Brrr! If you’re looking for a new wellness routine, The Recovery Zone’s Polar Plunge is the perfect method for you. For our polar plunge experience, we use two large stainless steel tubs. One tub is filled with cold water with a temperature around 10 degrees Celsius while the other is filled with ice and water with a temperature of lower of 0 degrees Celsius.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be an athlete to try out Recovery Zone’s Polar Plunge here in Canmore. Anyone can benefit from plunging into arctic-cold water – just look at supermodel Helena Christensen and Olympic free-skier, Maggie Voisin!
Cold water therapy might not be something new, but Recovery Zone’s Polar Plunge just might be the cold wake-up call you need to start prioritizing your health & wellness!
