Recovery Lab Maribyrnong — Experience
Private
Contrast
Experience
A guided balance of heat and cold, designed to restore and reset. Exclusive access to your own private contrast suite — infrared sauna, cold plunge, and private shower — all to yourself.
New to contrast therapy? Start with our Introductory Experience — a relaxed, private session designed to help you explore heat and cold at your own pace. Or gift it to someone who deserves a reset.
The Experience
The Private Contrast Experience is a 60-minute, fully private session combining infrared sauna and cold plunge in a dedicated contrast suite. Move between heat and cold in a calm, controlled environment — solo or shared with up to four people.
Why Contrast Therapy
What It May Support
Blood Flow & Circulation
Alternating heat and cold causes blood vessels to dilate and constrict, supporting circulation and general cardiovascular wellbeing.
Muscle Tension & Soreness
The contrast cycle may help manage inflammation and post-exercise soreness — popular among athletes and active people for this reason.
Relaxation & Balance
Contrast therapy encourages nervous system regulation, helping the body shift out of stress and into a more relaxed, recovered state.
Clarity & Energy
Many people report improved mental clarity, focus, and energy levels following contrast sessions — particularly after cold exposure.
Physical & Mental Reset
More than physical recovery, the experience promotes a genuine sense of reset — leaving you calmer, clearer, and more grounded.
Balance Over Extremes
Our protocol focuses on comfort and sustainability rather than intensity. Your body responds naturally to temperature changes at a pace that suits you.

Safety
Before You Begin
- Begin gently — especially if you're new to contrast therapy. There's no benefit to pushing through discomfort.
- Adjust heat and cold exposure times to suit your comfort level. The protocol is a guide, not a rule.
- Exit the sauna or cold plunge immediately if you feel light-headed, unwell, or uncomfortable.
- Stay well hydrated before, during, and after your session.
- Allow your body to warm and cool naturally between transitions.
If you have cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure concerns, circulatory issues, or are pregnant, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before participating. Our team is always available to assist or guide your session.
