RECOGNITION //

Sound familiar?

If any of these feel like your week, recovery is the variable you're missing.

01
Still sore two days after training
Still sore two days after training

DOMS that lingers past 48 hours and cuts your next session short.

02
High training volume, slow recovery
03
Performance drops mid-week
04
Tight muscles stretching cannot fix
05
Post-match fatigue lasting too long
06
Sleep disturbed by muscle discomfort
OUR APPROACH //

How R3BOOT reaches that pain.

Contrast therapy only works when it is done right. Temperatures must be precise, the protocol must be structured, and you need to know how to breathe through the cold phase. This is what separates a clinical protocol from a cold dip.

01

Health screening before every session

Contrast therapy is not appropriate for everyone. We run a brief intake before your first session and flag any conditions that need modification or deferral. You are not just buying a cold dip.

02

Breathing guided before the cold phase

The first 60 seconds in ice-cold water is manageable when you know how to breathe through it. We teach you before you get in. No guessing, no hyperventilating.

03

Day Cycle or Night Cycle - decided for you

Day Cycle ends cold to lock in the anti-inflammatory effect and keep you energised. Night Cycle ends hot to down-regulate your nervous system and support sleep. Your physiotherapist decides based on your training schedule.

04

Temperatures held precisely, not approximately

Infrared sauna at 68°C. Ice bath at 6-10°C. These are the evidence-based ranges. We maintain them. Contrast therapy only works when temperatures are far enough apart to trigger vascular response.

HOW IT WORKS //

What contrast therapy does to your body

When you alternate between heat and cold, your body responds at a vascular level. Repeating the cycle two to three times creates a pumping action that clears metabolic waste at a rate passive rest cannot match.

68°C
6–10°C
CYCLE
01

Heat phase at 68°C

Blood vessels dilate. Blood flow to muscles increases. Oxygen and nutrients reach damaged tissue. Muscle tension decreases.

02

Cold phase at 6–10°C

Blood vessels constrict. Blood and metabolic waste - lactic acid, inflammatory cytokines - are forced away from muscles. Swelling reduces.

03

The alternation effect

Repeating the cycle creates a vascular pumping action. Research shows contrast therapy reduces perceived muscle soreness significantly more than cold immersion alone.

COMPARISON //

Contrast Therapy delivers more than cold alone.

Ice baths have their place. But alternating heat and cold creates a vascular pumping effect that clears more waste, reduces soreness and supports better performance.

HYGIENE //

Clean water. Clean setup. Every session.

Cold and heat therapy only works when it is administered safely. Our ice bath and sauna are cleaned and screened between every client, not at the end of the day.

01

Filtered ice bath water

Ice bath water is filtered and screened after every single session, not just at the end of the day.

02

Sanitised between sessions

Sauna, tub, and changing areas are cleaned and sanitised before every client, not on a daily schedule.

03

Fresh towels, every time

Every client is given a fresh, laundered towel. Nothing is reused between sessions.

04

Clinical hygiene standard

Single-use disposables where needed, held to the same hygiene standard as our physiotherapy clinic.

The deep tissue massage, cupping therapy, and ice water treatment helped relieve my body stiffness tremendously, while the sauna session left me feeling completely rejuvenated. Professional and well-equipped.
