At O-Studio, we combine ice bath therapy with the soothing warmth of sauna sessions, a practice known as contrast therapy. This approach, deeply rooted in Scandinavian traditions, takes advantage of the body's natural reaction to temperature changes.
The transition from heat to cold stimulates circulation, improves cardiovascular function, and supports the nervous system. Many people find that this cycle of warming and cooling not only relieves muscle tension but also fosters deep relaxation and a greater sense of overall well-being.
Whether you're an athlete looking to speed up muscle recovery, someone managing stress and seeking mental clarity, or simply curious about exploring a new wellness practice, contrast therapy offers a range of benefits for both body and mind. The alternating temperatures challenge your body to adapt, boosting endurance, strengthening immunity, and enhancing overall vitality.
At O-Studio, we provide a safe, welcoming space to experience contrast therapy at your own pace. Whether it's your first session or part of your regular wellness routine, our expert team is here to guide you, answer your questions, and ensure you get the most out of your experience.

Ice bath therapy is also known as cold water immersion and involves you sitting in an ice bath which is generally between 6 and 10 degrees. It works by constricting the blood vessels in your skin and upon exit these blood vessels dilate and quickly begin to flush toxins from your body. It can also assist your lymphatic system to move fluids around your body and help with pain and inflammation.
When you experience a sauna before going in an ice bath, you can enhance recovery by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation. Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, while cold causes them to constrict, improving circulation. Sweating in the sauna removes toxins and the contrast stimulates the nervous system, promoting mental clarity.
