Contrast Therapy Intake & Waiver

Contrast Therapy—which involves alternating between heat (infrared sauna) and cold (cold plunge)—can be a powerful tool for relaxation, recovery, and overall well-being. However, it is not appropriate for everyone. Some individuals should avoid these therapies altogether, while others should proceed with caution. The following checklist is designed to help identify any considerations specific to you and to ensure you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks involved in using these modalities.

Recommendations:

  • Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by an adult; older adults and those with medical conditions should consult a physician before use.
  • Stay well hydrated before, during, and after your session.
  • Limit sauna use to no more than 30 minutes at a time, and keep temperatures below 160°F.
  • Cold plunge sessions should be brief—generally 2–5 minutes per round is sufficient.
  • Always enter and exit both the sauna and cold plunge slowly and mindfully.
  • Listen to your body: discontinue use if you feel light-headed, dizzy, overly chilled, or heat-exhausted.
  • Avoid using these modalities under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or certain medications.
  • Do not submerge your head in the cold plunge unless you are experienced and feel safe doing so.
  • if you have any medical condition that may be affected by exposure to heat or cold, please consult your healthcare provider before using the sauna or cold plunge.

I acknowledge and accept the risks inherent in the use of the Full Spectrum, infrared Sauna and Cold Plunge. I voluntarily assume the risk of injury, accident or death, which may arise from the use of these modalities. I and any of my heirs, executors, representatives or assigns hereby release from all claims or liabilities for personal injury or property damages of any kind sustained while on the premises, during the use of the equipment and from any advice provided by an employee, independent contractor or any representative. I agree that this Application and Waiver is in effect for all Contrast  Therapy sessions and will not expire unless requested by either party.
