Sauna vs Ice Bath: Why Both Matter
Sauna and ice baths offer different benefits, but they work best when used together.
Sauna and ice baths offer different benefits, but they work best when used together.
Heat helps the body relax, increases circulation, and supports recovery. Cold exposure stimulates alertness, challenges the nervous system, and helps reduce muscle soreness.
By alternating between the two, contrast therapy allows the body to move between relaxation and stimulation. This balance can improve recovery while leaving you feeling calm and energised.
