Contrast Therapy in San Antonio: Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge

Contrast therapy is the practice of alternating between heat and cold exposure to trigger powerful circulatory, anti-inflammatory, and recovery responses. It is one of the oldest and most effective recovery protocols, used by elite athletes, physical therapists, and biohackers worldwide.

At bioworX Leon Springs, contrast therapy combines our Clearlight Sanctuary™ full-spectrum infrared sauna with an ozone-filtered cold plunge in a private room. The heat dilates blood vessels and promotes deep detoxification, while the cold constricts vessels and reduces inflammation — creating a vascular pump effect that accelerates healing.

Each session is self-guided in your private room, with our staff available to recommend timing protocols and answer questions. Most clients alternate 3–4 rounds of heat and cold over a 45–60 minute session.
