Nordic Cycle Therapy benefits

Mental Wellness

The Nordic Cycle Therapy elevates heart rate. Adrenaline and endorphin responses, this leads to an elevated mood. Exposure to extreme heat and cold increases the production of a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine which produces a feeling of calm, happiness and wellness which supports the mitigation of mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

Accelerated and Healthy Healing

The cold/hot experience drives blood flow to healing tissue increasing oxygenation and substrate delivery as well as transport of key nutrients that support the process of healing. Nutrition is a key feature of healthy healing however the nutrients need to be delivered from the gut to the area that had surgery. In the absence of robust blood flow there will be a reduced benefit to nutritional support.
Reduced Swelling

Reduced swelling can be achieved by increasing circulation through both blood vessels and lymphatic channels. Lymphedema is a condition of swelling related to poor circulation through the lymphatics. Improving circulation through lymphatics and veins helps to reduce swelling.

Reduced Scar Tissue

Accelerated and Healthy healing means less potential for scar tissue formation that can complicate recovery and cause chronic pain.

Reduced Pain/Improved Mood

The cold/hot experience elevates heart rate, adrenaline, and the release of endorphins. This has been proven to reduce pain and improve the mood. This is especially important after surgery or injury to reduce the need for pain medications and prevent depression.

Reduce Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is reduced due to a wash out from increased circulation. The effect of increased blood flow is to wash out chronic inflammatory cells and promote healthy healing of damaged tissue.

Detoxifying Power/ Immunity Boost

The cold/warm technique triggers lymphatic circulation and creates a ‘flush’ of the system. Lymphatics are a part of our immune system and a lymphatic problem often leads to swelling. The cold/warm plunge allows for improved circulation through the lymphatic vessels helping the body to boost immunity, remove waste and to have a detoxifying effect on the body.

Soreness Recovery

Enhanced recovery of muscle and soft tissue damage from overtraining or competition.

Rejuvenates Skin
The cold/warm plunge stimulates blood flow in the skin to an extremely high level. This has a substantial impact on skin health including improved healing from surgery and a radiance that comes naturally from healthier skin.
