A 33-year-old woman from Vallda, Mikaela Windefjord, uses winter swimming to temporarily relieve pain from her three chronic diseases. She has spasmodic dystonia, which causes neck and back muscles to swell and cramp, and spasmodic dysphonia, which affects speech. The pain relief from winter swimming can last from five minutes to an hour.
The newspaper Norra-Halland was first to report on her solution. Mikaela emphasizes that while it works for her, it may not work for others with similar conditions and advises consulting a doctor.
