What we do
Home saunas and ice baths have gone from niche to mainstream, but most of the information online is either a sales pitch or a wall of jargon. We started Recoup Recovery to be the calm, independent middle: clear explainers, honest buying guidance and practical how-tos for a UK audience, covering the realities of British homes, gardens, weather and running costs.
We cover three connected topics: home saunas, ice baths and cold plunges, and the contrast therapy practice that links them.
How we are funded
At launch, Recoup Recovery does not sell products and carries no advertising. Where we point you to where you can buy something, we link out to UK retailers. In future we may earn a commission from some of those links or from connecting readers with vetted installers, at no extra cost to you. We will always label that clearly, and it will never change which products or options we recommend.
How we write our guides
Our content is researched and drafted with care and checked against published sources. Health-related claims are kept measured and evidence-led, and we link to primary sources such as the NHS and peer-reviewed research where relevant. You can read more in our editorial policy.
We are not doctors, and our content is not medical advice. Please read our full disclaimer, and speak to a qualified professional before starting sauna or cold water therapy if you have any health concern.
