What is Contrast Therapy? 

Contrast therapy, also known as hot-cold immersion therapy, is a rejuvenating practice that involves alternating between exposure to hot and cold. This therapeutic technique has been utilized for centuries due to its myriad of benefits for both the body and mind. The Ancient Greeks used ice baths. Hippocrates, in the 4th century BC, documented the use of cold water for “medicinal purposes and analgesic benefit”. In the 1960s, scientists started exploring the use of cryotherapy to aid recovery, research that continues to verify that Hippocrates was right all along.

Often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation, the heat from the sauna helps to increase circulation, relax muscles, and promote detoxification through sweating. Conversely, the cold exposure constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and aids in muscle recovery. Together, it's an extremely useful technique to calm the mind and build resilience to cope with stress in real life. Ice baths can elevate your dopamine by more than 250%! That's a huge increase in happy hormones!

Our Sanctuary provides a calming environment for experiencing the rejuvenating effects of contrast therapy, allowing you to emerge feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to tackle whatever life throws your way.

Leading Hormetic Technology

Wanting to bring you closer to nature, we discovered Found Space Premium Range of Hormetic technology, including Australia's only outdoor Infrared Barrel Sauna and their new generation Cold Plunge.  

Our Infrared Outdoor Barrel Sauna takes inspiration from traditional Finnish design, updated with the latest full spectrum, infrared technology and superior build quality. Made from Japanese Cedar Wood, the outdoor barrel uses 5x Full spectrum infrared heaters (emitting near, mid and far infrared light) and 4x Carbon heaters (far infrared light), offering one of the highest heat density scores on the market. Red light therapy is used to support the musculoskeletal system by reducing inflammation and aiding muscle recovery and joint health. Red light therapy may also improve the appearance and health of the skin.

Our Cold Plunge is a beautifully designed Japanese Cedar wood tub with a 316 Stainless Steel tub. The tub is connected to a chilling unit with a premium ozone sterilization system and a 20-micron cartridge filter (filtering particles twice as small as other popular commercial ice baths). Hygiene and quality were paramount in our selection process. 

FAQs

What does a typical session look like? 

Our typical Sanctuary sessions involve 20 minutes in the Sauna, 1-3 minutes in the Ice Bath, and repeat. Try to finish on cold so that your body has to work to warm yourself up, activating your brown fat stores and increasing your metabolic rate.

We can also guide you through specific protocols addressing Pain Relief, Sleep, Weight Management, Detox and Recovery - Not every session has to include the ice bath either!

Why Infrared instead of a traditional steam Sauna? 

Traditional Saunas heat the air around you whereas Infrared Saunas heat the body from within. As the heat can penetrate tissues more effectively, Infrared Saunas are said to be best for assisting in muscle and joint recovery. Modern Infrared Saunas operate at a lower temperature, offering a more comfortable and gentle experience. Infrared Saunas also don't produce any steam, so the humidity remains lower. 

What to wear?

Please wear what you would normally wear to a public pool - Bathers are best. You can wear anything you are comfortable in (just not nude!)

What to bring?

2x Large Towels (one to sit on and one to dry off with).
A large water bottle to stay hydrated. Aim to drink 1-1.5L 

If you forget your towel, you can hire one for $5 when you arrive.
