Effekt’s Contrast Therapy in Cascais combines ice baths with the heat of an infrared sauna to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate muscle recovery. Alternating between cold and heat promotes deep regeneration, strengthens the immune system, and increases physical and mental resilience.
Challenge your body with extreme temperatures
Contrast therapy reveals your body’s regenerative power by combining cold water immersion with infrared sauna sessions. This dynamic combination of opposing temperatures triggers vasoconstriction and vasodilation processes, which are essential for reducing inflammation and muscle pain and increasing circulation and tissue oxygenation.
The thermal oscillation not only causes a positive physical response, but also prepares your mind for new challenges, releasing endorphins that act as natural painkillers and elevate your mood. Each contrast therapy session is an opportunity to improve your athletic performance and strengthen your resilience.
Unlock your body’s potential with the help of cold and infrared light.
Contrast therapy is tailored to meet your needs and goals.
This treatment alternates between cold baths, which can last between 1 and 10 minutes, and infrared saunas, which last around 20 minutes.
We recommend starting and ending with cold, exposing your body to heat between cold baths.
The effects of contrast therapy are amazing for all ages and physical conditions. If you are a wellness enthusiast, come and try it.
