Consult a healthcare professional

Before starting any new therapy, especially if you have health concerns, consult with a doctor or healthcare provider.

Hydration

Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after sessions to prevent dehydration.

Practising contrast therapy safely

To ensure you enjoy the benefits of contrast therapy safely, follow these guidelines:

Gradual acclimatisation

Gradually acclimatise to both heat and cold temperatures to avoid shock. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase duration.

Monitoring body temperature

Be aware of your body's response and exit the sauna or plunge if you feel unwell.
