CONTRAST THERAPY

Increased blood flow to tissues helps with healing, reduced edema, and improved limb function. It helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to soft tissues that remove waste products and speeds up recovery. Contrast Therapy can be used to treat injuries and reduce muscle soreness and delayed onset muscle soreness after exercise. Less pain equals more time enjoying the activities you love doing!

Increased blood flow and oxygenation to tissues reduces the risk of cardiovascular conditions like hypertension, arterial stiffness, heart attack, and stroke. It lowers blood pressure and resting heart rate. It improves heart rate variability by initiating vasodilation and vasoconstriction. This also improves endurance quickly. Studies have shown it reduces “all-cause mortality” by 40%.

Contrast Therapy increases norepinephrine which is responsible for boosted focus, clarity, and mood. It has a powerful effect on dopamine, increasing levels 250-500% above baseline. It combats and alleviates anxiety and depression by boosting serotonin and dopamine leaving you with a sense of well-being. Studies show one 20-minute sauna session between 176-212 F alleviates depression for up to 6 weeks.
