RESTORE BALANCE THROUGH HEAT AND COLD

Contrast therapy combines alternating exposure to heat and cold to stimulate circulation and support natural recovery processes. The heat phase encourages muscle relaxation and blood flow, while cold immersion helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness.

By switching between these temperatures, the body is challenged to adapt, promoting improved vascular response, reduced stiffness, and a deep sense of physical reset.

HEAT AND COLD.
INTENTIONAL RECOVERY.

  • Sessions alternate between infrared sauna and cold plunge intervals. Heat exposure allows muscles to relax and circulation to increase, while cold immersion causes blood vessels to constrict, supporting inflammation control and nervous system activation.

    This cycle is repeated intentionally, allowing the body to benefit from both phases while maintaining comfort and control throughout the session.

    • Improved circulation and blood flow

    • Reduced muscle soreness and stiffness

    • Enhanced recovery after training or physical activity

    • Support for joint health and mobility

    • Nervous system regulation and stress relief

    • Increased energy and mental clarity

    • Anyone experiencing muscle fatigue, stiffness, or post-workout soreness.

  • Contrast therapy is a non-invasive recovery practice that combines heat and cold exposure in a controlled setting. Sessions are self-paced and designed to prioritize comfort and individual tolerance.

    Mild sensations such as heat intensity or cold shock are normal and temporary. Clients are responsible for ensuring they are in good general health and free from contraindications such as uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, acute illness, or sensitivity to extreme temperatures.

    All participants complete a waiver prior to each session and are encouraged to listen to their body throughout the experience. Each session takes place in a private, climate-controlled room designed for comfort, safety, and relaxation.

  • General Recovery & Stress Relief: 1–2 sessions per week.

    Athletic Recovery & Performance: 2–3 sessions per week, depending on training load.
