The Moving for Health project funded by Active Kent & Medway promotes the powerful mental and physical benefits of cold-water therapy, helping individuals enhance their well-being. Backed by leading professionals in wild swimming, the project highlights the positive psychological and social impacts of immersing in natural water. Studies have shown that cold-water therapy can reduce stress by 30%, improve mood by 50%, and increase overall well-being, making it a valuable tool for mental health.
This initiative specifically aims to engage underrepresented groups, including ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and the elderly, ensuring everyone can experience the benefits of cold-water therapy. The project focuses on four key areas:
– Tackling Aquaphobia
– Building Water Confidence
– Water Safety
– Sea Safety
By providing accessible support and education, our goal is to make cold-water therapy a safe and beneficial practice for all!
