What is contrast therapy?
Group guided contrast therapy experience (infrared sauna & cold plunge)
Note for BelleWho delivers contrast therapy differs between sources and is shown to no visitor: the live partners page credits Kristian Ryan of Third Spaces, the Encounter Bay guide p.21 credits Jaimi Baker of PEAQ Performance (plan/11 item 60).
Note for BelleThe sauna differs too: infrared in the guide, a Finnish barrel sauna in Kristian Ryan’s services, and the Beresford schedule adds breathwork.
