Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy is the therapeutic application of hot and cold temperatures to the body to support wellbeing. At Hana our contrast therapy involves moving between the heat of an infra-red sauna and the cold from our ice bath. As the body is heated, blood vessels at the surface dilate whereas the cold causes these same vessels to constrict.  This alternates blood flow between the extremities and internal organs, helping to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing.
