Contrast Therapy.
Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy uses alternating hot and cold plunge pools to enhance recovery by stimulating circulation, relieving muscle tension, and reducing inflammation. Our contrast pools create a dynamic temperature shift alternates between a hot 38°C plunge and a refreshing 8°C cold plunge, creating a dynamic temperature change that stimulates blood circulation, reduces muscle soreness, and boosts the body's natural healing process, promoting both physical and mental well-being.

Benefits
Contrast therapy offers a variety of benefits by using alternating hot and cold exposure to optimise recovery. The rapid temperature changes enhance circulation, promoting better oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, while flushing out metabolic waste. This helps reduce muscle soreness, swelling, and inflammation after physical activity.
The combination of heat and cold also relieves muscle tension, improves mobility, and recharges both body and mind. With enhanced recovery and stress reduction, contrast therapy leaves you feeling refreshed, energised, and clear.
-
The alternating temperatures of contrast therapy cause blood vessels to constrict and dilate, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body. Improved circulation helps flush out metabolic waste and toxins, ensuring muscles and tissues receive essential nutrients for faster recovery.
-
Cold exposure reduces swelling by constricting blood vessels and calming the inflammatory response. It’s particularly effective after intense physical activity, helping alleviate joint and muscle pain, making it an excellent tool for injury recovery.
-
The hot plunge pool relaxes muscle fibres, easing stiffness and improving mobility. By relaxing tight muscles and promoting elasticity, it supports better movement and reduces the likelihood of injury.
-
Switching between hot and cold exposure triggers endorphin release, reducing stress and promoting emotional balance. The practice helps improve focus and mental clarity, making it a valuable tool for managing both physical and mental fatigue.
-
Contrast therapy and ice baths can boost immune function by stimulating white blood cell production and improving circulation, ensuring immune cells are efficiently transported throughout the body. Cold exposure has also been linked to reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, promoting a stronger, more resilient immune system over time. Regular use of these therapies can support your body's natural defenses, enhancing overall health and recovery.
-
Contrast therapy stimulates the nervous system, promoting alertness and increased energy. The invigorating effects of cold exposure elevate heart rate and metabolism, leaving you feeling recharged and ready for your next challenge.
