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.
R:HAUS helps you take a more proactive approach. Recover before your body forces you to stop.
