Why Toronto’s RCVRI Is the Hot-Cold Wellness Trend Everyone’s Whispering About—And You Need to Try Now

If you’ve ever sat in a sauna that felt like breathing in lava, you’ll appreciate my relief that RCVRI’s sauna is an exception. The temperature hit the ideal sweet spot: hot, but not unbearably so. I could breathe comfortably and linger while we chatted, feeling muscles gently relax after the cold plunge. Saunas, I learned, work wonders for vascular health—alternating heat and cold can help dilate and constrict blood vessels, boosting circulation and aiding recovery for sore muscles.

Of all the modalities, the 37ºC hot pool was by far my favorite. The sensation of mini-jets massaging my back as I floated was pure bliss. After the shock of the cold plunge and the gentle heat of the sauna, soaking in this pool felt like the perfect conclusion—a sensation of lightness that’s rare outside of a tropical vacation. Spending time here reportedly helps relax muscles, reduces joint pain, and is even good for cardiovascular relaxation.
