The Power of

Contrast Therapy

Strand Fitness Recovery Just Got Even Smarter

At Strand Fitness, recovery is just as important as training — and now we’ve taken it to the next level with our guided Contrast Therapy Protocol. Whether you’re hitting personal bests in the gym, feeling the winter chill, or just needing to recharge after a big week, this recovery ritual is your go-to.

What is Contrast Therapy?

Contrast therapy alternates between hot and cold treatments — boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, supporting immunity, and helping your body (and mind) bounce back faster.

It’s not just recovery. It’s performance.
