Contrast Showers

The Contrast Shower (or hydrotherapy) app lets you:
• Start the timer and let the app automatically switch between hot and cold cycles
• Custom step that includes time to wash your body before starting the contrast routine.
• Hear a buzzer when its time to switch the temperature between cycles.
• Configure settings so you can edit the length and amount of cycles for your routine.

Contrast Showers are incredibly beneficial in multiple ways:
• Increases Energy and Alertness - Exposure to cold showers can increase the synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain and levels of beta endorphins in the blood by activating the sympathetic nervous system.
• Enhances Mood and Mental Fortitude - Cold receptors in the skin send overwhelming electrical impulses to the brain from peripheral nerve endings resulting for some in an anti-depressive effect.
• Faster Workout Recovery - The temperature contrast creates a pump effect that flushes lactic acid in your body which builds up during exercise.
• Improves Circulation and stimulates thermogenesis - The hot water dilates blood vessels and increases circulation, while cold water constricts blood vessels decreasing blood flow.
