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.
Our communal traditional sauna relies on adding water to hot stones to heat the air, resulting in temperatures ranging from 80°C to 90°C, providing an intense heat. Traditional saunas are favoured by those who enjoy higher heat levels and the therapeutic effect of really sweating, while some prefer the mental challenge of the higher air temperature. It’s an ideal place to socialise and connect with others whilst you relax, recover and improve.
Our private infrared saunas are designed to heat your body directly through the use of infrared radiation, maintaining a more comfortable temperature range between 50°C to 70°C. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals who prefer a milder, sweat-inducing experience, allowing you to relax without the intensity of traditional saunas. Perfect for unwinding alone or with a friend while still reaping the therapeutic benefits a sauna offers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
