Contrast Water Therapy
Contrast Water Therapy involves alternating between hot and cold water exposure to promote recovery and improve circulation. This method is often used in physical therapy and wellness practices to help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. The heat relaxes muscles, while the cold constricts blood vessels, creating a pumping effect that enhances blood flow.
Typically, sessions may include soaking in a hot bath or using a hot shower, followed by a quick switch to cold water. This cycle can be repeated several times. Many athletes and individuals seeking relief from physical stress find Contrast Water Therapy beneficial for overall recovery and relaxation.
