Cautions While using the Hot/Cold Therapy

  • Not recommended to use during pregnancy

  • Outdoor allergies such as pollen or insects 

  • Cold urticaria

  • High risk of hypothermia/heat exhaustion 

  • Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta blockers may negatively affect the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. 

  • Acute injuries - Do not apply heat while your injury is still swollen, this could negatively affect your healing.

  • Fever or infection

  • Peripheral neuropathy/diabetic neuropathy

  • Raynaud’s syndrome

  • If using prescription medication it is recommended to consult your doctor to determine if your medication causes temperature sensitivity

  • If dehydrated, perhaps from a hangover it is advised to not use the sauna as dehydration can be dangerous

  • For the elderly - the ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age due to decreased sweat gland production, leaving you more susceptible to overheating. 

It is not our responsibility to monitor or manage your limits in the cold baths or sauna. Please be aware of your safety and don’t push yourself to a dangerous limit. We are not responsible for your cycle times, or knowing your tolerance. Enjoy the benefits of the hot/cold therapy, but be aware.

Other Hazards Related to Hot/Cold Therapy 

  • Hot stove and coals in the sauna

  • Prolonged exposure to the cold 

  • Smoke and fire hazard

  • Insect stings 

  • Slippery concrete and/or wood

Conditions for Use

There are to be only 10 people at a time in the sauna, and no more

  • There is no drinking or eating in the sauna or cold tubs

  • It is mandatory to wear footwear at all times while on decked areas. Shoes must be removed before entering the sauna or cold plunge

  • Towels are not provided, please bring your own towels

Recommendation for Use

If you have never tried hot/cold therapy before, it is recommended to give yourself a test round to find your limit. Enter the cold tub for 1-5 seconds, move to the sauna for 5-10 minutes, back to the cold tub for 30-60 seconds, rest by the fire and then repeat, increasing the duration as you see fit. 

This is a self guided experience, the staff are not there to tell you your limits, you must be aware for yourself how long you can withstand each part of the process. If you feel uncomfortable it’s always best to exercise caution and move on to the next step.
