Contraspa, designed by Richard Gowland and the Special Projects Division team at SpaFlo, the luxury spa, pool, and hot tub specialist, is the UK's first hot and cold spa, helping to aid contrast therapy, the movement between hot and cold water.

The benefits of contrast water therapy with ContraSpa

Numerous studies have shown that contrast water therapy - process of moving from hot water to cold water -  aids wellbeing. Indeed, regular use of contrast water therapy can support the immune system, aid muscle recovery, reduce fatigue, reduce lactic acid build-up

A first of its kind on the market, the ContraSpa luxury spa design is based on the company's logo and ethos, with a unique Ying / Yang separating the water whilst allowing easy access through cleverly integrated steps. The spa has cold water as low as 5 degrees and hot water up to 40 degrees Celsius. The spa is made of UK sourced sustainable commercial grade steel, and clever lighting highlights the hot and cold areas, ensuring it looks beautiful. Controls are wifi and touchscreen enabled. ContraSpa can be fully personalised to individual specifications. 

Olympian Colin Jackson joining the SpaFlo team as an ambassador for the launch of ContraSpa : "I used cold water therapy throughout my years as a professional athlete and now working with the next generation of elite athletes. It is exciting to be working with the team pioneering the at home cold & hot water therapy spa. The benefits of cold water and hot water therapy have been documented for many years, and it is exciting that SpaFlo has launched this UK first to help people harness the power of contrast water therapy."
