Wind River Spas, a well-established Colorado-based hot tub manufacturer known for crafting luxury hot tubs since 1978, has recently launched their latest innovation: the Contrast8 Contrast Therapy Tub. This dual-purpose tub integrates both hot and cold therapy, bringing professional-grade recovery treatment into the comfort of your home.
The Contrast8 is a cutting-edge therapy tub featuring separate sections for hot and cold water immersion (dual-temp). On one side, users can enjoy the soothing warmth of a traditional hot tub, while the other side delivers the benefits of cold water therapy. This unique design makes it simple to incorporate contrast therapy—alternating between hot and cold water—into your daily routine, enhancing muscle recovery and overall wellness.
Advanced Temperature Control
- Hot Water Therapy: The heating system allows users to heat water up to 104°F, which promotes muscle relaxation, stress relief, and improved blood circulation. Regular hot water immersion helps with relaxation and enhances the body’s oxygenation process.
- Cold Water Therapy: The tub’s cooling system drops water temperatures as low as 39°F, a key feature for athletes and wellness enthusiasts who use cold immersion to reduce inflammation, alleviate muscle soreness, and accelerate recovery.
Health Benefits of Contrast Therapy
The practice of alternating between hot and cold water immersion has been used for centuries to promote health and recovery. In the Contrast8, the rapid temperature shifts cause blood vessels to constrict in cold water and dilate in warm water, which helps flush out toxins, increase circulation, and reduce lactic acid buildup in muscles. This makes contrast therapy highly effective for reducing fatigue, improving post-exercise recovery, and minimizing inflammation.
Plunge and Plunge +
In addition to the Contrast8, Wind River also offers the Plunge and Plunge+. These two smaller, single vessel units feature two seats and a temperature range of 40 degrees to 104 degrees allowing a bather two use it as a cold plunge or a hot tub. The Plunge offer no jetting while the Plunge+ offers 7 hydrotherapy jets.
Wind River Spas’ Contrast8 and Plunge models are an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their recovery routine with the proven benefits of contrast therapy. By combining advanced features, local craftsmanship, and the ability to withstand Colorado’s demanding weather, the Contrast8 stands out as a premier option for health-conscious individuals and athletes alike.
