What is an ice bath at WellNest in Cape Town?

FAQ·Recovery & Regenerative Therapies

An ice bath at WellNest is a short cold immersion in water typically kept between 4°C and 8°C, available at our Bree Street clinic in Cape Town. Sessions are time-controlled and self-directed, so you can explore cold immersion at your own pace.

Cold immersion has long been used by athletes and wellness enthusiasts. It may support recovery, help manage inflammation, and build resilience. It can be a useful option after intense training or as a standalone recovery and wellness practice.
