Contrast Therapy Experience at VHR Radlett
At VHR, our Contrast Therapy experience is a carefully designed wellness ritual that combines cutting-edge recovery science with premium comfort. By alternating between deep-penetrating infrared heat and precision cooled ice baths, we help your body reset, recover, and recharge—both physically and mentally.
This is not just contrast therapy. This is the VHR way.
What Is Contrast Therapy?
Contrast therapy involves alternating exposure to infrared heat and cold, creating a powerful natural response within the body. Heat encourages blood vessels to expand, while cold causes them to constrict. This rhythmic shift stimulates circulation, supports recovery, and promotes overall wellbeing.
At VHR, we elevate this practice by pairing infrared sauna therapy with red light technology alongside two professionally calibrated ice baths, allowing you to tailor the experience to your tolerance and goals.
The VHR Bespoke Setup
Infrared Sauna with Red Light Therapy
Our state-of-the-art infrared sauna works differently from traditional saunas. Instead of heating the air, infrared heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, promoting a more effective and comfortable sweat.
● Red light panelling supports cellular function and skin health
● Helps relax tight muscles and ease joint stiffness
● Encourages detoxification through deep, therapeutic sweating
● Integrated TV allows you to unwind, focus, or be entertained while you recover
Dual Ice Bath Experience
We offer two ice baths, allowing for personalised contrast and progression:
● 4°C ice bath – for experienced cold exposure and maximum stimulation
● 10°C ice bath – ideal for controlled recovery and gradual adaptation
