A fast-track remedy in the hydrotherapy world, the cold plunge provides healing with shockingly cold water. The individual may stay submerged in there anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, producing some various physiological responses like vasoconstriction (or TBU in layman's terms), increased release of endorphins, and mitigation of muscle inflammation.
Cold plunging is also often used with contrast therapy, switching from hot to cold alternately, to improve circulation and alleviate muscle soreness, to make things interesting.
