kontråst therapy is an invigorating dance of temperature contrasts as your body harmonizes the benefits of combined hot and cold exposure therapies. When you book a kontråst therapy session you will have access to our hot sauna and cold plunge throughout the duration of your service. Learn more about kontråst therapy.

If you have a heart condition, severe neuropathy, or respiratory conditions, or are an individual who is pregnant you should not use kontråst therapy. Clients who are elderly, hypersensitive to extreme temperatures, or have Raynaud’s (chronic cold hands and feet) should proceed with caution before deciding to use kontråst therapy.

To find balance between the results from your workout and your cold plunge, we suggest completing your kontråst Therapy prior to your workout as studies have shown cold plunging within 4-6 after resistance training can block hypertrophy (the growth of muscle cells, resulting in an increase in muscle size and strength).

Just like our massage services are personalized for each person, whether or not you should work out after your massage varies by individual. We suggest taking a rest day after your massage appointment to allow your body time to fully relax and take in the benefits of your massage service. But, you know your body best. If you do work out, consider a lighter workout than typical.
