Improve Lymphatic Circulation with Hot Cold Therapy

— cold plunge, contrast therapy

Are you ready to take the plunge? Our exciting new contrast therapy program should tingle all of your senses and make your sore muscles come back to life!

A centuries-old, revered tradition, diligently practiced by elite athletes after every athletic performance, this health-boosting process of first taking an ice bath then immediately contrasting that with a sauna’s radiant heat, startles your mind, body, and immune system to new levels of supreme function!

Awaken your senses with our new contrast therapy program

Contrast therapy comes from a tradition that has been used for centuries by athletes and, more recently, Wim Hof fans. The contrast therapy experience begins as you alternate between hot and cold therapy treatments, cycling between infrared sauna sessions, ice baths, and rest. It improves blood circulation, helps you de-stress, and awakens your body and mind.

Hot cold therapy Los Angeles accelerates nutrient-rich blood flow, quells inflammation in your body, and heightens your senses. Contrast therapy sharpens mental focus, so athletic and creative clients alike come to relax and enjoy invigorating contrast therapy sessions at our wellness boutique in Los Angeles.

How it Works: the Pause Contrast Therapy Cycle

Those who have never tried contrast and cold therapy services before may be a bit worried about what this treatment entails, so allow us to break it down for you:

HEAT: Nine minutes

Toast yourself in our full-spectrum infrared sauna.

COLD: Three minutes

Plunge into sanitary, refreshing 48-degree water.

REST: Three minutes

Sit back and relax! Your body eases into homeostasis.

Want the maximum benefit? We recommend a 60-minute session. You go four times through the cycle: each time, the results are more profound.

If you’re in a hurry, why not cut the experience in half? We also offer a 30-minute contrast therapy session, where you plunge/heat up twice, instead of four times. You’ll get the same benefits – at half the time.
