Men, it’s time to immerse yourself with Koho Sauna.
Koho Sauna is located on a floating vessel in the heart of Lakes Entrance. The spacious six-person sauna is wood-fired and has direct access, via a purpose built deck, to the Gippsland Lakes.
This design allows guests to immerse themselves in the practice of contrast therapy, alternating between the heat of the sauna and the coolness of the lake. Sessions run for one hour, with two options offered: a public session for $40 or a private session for $150.
“First and foremost, the team at Koho Sauna are delighted to be included in this dedicated feature on men’s health,” Koho Sauna owner Tom Stubbs said.
“From our experience in our first six months of trading, we find women frequent our facility more often and are more empowered to invest their time and money into health and wellbeing.
“We want to change that.
“Enjoyed separately, sauna use and cold water immersion have far-reaching benefits but combined together, these benefits can be exacerbated by increasing the body’s tolerance to extreme temperature,” Tom said.
Benefits of contrast therapy include: improvements in blood circulation leading to reduced fatigue and muscle soreness, better sleep, reductions in inflammation, elevated mood, decreased stress and anxiety and an improvement in the functioning of the immune system.
“Focusing on men’s health in particular, whether due the effects of a labour intensive job or an old sporting injury, many men carry chronic injuries that can cause ongoing pain,” Tom said.
“At Koho, we strongly feel that regular sauna and cold water immersion can have a significant positive impact on the health and longevity of many local men.
“Gavin, a local male recently left this five star review: “I had been plagued with a sore back for two weeks prior and within the first half of my sauna I could feel some relief. I woke the next day completely pain free”.
“We also now have a regular session booked for the Lakes Entrance Football Club, who find our sessions help them in their recovery from their sporting endeavours.
“As part of this push to promote men’s health, we would like to offer local males 25 per cent off their first session with us. If you wish to make a booking, please visit our website and use code MALE25.”
