Contrast Therapy is a recovery method that alternates between heat and cold to promote circulation, muscle recovery, and overall well-being.
How It Works:
- Heat Therapy dilates blood vessels, increases circulation, relaxes muscles, and promotes detoxification.
- Cold Therapy constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and stimulates recovery by triggering the body's adaptive responses.
- By alternating between the two, the body experiences a “pump effect,” where blood vessels expand and contract, flushing toxins, reducing muscle soreness, and improving recovery.
Benefits of Contrast Therapy:
✔️ Boosts Circulation – Helps move oxygen-rich blood to muscles and tissues.
✔️ Reduces Inflammation – Helps with post-workout recovery and injury prevention.
✔️ Enhances Muscle Recovery – Ideal for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those dealing with soreness.
✔️ Improves Mood & Mental Clarity – The shock of cold + the relaxation of heat helps release endorphins.
✔️ Strengthens the Immune System – Exposure to extreme temperatures may improve resilience to stress.
How to Do It:
1️⃣ Start with Heat (10-30 minutes in a sauna)
2️⃣ Switch to Cold (1-5 minutes in a cold plunge)
3️⃣ Repeat weekly or monthly for maximum benefits.
