Praxium lists 2 verified studios offering contrast therapy in Brooklyn: Perspire Sauna Studio - Williamsburg, Recoverie.

A full contrast therapy session typically runs 60–90 minutes, cycling between heat and cold two to four times. Most studios guide recommended timing. The contrast between sensations is striking — cold feels more intense after heat, and heat feels more rewarding after cold. Most people feel deeply relaxed, physically tired, and mentally clear after a complete session.

Contrast therapy involves deliberately alternating between hot and cold exposures — typically cycling between an infrared sauna, steam room, or hot tub and a cold plunge or cold shower. The alternating thermal pattern is the defining feature: each stimulus produces its own physiological response, and the cycling is thought to amplify circulatory benefits.
