It can be an effective practice for anyone suffering from chronic pains and aches. Some of the benefits of contrast therapy include:
Heat therapy is an effective approach for treating a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. Heat therapy requires that the warmth penetrates the skin and reaches the underlying tissues. There are two types of heat therapy: superficial and deep. Superficial heat therapy makes use of heating pads and hot baths, while deep heat therapy requires fancy machines.
Superficial heat therapy is sufficient for gaining therapeutic results by increasing blood flow, causing muscle to relax and and causing connective tissues to gain greater flexibility. Immediate effects include reduced stiffness, pain, and muscle spasms. It’s a fantastic treatment for anyone suffering from arthritis, strains, sprains or muscle spasms.
Cryotherapy is one of the most common ways to treat acute injuries. Ice packs are often the first treatment option recommended after a sprain or strain. Cryotherapy causes your blood vessels to narrow (a process called vasoconstriction), which then reduces the flow of blood towards the injury site. It’s extremely effective for reducing swelling, as well as inflammation.
Contrast therapy works by exerting a physiological effect on the body’s pain gate mechanism. This temporarily alters the pain signals traveling to and from your brain, which can bring a large amount of relief for many people dealing with chronic pain. Both nervous and musculoskeletal system pain can be cured by systematically using contrast baths or saunas.
Because heat expands and cold contracts, contrast therapy is also great for flushing out unwanted stagnant waste in the body by creating a “pumping” mechanism in the body. Contrast therapy can help flush lymph fluid efficiently throughout the body, thus reducing inflammation and the likelihood of getting ill. The pumping mechanism also helps boost the amount of nutrient-rich blood circulating around the body and can help you feel invigorated and alert.
We recommend swimming suits or shorts, or shorts and T-shirts. Please ensure to bring your own towel and water to stay hydrated.
