👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Recently my family spent an hour at one of the many new sauna spots that have popped up around Tassie. Sauna Boat Tasmania is situated on the water at Kettering Marina. It was such a great way for our little family to celebrate a birthday and spend some quality time together, and float home feeling relaxed and content.
Read on if you want to find out some of the science behind Hot & Cold Therapy.

Alternating between sauna (heat exposure) and cold plunge (cold water immersion)—has become increasingly popular for recovery, stress relief, and overall well-being.

Here’s a breakdown 👇
🔥 Sauna (Heat Therapy)
What happens in the body:
• Raises core body temperature and skin temperature.
• Increases heart rate and circulation (like light to moderate exercise).
• Induces sweating → supports detoxification of some compounds through skin.
• Triggers heat shock proteins → may help with cellular repair and resilience.
Benefits (supported by research):
• Cardiovascular health: regular sauna use is linked to reduced blood pressure, improved blood vessel function, and lower risk of heart disease.
• Muscle recovery & relaxation: improves blood flow to muscles, reduces soreness.
• Stress relief: stimulates endorphins, helps with relaxation.
• Longevity associations: large Finnish studies suggest frequent sauna use correlates with lower all-cause mortality.

❄️ Cold Plunge (Cold Water Immersion)
What happens in the body:
• Rapid constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction).
• Sudden increase in adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
• Activates brown fat → can improve metabolism and thermoregulation.
• Reduces inflammation and muscle swelling.
Benefits (supported by research):
• Reduced muscle soreness: especially useful after intense exercise.
• Mood boost: cold exposure can elevate dopamine levels significantly.
• Immune support: some evidence of fewer colds and better immune resilience in regular cold water swimmers.
• Mental resilience: trains stress adaptation and tolerance.

🔄 Combining Sauna + Cold Plunge (Contrast Therapy)
The alternating cycle of heat and cold increases effects:
• Improved circulation: heat dilates blood vessels, cold constricts them → pumping effect supports vascular health.
• Enhanced recovery: reduces muscle soreness while promoting nutrient delivery to tissues.
• Stress resilience: trains the nervous system to adapt between sympathetic (alert) and parasympathetic (calm) states.
• Mood elevation: sauna induces relaxation, cold plunge creates exhilaration → together, they balance well-being.
• Traditional roots: practiced in Finland (sauna + icy lake), Russia (banya + cold plunge), and other cultures for centuries.

⚖️ Safety & Considerations
• Hydration: saunas cause heavy sweating → drink water and replenish electrolytes.
Duration:
• Sauna: typically 10–20 minutes per round.
• Cold plunge: 30 seconds to 3 minutes is common (longer can be risky).
• Sequence: many prefer heat → cold → rest, repeated 2–4 cycles.
• Contraindications: heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions may require caution—always check with a healthcare professional.
• Listen to your body: dizziness, numbness, or extreme discomfort are warning signs.

There are some great sauna businesses out there, give one of these other ones a try:
KUUMA • Nature Sauna (Margate Marina)- friends and I visited here in January and it was wonderful! The boat putters into the nearby bay and you spend 90 minutes in and out of the sauna and the Channel.
Floating Sauna Lake Derby (NE Tas)- amazing location right on the lake. Dip in and out of the frigid lake after being in a very hot (98°C) sauna. We booked the 5pm twilight one in September. The big picture window frames the lake from inside the sauna as the sun goes down. Just magic!

📣 Taroona Shopping Village showcase 📣

Many people assume that the Taroona shopping centre is deserted, with very little happening in the place for many years.

That is not entirely true. There are many small businesses and private operators within its walls, including Restore.

🦮 The Dog Clinic Hobart
Taking up much of the front space of the centre, Raj and his team of veterinarians and nurses operate Hobart’s only vet hospital with veterinary care exclusively for dogs of all shapes and sizes! They also have a large range of dog treats, food, and toys, and run regular puppy classes.
www.thedogclinic.com.au

💧Northside Laundrette
What used to be a privately run Laundromat for many many years servicing the hospitality industry, Northside is now open as a public laundry, fully self-serviced.
0410 649 515

🥐 Philadelphia Bakers
Corey and his family produce beautiful and delicious sour dough products from their small (non sales) bakery in the centre. They sell their wares each Sunday at the Farm Gate Market, where they sell out frequently. My favourites are their sour dough croissants......so flaky, but with an incredible chewy bite. Their hot cross buns at Easter time are sensational too!

🚘 We have plenty of easy, free, on site parking

🎬 You may even recognise this photo if you've watched the Netflix series "The Survivors". Taroona is famous!

So no, Taroona is not so far away, and with the ease of access and free parking, why wrestle with city traffic and parking when you can save time and come to Taroona!

Recovery (almost) over.

Getting some steps and strength back in my legs with some gentle beach walks ahead of a planned return to work on Monday 4th August.

Appointments are limited over the next few weeks while I gently return to work.

Thanks for your patience while I have been resting, reading, recovering and getting my body back to the point where I will be able to continue in this profession for many more years to come.

😫 It's National Chronic Pain week, a week to raise awareness for the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain.

❓️Chronic pain is persistent pain that lasts for more than three months, exceeding the typical healing time after an injury or illness. It is a complex condition where pain signals continue to be sent to the brain even after the initial injury has healed, or may even occur without a clear physical cause.

♾️ This ongoing pain can significantly impact a person's quality of life, affecting their ability to work, exercise, and socialise.

👍 Regular massage can help with chronic pain by reducing muscle tension, improving mobility, and promoting relaxation, in turn reducing stress and anxiety associated with pain.

📖 Recovery = lots of reading!

➡️ Here's one I read recently. This is how I have increased my reading amount by making tiny changes.

✅️ I have made myself read 10 pages every day. Quite often those 10 pages turn into 20 or more, but the minimum is always 10.

📚 Ways I make the habit change easier: Take my book everywhere, keep it in the car if I'm out and about, read my book instead of my phone when waiting in appointments, keep my book in an obvious, visible place as a reminder to read.

🗓 The daily stacking of this habit means that I reach my monthly goal of at least one book per month (quite often more).
