Contrast Therapy Immersion Depth Limb Only
Contrast therapy immersion depth limb only keeps water at forearms or calves—less core cold shock while still pumping locally overloaded limbs.
Contrast therapy immersion depth limb only limits water contact to hands-through-elbows or feet-through-knees instead of shoulder-deep plunge—reduces core temperature drop and cardiovascular shock while still pumping forearms or calves. Useful for anxiety-prone users and travel basins.
Maintain three-to-one warm-cool timing per cycle. Full immersion may follow as tolerance builds.
Pregnancy and hypertension filters still apply to any cold phase.
