Modality MatchStep 1 of 5

What matters most to you right now?

Modality Match offers wellness guidance for exploring recovery modalities — it is not medical advice and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to a qualified clinician before starting a new protocol, especially if you're pregnant or managing a health condition.

How the match works

Ranked on your answers, nothing else

Your goal leads

Each modality's published profile — benefits, who it's for, what the science says — is matched against the goal you pick. Strong overlap moves it up the ranking.

Fire & ice weighs in

Love the heat? Sauna-family modalities get a boost. Live for the plunge? Cold leads. No preference means results decide on merit alone.

Cautions are respected

Check a health flag and any modality whose published cautions mention it is set aside with a talk-to-your-doctor note — never quietly recommended.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Modality Match quiz work?

You answer five quick questions — your primary goal, whether you lean hot or cold, time per week, budget band, and any health flags. We score the consumer-bookable modalities in the Praxium directory against your answers using each published profile (benefits, who it's for, cautions) and rank the field. Diagnostics, injectables and clinician-administered procedures are left out on purpose: this is goal-based sequencing, not medical advice. Your top three appear instantly.

Is the quiz free?

Yes — the quiz and your top-three matches are free and instant, no email required. Entering your email opens the full ranked plan on this page and lets you request a shortlist of studios near you.

Is this medical advice?

No. Modality Match is wellness guidance for exploring recovery modalities — it does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a clinician. Health flags are used only to set aside modalities whose published cautions mention them, with a note to talk to your doctor.

Which modalities can it recommend?

Everything in the live Praxium directory — cold plunge, infrared sauna, red light therapy, cryotherapy, compression, HBOT, float, contrast therapy, and more. The list grows as the directory does.

What do I get if I enter my email?

Your full plan opens on this page: every eligible modality ranked with the reasoning and a weekly cadence suggestion. You can also request a shortlist of listed studios near you; your email gives the team a way to follow up on that request.
