Come on then, what's it all about
One minute you’re in a lovely warm Sauna thinking, “Aah, this is nice,” next thing you’re plunging yourself into water colder than Scarborough sea in February, questioning all your life choices. Then back to warm again. Then cold. Then warm. You get the idea. It’s like doing the hokey cokey with your body temperature.
What’s it supposed to do?
All this faffing about between hot and cold gets your blood flowing like it’s late for the last bus home. The heat opens up your blood vessels, then the cold snaps ‘em shut again — a bit like how your dad reacts when he sees the heating’s been left on.
This “vascular gymnastics” (as the fancy folk call it) helps flush out the bad stuff, reduce swelling, ease sore muscles, and makes you feel fresh as a daisy. A daisy that’s been through a tumble dryer and a snowstorm, but still — fresh.
Why would anyone choose to do this?
Good question. People swear by it. Athletes, gym bunnies, your mate down the pub who’s suddenly into recovery and your everyday mum and dad. It helps with:
Muscle aches and pains
Stiff joints
Post-workout groaning
Feeling like a new human
And giving you something dramatic to post on Instagram
In summary…
Contrast therapy is basically you playing tag with heat and cold. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, makes you feel alive (or like you're being slightly tortured, depending on your tolerance), and believe it or not — it works.
So if you’re up for a bit of hot, cold, hot, cold action (and not the sort that involves tea and forgetting where you left your jumper), give it a whirl.
Just don’t forget your towel. We can even do you a cup of Yorkshire finest Tea.
So you’ve probably heard folk bangin’ on about contrast therapy lately — sounds fancy, doesn’t it? But really, it’s just posh talk for jumping between hot and cold like you can’t make your mind up.
Right then. Let’s talk about cold water therapy — or as we like to call it up here in Yorkshire: “jumpin’ in’t freezing water and pretending it’s good for you.”
