CONTRAST THERAPY SORRENTO

Heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate (vasodilation), increasing blood flow to the skin and muscles.

Cold from the ice bath triggers vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), which helps push blood back toward the core. This "pump effect" promotes better circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues more efficiently.

Infrared sauna helps relax muscles and joints, and the heat penetrates deep into tissues to reduce stiffness.

Ice baths reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels and numbing nerve endings, decreasing muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerating recovery after intense exercise.

Alternating between heat and cold helps flush out metabolic waste products like lactic acid from muscles while bringing in fresh, nutrient-rich blood to aid in tissue repair and recovery.

Regular use of contrast therapy has been shown to boost the immune system by improving lymphatic drainage, which helps the body get rid of toxins and pathogens more efficiently.

Moving between extreme temperatures can be a mental challenge, helping build mental toughness and resilience.

The heat promotes relaxation, while the ice bath gives an adrenaline rush that improves alertness. Alternating between extremes also releases endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress.

The infrared sauna opens up pores and promotes sweating, which can help detoxify the skin.

The ice bath tightens the pores and reduces puffiness or inflammation, potentially improving skin appearance over time.

Heat increases muscle flexibility and joint mobility, making it easier to stretch or perform rehabilitation exercises.

Cold can help reduce joint swelling and stiffness, particularly beneficial for athletes or people with arthritis.
