- Amenities: Other essentials, including fresh towels and premium showering products, will be provided by ARAH for your convenience.
That’s such a great question!
It depends on what your purpose is. As a beginner, we recommend starting with cold because it will be easier than starting with heat.
However, if you have experience doing ice baths before, you might start with heat to warm up your muscles and increase circulation.
We recommend doing contrast therapy for 2-3 rounds per session, 2-3 times per week.
Friendly reminder: if you overdo it, your body may experience cardiovascular strain, dehydration, skin damage, fatigue/soreness, and increased risk for individuals with specific conditions like diabetes or Raynaud’s disease.
We recommend that you design your own contrast therapy routine. Details below:
- Finish with cold: Generally recommended to end the entire session with cold exposure to maximise recovery benefits and leave you feeling energised and alert.
- Finish with heat: Can potentially worsen acute inflammation or swelling if you have a fresh injury or are highly inflamed from an intense workout, though it is excellent for chronic muscle tightness.
Duration per round
Start with heat: 10-15 minutes, then rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before doing cold for 2-5 minutes. Repeat for 2-3 cycles per session.
Start with cold: 2-5 minutes, then rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before doing heat for 10-15 minutes. Repeat for 2-3 cycles per session.
Listen closely to your body during the session.
If you feel unwell, such as dizziness, feeling faint, difficulty breathing, chest pain, uncontrollable shivering, or burning pain on the skin.
Exit immediately. The golden rule is to listen to your body and be gentle with yourself

Alternating between hot and cold creates “contrast therapy”.
The benefits you will achieve include speeding up physical recovery, alleviating muscle soreness, building mental resilience, and leaving the guest feeling energised, alert, and calm.
Before Exercise : You can use heat therapy (after a 45-minute rest period following prior therapy) to help warm up and loosen tight muscles before activity
Immediately After Exercise : Apply heat therapy immediately after your workout to promote muscle recovery and increase blood flow to the area. This helps to relax the muscles and draw nutrients into the tissues to assist in healing
24 Hours After Exercise : After 24 hours (or up to 48-72 hours if needed), switch to cold therapy to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), swelling, and inflammation. Cold therapy constricts blood vessels, which numbs pain and slows the inflammatory process.
A frequency of 2-3 times per week is generally sufficient and highly beneficial for most people.
Meanwhile, for athletes and sportspersons, we recommend 2-5 times per week, often performed after intense workouts or competitions.
