Hot & ColdContrast Therapy Tubs
Harness the power of temperature therapy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery through alternating hot and cold immersion.
What isContrast Therapy?
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold water immersion to create a "pumping" effect in your blood vessels. This technique has been used by athletes for decades to enhance recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
The hot water causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), while the cold water causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels). This alternating process improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and flushes out metabolic waste products from your muscles.

Benefits ofContrast Therapy
Experience the powerful recovery benefits of alternating temperature therapy
Reduced Inflammation
Cold immersion constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and inflammation in muscles and joints.
Improved Circulation
The alternating temperatures create a pumping effect that enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues.
Faster Recovery
Accelerates the removal of metabolic waste products and speeds up the muscle repair process.
Decreased Muscle Soreness
Effectively reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after intense training sessions.
Enhanced Range of Motion
Hot water relaxes muscles and increases flexibility, while cold reduces pain and stiffness.
Mental Clarity
The temperature contrast stimulates the nervous system, improving focus and reducing mental fatigue.
Best Practices forContrast Therapy
Start with Hot
Begin your session in the hot tub (102-104°F) for 3-4 minutes. This increases blood flow and relaxes your muscles.
Switch to Cold
Move to the cold tub (50-59°F) for 1 minute. This reduces inflammation and promotes vasoconstriction.
Repeat the Cycle
Alternate between hot and cold for 3-4 complete cycles, always ending with cold immersion.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your session to support the body's natural detoxification process.
Listen to Your Body
If you feel uncomfortable at any point, exit the tubs. Build up your tolerance gradually over multiple sessions.
