Contrast Therapy

Contrast Therapy is a modality whereby patients utilize intentional heat exposure followed by significantly cold water immersion.

Contrast Therapy is an ancient healing method that aids in various health and wellness benefits, including accelerated recovery and reduction in inflammation. During Contrast Therapy the body experiences a rise in temperature: vasodilation, vasoconstriction, sweating. Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels; it enables more oxygen and nutrients to reach your cells. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels; it limits how much heat can be transferred from your core to your skin’s surface (where we lose heat through sweat). When you sweat, this cools off the body by transferring water from inside your cells to the outside (where it evaporates).
