Notice the experience
Warmth and cool water feel different to different people. You may notice changes in breathing, alertness or comfort. These are personal experiences, not evidence of medical outcomes.
Avoid universal promises
A studio visit is an experience, not a treatment or a promise of a particular health outcome. Seek qualified advice about suitability.
Go gently and stop if you feel uncomfortable. This is general studio information, not medical advice. Your host can explain the studio experience; a qualified healthcare professional can advise on individual suitability.
