The Nordics have the right idea when they jump into a freezing lake right after sweating it out in a sauna. While it's one way to introduce tourists from tropical countries to the Nordic way of life, the hot-cold "therapy" is a great means of getting the heart pumping.

OCA Collective knows this. The ice bath and sauna practice it offers its Recovery Club clients is known to improve circulation and cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation and soreness, flush out toxins, boost the immune system, strengthen mental resilience, improve moods, elevate sleep quality, promote metabolism and fat loss, and support the nervous system. The brand gives clients the choice of doing this recovery practice in a group setting or in private. 

Remember, though, to consult your doctor before practicing the ice bath and sauna recovery method. Those with circulatory, respiratory, or neurological disorders must take extra caution, as well as those who are pregnant, have had recent injuries or surgeries, or have diabetes. 

But people with pre-existing conditions that keep them from enjoying the benefits of sauna and ice bath sessions will be happy to know that OCA Collective has more to offer in their Movement sessions. These include yoga, dance, sound healing, meditation, breathwork, and mat Pilates. 

OCA Collective is located on the 2nd Floor of Bonifacio High Street, C2 Building, 7th Avenue, Taguig, Metro Manila. For inquiries, you may contact +63 966 201 8184 or email hello@theocacollective.com.
