Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy is a transformative practice that combines the best of heat and cold exposure to promote physical recovery, mental clarity, and overall health. The technique is rooted in ancient healing traditions, where hot springs and cold rivers were used for rejuvenation. Modern technology has refined this practice with the advent of infrared saunas and controlled cold plunges, allowing clients to experience consistent and effective results.

 

In our Satisana Wellness Contrast Therapy room, we provide an infrared sauna and a cold plunge with filter. You can repeat the hot and cold cycle multiple times during a session, creating a powerful and holistic approach to improving physical and mental well-being.

​

Whether you're seeking relief from muscle soreness, improved immunity, or a way to unwind and recharge, this therapy offers a holistic approach to wellness. By integrating infrared sauna sessions with cold plunges, clients can experience a unique and effective path toward rejuvenation.

Infrared Sauna

​

An infrared sauna uses infrared light to directly heat the body, penetrating deep into the tissues. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the surrounding air, infrared saunas deliver warmth to muscles, joints, and skin at a more cellular level.

​

Here’s what the body experiences during the infrared sauna phase:

  • Increased Circulation: Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow and delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells.

  • Detoxification: Sweating helps eliminate toxins such as heavy metals, chemicals, and other impurities from the body.

  • Muscle Relaxation: The soothing heat reduces muscle tension and stiffness, making it an excellent recovery tool for athletes or those with chronic pain.

  • Stress Relief: The warm, calming environment can promote relaxation, reducing cortisol levels and alleviating stress.

Cold plunge

After the body is heated in the infrared sauna, immersion in a cold plunge rapidly cools it down. This sharp temperature contrast provides a range of physiological effects.
 

Here’s how the body reacts during the cold plunge phase:

  • Vasoconstriction: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation and swelling while promoting recovery.

  • Endorphin Release: The shock of the cold triggers the release of endorphins, providing a natural mood boost and increasing energy levels.

  • Enhanced Immunity: Exposure to cold stimulates the production of white blood cells, supporting the immune system.

  • Pain Relief: Cold water numbs the skin and decreases nerve activity, providing relief from pain and soreness.
