Guided contrast therapy in Hull for recovery, wellbeing and performance 

At R:HAUS, your recovery session is built around three key recovery methods: 
 
Ice bath 
Infrared sauna 
Red light therapy 
 
Each one can offer its own benefits. Together, they create a structured recovery experience designed to help your body and mind reset. 
 
This is guided recovery in a calm, premium studio environment. 
 
You do not have to work it out alone. You will be supported through the session so you can feel more confident, more relaxed and more in control. 

What is contrast therapy? 

Contrast therapy uses alternating heat and cold exposure. 
 
At RecoveryHaus, this means moving between the warmth of the sauna and the cold of the ice bath as part of a guided session. Many people use contrast therapy to support recovery after exercise, reduce feelings of tiredness and create time to mentally switch off. 
 
The aim is simple: To help you leave feeling refreshed, re-energised and more recovered. If you train, work hard or live a busy life, your body may be under more stress than you realise. You might feel fine for a while, but over time poor recovery can catch up with you. You may notice: 
 
Heavy legs after training 
Ongoing tightness 
Poor sleep 
Low energy 
Aches that keep coming back 
Feeling mentally drained 
Reduced focus 
More stress in your body 
 
R:HAUS gives you a structured way to pause, recover and reset. 

Ice bath therapy 

Cold water immersion has become popular with people who want to support physical recovery, performance and mental resilience. 
 
During your guided session, the ice bath gives you controlled exposure to cold water in a calm and supported setting. Potential benefits of ice bath therapy may include: 
 
Reduced muscle soreness after exercise 
Improved feelings of recovery 
Increased alertness 
Better mental focus 
Support after intense physical activity 
A stronger sense of mental resilience 
 
If you feel nervous about cold water, you are not alone. That is why the R:HAUS experience is guided. You can build confidence safely and progressively, without feeling rushed. 

Infrared sauna therapy 

The sauna brings heat into your recovery session. Infrared sauna therapy uses heat to help create a calming recovery experience. It gives your body time to warm, relax and release tension. 
 
Potential benefits may include: 
 
Muscle relaxation 
Reduced feelings of stiffness 
Improved circulation 
Stress reduction 
Post-exercise recovery support 
Time to slow down and decompress 
 
The sauna forms a key part of the contrast therapy process. By moving between heat and cold, you can create a powerful recovery routine that helps your body and mind reset. 

Red light therapy 

Red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of light and is often used in recovery, wellbeing and skin health settings. 
 
At R:HAUS, red light therapy is included as part of the structured recovery flow. Potential benefits may include: 
 
Supporting recovery and restoration 
Promoting relaxation 
Supporting skin health and wellbeing 
Complementing your recovery routine 
Giving you quiet time to slow down 
 
For many people, red light therapy is also a chance to pause. No rushing. No pressure. Just time to recover. 

Stretch and mobility space 

Good recovery is not only about heat, cold and light. Your body also needs movement. 
 
The stretch and mobility space gives you room to loosen off, breathe, move gently and prepare your body before or after your recovery session. This can be especially useful if you feel stiff, tight or restricted from training, work or daily life. 
 
Small-group guided sessions 
 
R:HAUS sessions are limited to a maximum of 3 people. This helps create a more focused and personal experience. 
 
You will not feel lost in a crowded space. You will not be left to guess what to do. You will have guidance and structure so you can get more from your session. 
How you may feel after a session 
Everyone responds differently, but many people report feeling: 
 
Fresher 
Calmer 
More relaxed 
Re-energised 
Mentally clearer 
Less physically heavy 
More ready to move or train again 
 
RecoveryHaus is not designed as a quick trend. 
 
It is designed to help you build long-term recovery habits that support your body, your mind and your lifestyle.

Make recovery part of your lifestyle. Book your R:HAUS session 

Recovery works best when it becomes part of your week. If you wait until you are injured, exhausted or burnt out, your body may already be telling you it has had enough.
