The era of holistic healing and preventative medicine is making its mark on Pensacola. The Local Pulse strives to be the first in line to try out the latest wellness spots and share the good news with all of you.
Elli and I recently had the opportunity to check out the newest cold pool recovery spa, PlungeWorx. This local business is owned by Jon Richmond and Jake Cassady, two Pensacola Natives with a mission to bring a cool form of natural recovery. No pun intended!
PlungeWorx is outfitted with 4 plunge tubs, an infrared sauna, and a red light room. Upon arrival, we were greeted by co-owner Jon and given the grand tour of the facility. If we had to describe our first impression in three words, we would say clean, intimate, and relaxing.
Clients can enjoy a full session, which includes time in the red room, a sit in the sauna, and finish with a plunge in the cold tub. Each amenity can be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
What’s the hype about all natural recovery anyways?
Cold Plunge/Hot Soak
- Cold Plunge tubs range from 37 to 50 degrees at PlungeWorx, with the best effects happening after just 3 minutes of submersion. The hot tub is set to 107 degrees. Benefits of a plunge include: better circulation, mental clarity, muscle recovery, and a boost for the immune system.
Infrared Sauna
- At PlungeWorx, they recommend a 20 minute sit in the 150 degree sauna before taking a dip in the cold tub. Infrared is known for maximizing heat absorption which leads to benefits like detoxification, overall relaxation, pain/muscle relief, and boosted immune function.
Red Light Therapy
- While the cold tub and sauna tend to focus on recovery from the inside out, the effects from red light therapy tend to focus on the surface level of the skin. Red light is known for its positive impact on wound healing, reducing sun spots, acne, and overall facial texture. Studies have shown that it also helps with stimulating hair growth and improving skin conditions like eczema.
After our experience at PlungeWorx we both were sold. Almost immediately afterwards, we both felt more energized and focused! I noticed my skin was brighter and my overall mood had boosted significantly.
