Experience the Trifecta at Townley
Soak, sweat, and chill, and experience total overall wellness! Learn how you can experience the trifecta at Townley.
Discover a powerful trio designed to elevate your wellness: the luxurious Hot Spring Spas hot tub, the revitalizing Vigor cold plunge, and the serene warmth of a Tylö sauna.
Individually, each one of them offers remarkable health benefits on its own. Together, they form a synergy using contrast therapy (heat and cold) to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
Stress Relief, Better Sleep, and Soothing Warmth
The soothing embrace of a Hot Spring Spas hot tub eases your stress within minutes. Aches and pains go away, and you enjoy the amazing hydrotherapy massage.
Research shows heat immersion reduces cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. This helps you unwind and restore mental calm. The warm water gently desensitizes the pain receptors across your muscles, joints, and soft tissues, reducing tension and promoting comfort.
The immersive warmth doesn’t just feel good. It increases your blood flow and gently lowers your blood pressure. This response may mirror the effects of exercise, enhancing circulation and heart health.
The psychological payoff? Your mind calms, and your body is primed for sleep. By raising your core temperature and then cooling off post-soak, you naturally optimize your sleep cycle and promote deeper slumber.
Detox, Recovery, and Deep Relaxation
Just beyond the hot tub lies the Tylö sauna, chosen by people seeking clarity, clean skin, and recovery.
Tylö’s traditional, infrared, and hybrid saunas create an enveloping heat that induces detoxification through sweating and unclogs your pores.
As heat stress triggers the production of heat shock proteins, your body enhances repair mechanisms so your muscles and joints recover faster.
Add to that the cardiovascular boost from frequent sauna use, such as lowered blood pressure, improved arterial function, and potential neurovascular protection, and you’ve got a wellness powerhouse
The sessions are also deeply relaxing: endorphins released during warming help reduce stress and anxiety, fostering mental calm.
Wake-Up Call for Body and Brain
On the other hand (and a cold one!), contrast therapy comes with the cold plunge.
Finish off your sauna bath or hot tub soak with the invigorating shock of the Vigor cold plunge. A quick immersion into cold water stimulates vasoconstriction, helps with inflammation, speeds up recovery, and boosts immune function.
Athletes especially value this for rapid muscle repair and reduced soreness.
The mental perks are just as profound. Cold immersion triggers a sharp rise in norepinephrine and dopamine, heightening alertness, enhancing mood, and providing a mental boost for hours. In essence, it reminds your nervous system how to handle stress, which is an exercise in resilience.
The Contrast Therapy Advantage: Heat to Cold and Back Again
When you combine a hot tub → sauna → cold plunge cycle, or a series of hot and cold repeats, the contrast effect is extraordinary. You train your vascular system through dilation and constriction, accelerating circulation, recovery, and detoxification.
This stimulates your immune system.
- Heat supports white blood cell deployment.
- Cold shocks the system, enhancing resilience against illness.
You also elevate your mood and mental wellness.
- The rush of endorphins and neurotransmitters fosters calm, clarity, and positivity. Studies indicate repeated cycles of hot and cold lower cortisol, lift mood, boost focus, and cultivate mindfulness.
Finally, contrast therapy naturally regulates your sleep cycle. Heat followed by cooling accelerates the natural decline in core temperature before bed, leading to deeper, more restful sleep.

If you’re interested in the trifecta, here’s a seamless routine to practice:
-
