Everything You’ve Wanted to Ask About Contrast Therapy in Greer, SC

Q: What is contrast therapy, really?

A: It’s the practice of alternating between heat (like an infrared sauna) and cold (like a cold plunge) to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and reset your nervous system. Think of it as the natural way to drain tension from your body—and restore it fast.

Q: How cold is the plunge?

A: At Polarity Plunge, our cold plunges are typically set between 50°F and 55°F. It’s cold, yes—but purposefully cold. That sweet spot is where your body kicks into recovery mode without going into shock.

Q: How long do I stay in the cold plunge?

A: We guide you through cycles. You might start with 1 minute in the cold, then return to heat, and build from there. Most clients do 2–3 rounds of contrast (hot + cold) for a total session time of 20–30 minutes.

Q: What should I wear to my session?

A: Simple: Wear what you’d wear to the gym or a hot yoga class. Most clients bring a swimsuit or compression shorts + sports bra, and we provide towels. You’ll be in a private room, so comfort is key.

Q: Will I be freezing the whole time?

A: Nope. The sauna session warms you up deeply, and the plunge is over before you know it. It’s just enough to challenge your system without overwhelming you. Most clients say the second round is way easier than the first.

Q: Is it painful? Or just uncomfortable?

A: It’s not painful—but it is intense. That first breath in the cold can feel like a shock, but within seconds, your body adjusts. And when you come out? That endorphin release is chef’s kiss.

Q: Do I have to be super fit to benefit from this?

A: Absolutely not. Our clients include moms, retirees, teachers, desk workers, and athletes. If you have a body and a heartbeat, you can benefit from contrast therapy.

Q: What if I have joint pain, sciatica, or inflammation?

A: That’s exactly what contrast therapy is built for. The heat loosens joints and muscles, and the cold reduces inflammation and improves recovery. We’ve had clients with sciatica, arthritis, and old injuries find real relief here.

Q: How often should I do it?

A: Many clients start with 1–2 sessions per week. After a few visits, you’ll start to notice better sleep, less soreness, and faster recovery. Some people come weekly for maintenance, while athletes may do it 3x/week during training cycles.

Q: Do I need an appointment?

A: Yes. Sessions are by appointment only to ensure your experience is private, peaceful, and never rushed. You can book online in just a few clicks.
