blood flow and circulation. This is beneficial to the cardiovascular system and can prevent issues like high blood pressure.
Contrast Therapy for Athletes
If you’re recovering from an injury or are experiencing muscle soreness, contrast therapy decreases lactic acid buildup. This is why many athletes use contrast therapy as a recovery tool. If you’re an athlete, you’ve probably also experienced delayed muscle soreness after an intense workout. Contrast therapy can decrease delayed onset muscle soreness, preventing future injuries from occurring and allowing you to be at your peak performance. Through contrast therapy, you’ll be able to experience the benefits of both the sauna and cold plunge therapies for a comprehensive wellness experience.
