What is Contrast Therapy?

Experience the health boosting benefits of both cold & hot treatments with a 1 hour Contrast Therapy session in our private contrast therapy suite. Our contrast therapy suite integrates an infrared sauna with a cold plunge to improve cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle recovery in athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Sauna use increases heart rate and circulation, while cold therapy constricts blood vessels to reduce inflammation.

You’ll alternate between our infrared sauna, cold plunge and rest. The infrared sauna works by dilating blood vessels, which boosts circulation. After warming up in the infrared sauna, you then immerse yourself in the cold plunge, causing the blood vessels to constrict. This is a centuries-old tradition, practiced by society’s highest-performers. It will awaken your body and mind while improving total body wellness at the cellular level.

Contrast Therapy aids athletes in recovering from various soft tissue injuries, muscle spasms, and pain in both the upper and lower limbs. It is also utilized to expedite recovery following intense workouts. Additionally, Contrast Therapy is known to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing dopamine levels, and it enhances sleep quality.

How Does the Cold Plunge Complement My Sauna Session?

Contrast therapy, also known as hot and cold therapy, involves rapidly alternating between extreme temperatures. This method provides all the benefits of both the sauna and the cold plunge individually, but also trains your body to better handle the stress of these temperature extremes. The physical and mental resilience gained from contrast therapy is believed to alleviate anxiety and depression. Additionally, for those dealing with chronic pain or injuries, contrast therapy serves as a form of rehabilitation. It forces body tissues to adapt to sudden changes, offering a “workout” for your body without the strain of traditional exercise, which can reduce swelling, enhance circulation, and improve pain and soreness.
