Has anyone with PMR supplemented their treatment with a contrast therapy?
Sauna (heat phase):
Vasodilation (heat)→↑blood flow→↑tissue perfusion
Cold shower (cold phase):
Vasoconstriction (cold)→↓ peripheral flow→ Vasoconstriction
I found the article here. https://sunraysaunas.com/contrast-therapy-101-how-to-pair-your-sauna-with-a-cold-shower-for-instant-recovery

@rickman The 'saunas' sold by the company you referenced will not produce the results you mentioned. The benches are too low (below the heat) so core body temp doesn't increase enough to cause the physiological results. You need a real sauna to get the results.
