Realize the Health Benefits of Contrast Therapy

There are several forms of Contrast Therapy. Firefly's approach is more moderate with its definition. Regular use of Contrast Therapy at Firefly is a minimum of 20 minutes of infrared sauna and 2-5 minutes of cold-water plunge 3-4 days a week. Contrast Therapy does not need to be done all in one day but done consistently as a lifestyle change. One will gain quicker results with full sessions, and you can safely achieve that through Firefly's moderate approach of breaks between each change of temperature during your session. 

Physiological benefits from regular use of contrast therapy:
