Contrast therapy

Contrast therapy is a wellness and recovery practice that involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures, typically through saunas, hot baths, cold plunges, or showers. The practice uses temperature changes to stimulate physiological responses, including changes in blood circulation, and may help reduce muscle soreness, support post-exercise recovery, and promote relaxation, although evidence for some claimed benefits remains limited. Contrast therapy primarily appeals to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and wellness-focused individuals seeking to improve physical recovery, manage muscle discomfort, and support overall well-being.
