What Is Contrast Therapy?
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold treatments—commonly via water immersion—to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and speed up muscle recovery.
How It Works
Hot immersion relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. Cold immersion constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and flushing out waste products. Alternating between the two triggers a “pumping” effect in the circulatory system, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues.
Research in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research shows contrast water therapy can reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery times in athletes.
