What is Contrast Therapy?

Sure, it’s alternating hot and cold exposure. But not all sources of heat and cold are created equal. And not all protocols are effective.

Do you know how to optimize your Contrast Therapy routine to gain the specific benefits you’re looking for?

In this 2-hour class, Certified Thermalist, Denise Tompkins will be breaking down the science of how to use heat, cold and hormetic (ie. good) stress to cultivate optimal health and resilience.

You’ll come away with a solid understanding of the how and why behind Contrast Therapy, so that you feel confident in your daily work with extreme temperatures and hormetic stress.

The class will be about 100 minutes of presentation, followed by 20 minutes for questions.

Here are some of the exciting topics we’ll cover:

• different types of heat and cold, and their impact on the body

• how to apply Contrast Therapy as part of your disease prevention or treatment plan

• the importance of intensity, and the added benefits it offers

• understanding your thermoregulatory system, and the “after drop” (after cold plunging)
