CONTRAST THERAPY: SAUNA + COLD PLUNGE FOR BETTER RECOVERY, FOCUS & OVERALL WELLNESS

WHAT IS CONTRAST THERAPY?

CONTRAST THERAPY COMBINES SAUNA HEAT & COLD PLUNGE IMMERSION IN ALTERNATING INTERVALS. BY MOVING THE BODY BETWEEN HOT & COLD, YOU ACTIVATE NATURAL CIRCULATORY & NERVOUS SYSTEM RESPONSES THAT SUPPORT RECOVERY, RESILIENCE & OVERALL WELL BEING.

HOW CONTRAST THERAPY WORKS

SAUNA HEAT CAUSES BLOOD VESSELS TO DILATE, INCREASING CIRCULATION & RELAXING MUSCLES. COLD PLUNGE IMMERSION CAUSES BLOOD VESSELS TO CONSTRICT, HELPING REDUCE INFLAMMATION & INCREASE ALERTNESS. THE REPEATED SHIFT BETWEEN HEAT & COLD CREATES A NATURAL PUMPING EFFECT THAT SUPPORTS BLOOD FLOW, RECOVERY & RESET.

CORE BENEFITS OF CONTRAST THERAPY

• ENHANCED CIRCULATION & BLOOD FLOW:
  ALTERNATING TEMPERATURES SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD MOVEMENT & OXYGEN DELIVERY THROUGHOUT THE BODY.

• MUSCLE RECOVERY & REDUCED SORENESS:
  CONTRAST THERAPY SUPPORTS POST ACTIVITY RECOVERY BY HELPING THE BODY FLUSH METABOLIC WASTE & RELAX TIRED MUSCLES.

• NERVOUS SYSTEM BALANCE & STRESS RESILIENCE:
  THE TRANSITION BETWEEN HOT & COLD HELPS TRAIN THE BODY TO ADAPT, SUPPORTING CALM, FOCUS & STRESS MANAGEMENT.

• MENTAL CLARITY, FOCUS & MOOD:
  COLD EXPOSURE CAN PROMOTE ALERTNESS & A SENSE OF MENTAL RESET WHILE HEAT SUPPORTS RELAXATION.

• OVERALL WELLNESS & BALANCE:
  CONTRAST THERAPY SUPPORTS BOTH PHYSICAL & MENTAL WELL BEING, CREATING A GROUNDED, RESTORED FEELING.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A CONTRAST THERAPY SESSION

BEGIN YOUR SESSION IN THE SAUNA TO GRADUALLY WARM THE BODY. SPEND 10 TO 20 MINUTES IN DRY HEAT TO RELAX MUSCLES, INCREASE CORE BODY TEMPERATURE & PROMOTE CIRCULATION.

NEXT, TRANSITION INTO THE COLD PLUNGE. IMMERSE FOR 1 TO 5 MINUTES TO COOL THE BODY, STIMULATE CIRCULATION & INVIGORATE THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

ALTERNATE BETWEEN SAUNA & COLD PLUNGE FOR 2 TO 4 ROUNDS, MOVING AT A PACE THAT FEELS COMFORTABLE & INTENTIONAL. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY & ADJUST TIMING AS NEEDED.
