Contrast Therapy

Sauna & cold plunge in Austin.

Full-spectrum infrared sauna paired with cold plunge therapy. The most effective recovery protocol in one session, under one roof.

The Protocol

Heat. Cold. Repeat.

Contrast therapy alternates between infrared heat and cold immersion to trigger your body’s natural recovery response.

Infrared Sauna

15-30 minutes

Full-spectrum infrared heat penetrates at three depths, raising core temperature and promoting a deep, effective sweat.

Cold Plunge

2-5 minutes

Controlled cold immersion triggers vasoconstriction, reduces inflammation, and floods your system with norepinephrine.

Optional: Normatec

20-30 minutes

Add compression therapy to flush fluid and enhance circulation after your contrast session.

Why Contrast Therapy

Science-backed recovery you can feel.

Reduce Inflammation

Alternating between heat and cold exposure drives blood flow and helps flush metabolic waste, reducing muscle soreness and joint inflammation.

Accelerate Recovery

Professional athletes use contrast therapy to recover faster between training sessions. Our protocol combines infrared heat with cold immersion for maximum effect.

Improve Circulation

The vasodilation-vasoconstriction cycle from hot to cold strengthens vascular function and improves overall circulation over time.

Boost Mental Clarity

Cold exposure triggers norepinephrine release, improving focus, energy, and stress resilience. The sauna promotes deep relaxation and parasympathetic recovery.

FAQ

Common questions.

Both can be FSA/HSA-eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for a diagnosed condition — hypertension, chronic pain, or arthritis for sauna, and chronic inflammation or chronic pain for cold plunge. Our physical therapists can write LMNs within the scope of physical therapy, though some FSA/HSA administrators require one from a physician. Check with your plan administrator before booking.
