Sauna Therapy: Heat with Healing Power
The sauna, a centuries-old wellness tradition, provides a contrasting benefit by leveraging heat to relax muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and detoxify the body. Heat therapy encourages sweating, which removes toxins and supports skin health.
Scientific studies back these claims. Research from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) highlights how sauna usage improves heart health by reducing blood pressure and increasing circulation. Moreover, the production of heat shock proteins during sauna sessions enhances cellular repair, improving overall resilience.
Dr. Jari Laukkanen, a Finnish researcher and sauna advocate, has remarked, “Regular sauna use can be linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and an improved quality of life. The benefits are evident in both the body and the mind.”
Alzheimer’s Society: Regular saunas could reduce the risk of dementia
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland followed 2,315 men aged 42-60 years for 20 years as part of the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Study. Men who reported taking a sauna 4-7 times per week were 66% less likely to receive a diagnosis of dementia than those who only sauna once a week. They were also 65% less likely to receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
Differences in age, blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking, blood cholesterol and other health conditions between the groups were accounted for in the analysis. Read Full Article
The Science Behind Cold Plunge Therapy
Cold-water immersion (CWI), commonly known as the cold plunge, is rooted in its ability to reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery. When submerged in cold water, the body undergoes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), which helps flush out toxins and reduce swelling. Upon exiting the cold water, vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) occurs, improving oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues.
A 2020 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that athletes who practiced cold-water immersion experienced significantly reduced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), highlighting its value for post-exercise recovery.
Additionally, cold exposure triggers the release of norepinephrine, a hormone that helps reduce inflammation and enhances mood. Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a prominent health researcher, has noted that CWI can stimulate brown adipose tissue, which burns calories and improves metabolic health. Regular cold plunging may even boost immunity, as a study published in the Journal of Physiology found an increase in white blood cells in participants undergoing regular cold exposure.
Who Should NOT Cold Plunge?
It’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor before you try a cold plunge. If you have any of these medical conditions, cold plunges may not be safe for you:
Known Heart conditions
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Poor blood flow
Pregnant
Raynaud’s phenomenon, a condition that affects blood flow in your fingers
Peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain)
Venous stasis, which affects blood flow to your legs
Cold agglutinin disease, which damages red blood cells
The Synergy: ContrastTherapy
Alternating between the cold plunge and sauna—known as contrast therapy—offers a holistic recovery solution. This practice harnesses the benefits of thermal shock to stimulate circulation, promote cellular repair, and reduce stress. A review in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that contrast therapy improves muscle recovery and enhances mental clarity.
Dr. Mikkel Aaland, a wellness author, calls this combination: “A potent interplay of extremes that pushes the body and mind to reset and rejuvenate.”
Elevating Wellness at Kingsway Boxing Club
By introducing these scientifically-backed therapies, Kingsway Boxing Club enhances its reputation as a leader in fitness and recovery. The club is creating a space where members can train hard, recover smarter, and feel their best. Whether you’re an athlete or someone seeking wellness, the cold plunge and sauna provide a proven path to optimizing performance and health.

Following the success of our recent Fight Team Tryouts, where over 50 applicants stepped up to join the fight, we’re excited to reveal the official FTEC2025 fight team.
Building on the momentum of our newest initiative, Friday Night Fights ‘To End Cancer,’ we are proud to share that the Fight To End Cancer Charity Boxing Gala will return in Spring 2025. The Friday Night Fights event showcased some of Canada’s top amateur boxers and welcomed the broader community. In contrast, the May 2025 Gala will take the fight to new heights, with its exclusive corporate format and global support propelling our mission to raise $1 million annually for cancer research.
