TREATMENTS
Contrast therapy is a dynamic fusion of activity and constriction. By alternating between raising and then slowing the heart rate, it creates a powerful mood boost and enhances energy levels.
This contrast not only stimulates circulation but also triggers the release of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, leaving you feeling euphoric and revitalised.
BENEFITS OF CONTRAST THERAPY
The sauna's heat dilates blood vessels, promoting blood flow to supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which accelerates the healing process.
Contrast therapy can help to reduce the amount of time it takes for the body to recover from a workout or an injury. This is because it helps to reduce inflammation and improve circulation.
Cold temperatures have the ability to reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels and decreasing blood flow to the affected area. This can result in a reduction of swelling, pain, and stiffness.
The sauna's warmth releases beta-endorphins, a pain-suppressing chemical.
A hormone that enhances brain function by stimulating myelin growth and repairing nerve cells.
Heat stimulates the growth of new brain cells (BDNF), enhances learning, memory, and combats cognitive decline and depression.
Dopamine is released in the body, stimulating the body's reward and pleasure systems, enhancing learning, motivation, and mood.
A hormone/neurotransmitter that enhances vigilance, focus, attention, and mood.
