Contrast therapy has been practised for centuries by various cultures, but recently this technique has gained attention from athletes and individuals focused on their overall well-being. Alternating between hot and cold temperatures, contrast therapy has become common practice for many.

Ideally through complete body immersion, such as ice baths and saunas, contrast therapy involves switching between hot and cold treatments. This invigorates circulation, alleviates inflammation, releases muscle tension, and ultimately enhances overall health. Consequently, it is now widely offered as a therapeutic treatment.

There have been many scientific studies regarding the effects of cold water immersion, saunas, and contrast therapy – to read more please follow the links below.
