Ice Baths / Cold Exposure Therapy
in Melbourne

Reset your nervous system. Build resilience. Feel the afterglow.

Brave the Cold. Reap the Benefits.

Cold exposure may be trending—but at The Orchard, it’s always been part of our science-backed approach to wellness. Our ice bath experience is designed to help you build physical and mental resilience, reduce inflammation, and reset the nervous system in a safe, private, and professionally supported space.

Unlike a simple cold shower, full-body immersion into chilled water (between 4°C–10°C) triggers a series of powerful responses—stimulating blood flow, sharpening focus, boosting dopamine, and easing post-workout muscle soreness. Just a few minutes can create lasting clarity and calm.

Whether you're recovering from training, managing stress, or simply want to feel more energised, our cold plunge sessions are a simple yet powerful practice. You’ll leave feeling reset, recharged, and surprisingly proud of yourself.
