🔥❄️ Contrast Therapy: Infrared Sauna + Ice Bath—What Does the Research Say? ❄️🔥

Thinking about combining infrared sauna and ice bath for recovery? Here are the evidence-backed facts:

What is Contrast Therapy?
Contrast therapy alternates between heat (like an infrared sauna) and cold (like an ice bath) to produce rapid changes in blood flow. The heat phase dilates blood vessels (vasodilation), increasing circulation, while the cold phase constricts vessels (vasoconstriction), reducing inflammation and muscle soreness.

Key Benefits, According to PubMed Research:

Improved Blood Flow:
Contrast therapy with infrared and cold exposure is more effective at boosting blood flow than traditional hot/cold water baths, which can accelerate recovery and healing.

Reduced Muscle Stiffness & Pain:
Both infrared sauna and ice bath help increase pain threshold and reduce muscle stiffness, making this combo useful for post-exercise recovery.

Enhanced Muscle Elasticity:
Alternating between heat and cold improves muscle elasticity and can help maintain mobility after intense activity.

Joint Range of Motion:
Research shows contrast therapy can improve joint range of motion and reduce pain scores in musculoskeletal conditions.

How to Use Contrast Therapy:

Typical Protocol:
15–20 minutes in an infrared sauna (typically 48–60°C), followed by 2–5 minutes in an ice bath (8–15°C). Repeat for 2–4 cycles, always finishing with cold.

Listen to Your Body:
Adjust times and temperatures based on your experience and comfort. Always consult a health professional if you have medical conditions.

Here at The Recovery Centre we offer contrast therapy for those wanting to try it. Bookings are available online or by calling 0497009022.
