Useful Info
Suggested Usage:
• 1-2 contrast therapy sessions per week. Determined by your personal needs and goals.
• Discover for yourself what feels best. You will build a tolerance and develop your strengths and comfort level with the cold plunge and infrared sauna, steady increasing the duration of each series through experience.
• For beginners – Warm up in the sauna (7-9 minutes). Cool off in the plunge (1 minute). Dry off well before re-entering the sauna. Relax and Repeat as necessary.
While StretchSource feels there are many health benefits to contrast therapy, we always recommend speaking with your medical doctor before using contrast therapy. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant, those managing chronic health conditions such as Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors, Raynaud’s disease, Lupus, Diabetes and Neuropathy, a recent joint injury less then 72 hours, metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants in the body, those who are prone to high blood pressure as extreme temperature changes may be shocking to the system, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
When it comes to the cold plunge, experts recommend a momentary plunge, and a build up of minutes in the cold water over time. StretchSource does not promote attempting to self-treat any disease with contrast therapy without direct supervision of a certified physician. Proper hydration is a primary requirement for contrast therapy use. Drinking plenty of fluids is recommended before, during and your visit. Always consult your physician.
