Cold Plunge
Cold plunge therapy immerses your body in cold water (typically 45–55°F) for short intervals, triggering rapid blood vessel constriction, stress-hormone release, and activation of brown fat. Research on cold-water immersion suggests it can reduce perceived muscle soreness, influence inflammation markers, and support stress resilience and mood when used appropriately alongside training and recovery.

Cryotherapy
Whole-body cryotherapy exposes your skin to very cold air (often −110 to −150°C) for 2–3 minutes, rapidly cooling the surface while core temperature stays stable. Short, controlled cold stress like this has been shown to affect inflammatory markers, perceived pain, and recovery in athletes, and may trigger endorphin and norepinephrine release that contributes to mood and energy changes afterward.

Compression Therapy
Compression therapy uses inflatable sleeves or boots that rhythmically squeeze your limbs to encourage venous return and lymphatic drainage between pressure cycles. Sports science research suggests these pneumatic compression systems can reduce limb swelling, improve perceived recovery, and help clear metabolic byproducts after intense training when combined with a solid overall recovery plan.

Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy alternates periods of heat and cold exposure—such as sauna plus cold plunge—to repeatedly dilate and constrict blood vessels. Studies on contrast water therapy in athletes suggest this thermal cycling can reduce perceived muscle soreness, influence inflammation and circulation, and support recovery when timed appropriately around training sessions.
