Experience the powerful combination of Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge at Avalanche Recovery & Wellness.
Contrast Therapy alternates heat and cold exposure to create a full-body recovery experience designed to support circulation, muscle recovery, energy, resilience, and overall wellness.
Whether you're recovering from a workout, dealing with everyday soreness, or simply want to feel refreshed and recharged, contrast therapy is one of the easiest ways to make recovery part of your routine.
What is Contrast Therapy?
THE POWER OF HOT + COLD
Contrast Therapy combines periods of heat exposure in an infrared sauna with cold-water immersion in a cold plunge.
Heat encourages blood vessels to expand and increases circulation, while cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict. Alternating between the two creates a dynamic circulatory response while exposing the body to controlled temperature changes.
The result is a recovery experience that can leave you feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for what's next.
