Contrast Therapy trains your nervous system to shift from stress to calm by hot-cold cycling.
❊ Contrast Therapy 101
Build heat slowly to increase heart rate.
Spend 15-30 minutes in 140-170°F infrared heat to activate your sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood flow.
01Cold plunge to regulate nervous system.
Take 1-3 minutes in a cold plunge chilled to 42-50F. This kickstarts your parasympathetic system, known for "rest and digest."
02Cycle and repeat, recover better.
By cycling between hot and cold, you train your mind, body, and nervous system to transition smoothly between stress and rest.
