The Benefits of Contrast Mineral Pools
Unlock the power of Contrast Mineral Pools—an advanced wellness experience designed to optimise your body’s recovery, promote longevity, and elevate your overall health.
The principles behind contrast therapy have been practiced for centuries and for good reasons. Hot water increases blood flow, helping muscles relax, loosen up, and release tension while cold water, on the other hand, helps to constrict blood vessels, reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. By alternating between hot and cold temperatures, you activate a process known as “vascular gymnastics,” which improves circulation, stimulating the lymphatic system to support the removal of toxins from your body. This dynamic interplay helps to optimise cellular function, speed up recovery, and promote overall wellness.

Breaking Down the Benefits of the Contrast Mineral Pools
-
Mineral-rich water nourishes the skin, while the alternating temperatures work to increase blood flow to the skin’s surface, promoting a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion and natural glow.
-
The combination of hot and cold water stimulates the body’s natural immune responses, increasing the production of white blood cells and enhancing your body’s ability to fight off infections.
-
Contrast mineral baths help to regulate inflammation, alleviate joint pain, and promote faster recovery from injuries by encouraging blood vessels to constrict and dilate.
-
The hot water relaxes muscles and eases tension, while the cold water helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain, making this therapy perfect for post-workout recovery or managing chronic pain.

How often you incorporate contrast therapy into your routine depends on your personal wellness goals. Those looking to enhance their post-workout recovery may utilise contrast therapy more frequently (up to 4 times per week). With this said, recent research on cold therapy indicates that you can reap the benefits from just one session (up to 11 minutes) of cold exposure.
-
Contrast Therapy provides additional benefits on top of those associated with an Ice Bath due to the process of alternating between hot and cold temperatures. These include, improved circulation and detoxification, eased muscle tension, boosted immune function, reduced inflammation and faster recovery – all of which occur as a result of “vascular gymnastics”.
-
The best way to utilise the Contrast Mineral pools is to warm your body in the hot pool for approximately 10 minutes, before alternating between the hot and cold pools. If you’re new to contrast therapy, start with 4 minutes in the hot pool, 1 minute in the cold pool. Repeat this 3 times. As you build a tolerance to the cold temperature, increase the duration until you can achieve 4 minutes in both the hot and cold pools, slowly working towards repeating this as many times as you can in one session (i.e. complete this cycle as many times as you can within your session time).
-
If you are under 16, are currently pregnant or suffer from the following health concerns it is advised that you do not participate in contrast therapy (high blood pressure, deep vein thrombosis, untreated epilepsy or have been diagnosed with a heart condition). Please consult your medical practitioner prior to booking in your session if you are unsure.
