About

Kontra Baths is a contrast therapy studio located on Long Island that offers private suites for hot and cold cycling. The facility serves individuals seeking to support their nervous system function and overall recovery through a structured wellness routine.

The studio's approach, called the Kontra Method, uses alternating exposure to infrared heat and cold plunges to train the nervous system to transition between stress and rest states. Sessions involve spending 15 to 30 minutes in infrared heat chambers ranging from 140 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit to activate the sympathetic nervous system, followed by one to three minutes in a cold plunge chilled to 40 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit to engage the parasympathetic system. This cycle is repeated to help users develop smoother transitions between these two nervous system states. The studio emphasizes a thoughtfully designed private suite experience focused specifically on contrast therapy.
