Immerse yourself

Hot and cold therapy proves a big hit at the Kernow Springs Nordic Spa!

The Kernow Springs Nordic Spa at The Saltbox in Wadebridge opened in April last year and, despite some early scepticism, has now proved a huge success, drawing regular visitors, rave reviews and a growing membership community over 100 strong. Interested to know more, especially with talk around town suggesting that going to the Nordic Spa is the new Friday night out, we catch up with business owner and host, Martin Dean, with one question on our minds: what’s it all about?

“It’s clear that these days, especially after the pandemic, people are more conscious about their health and wellbeing,” says Martin. “We’ve noticed a definite shift in people’s social activities over the last few years, with more and more now choosing healthier alternative ways to ‘hang out’ rather than just embarking on the traditional night out down the pub!”

At this stage, it’s worth pointing out that Martin is not approaching this new venture as a novice in the industry. As he explains: “We have been building and installing our wood-fired hot tubs, saunas and outdoor spa solutions across the south west for over ten years now and our emphasis has always been on hot and cold immersion therapy. Contrast therapy, in the form of hot and cold immersion, is not only good for our achy muscles, it also teaches us that progress and confidence is found in small,
manageable steps.”

Martin continues: “Regular bathing in this way helps with muscle tension, swollen joints, stress, anxiety and depression. There is even a current study in place by The Royal Health Institute highlighting how hot and cold immersion therapy might be used as a preventative measure for Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.”

Between rounds of the hot tub and sauna, Martin’s experienced team encourage clients to build up their time progressively in the cold plunge pool with support from the family and friends they’re visiting with. “In the short term,” says Martin, “this provides a huge dopamine hit with big smiles and an overall feeling of wellness. In the long term, clients are ready to face the week with a new-found confidence having tried and conquered something new and extreme.”
