Sauna & Ice Bath Christchurch
Feel the heat. Love the cold. Find comfort in discomfort.
Contrast therapy - where you alternate between spending time in an ice bath and a sauna - is a powerful, proven method of training your physical and mental resilience. At O-Studio we have both Infrared saunas and traditional saunas, offering private and communal experiences. Sauna has been used for centuries to boost the immune system, fight off stress and give the body much needed relaxation. When combined with a cool down in our ice baths, your body and mind will thank you.
Book your contrast therapy session below. Individual and Communal sessions available.
How does contrast therapy work?
Contrast therapy works in much the same way as using heat packs and/or ice packs to treat injuries. Alternating between heat and cold forces the blood vessels in your body to open and close, creating a pumping action. This may help anyone experiencing aches and chronic pain, and those with repetitive strain injuries.
What type of sauna is right for me?
Ice Bath
Our ice bath experience is designed to contrast the heat of a sauna and provide a quick and intense exposure to cold water, promoting various health benefits such as improved circulation and reduced muscle inflammation. Whether you're seeking post-workout recovery or an invigorating experience, our sauna and ice bath protocols offer a refreshing way to reset your body and mind.

Why choose sauna & ice bath contrast therapy?
Take the plunge - your way
Our traditional sauna is a communal space where you can relax and enjoy the heat with friends or fellow sauna users. Alternatively, if you seek a more cozy, private experience, our infrared saunas provide an environment where you can unwind solo or with a friend.
Boost your mood
Sauna use has been shown to ease pain and significantly reduce stress levels, and there’s no better place to train resilience than through controlled breathing in the ice bath. Many people who use contrast therapy say they experience an overall better sense of wellbeing, improved mood, and enhanced sleep.
Health benefits
Contrast therapy offers numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, enhanced recovery, pain relief, improved circulation, stress reduction, and more, making it an effective and holistic approach to overall well-being.
