Hot/Cold
The contrast therapy experience begins as you alternate between hot and cold treatments, cycling between infrared sauna sessions, ice baths, and rest. It improves blood circulation, helps you de-stress, and awakens your body and mind.
Hot cold therapy accelerates nutrient-rich blood flow, quells inflammation in your body, and heightens your senses. Contrast therapy sharpens mental focus, so it's the perfect way to relax yet feel invigorated and creative.
The risks and benefits of contrast therapy are the same as using the cold plunge or sauna, individually. The same is true for the clientele.
