Question 1

What is Hot-Cold Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Hot-Cold Therapy, aka hot-cold contrast or hot-cold cycling, is a potent practice where you oscillate between short periods of extreme heat, and short periods of extreme cold. At Float House Surry, we offer a full-spectrum infrared sauna (ranging from 65 - 75 degrees C) and a cold plunge (ranging from 3 - 10 degrees C).  Cycle from heat to cold, and repeat. This biohacker's dream is a tool for recovery and mental clarity.

Question 2

How hot is the hot?

Accepted Answer

The temperature of our hot-cold full spectrum infrared sauna gets up to 75 degrees Celsius or 167 degrees Fahrenheit. Approximate 15% of full spectrum output is absorbed by the air to create the 75 C/167 F temperatures while the rest is being directly absorbed by your body. This results in greater benefits liked higher production of heat shock proteins when compared to traditional steam or dry saunas that may run at a higher temperature.

Question 3

How cold is the cold?

Accepted Answer

The temperature of our cold plunge gets down to 3 degrees Celsius or 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrrr!

Question 4

How many people can use it at one time?

Accepted Answer

The hot-cold room is only ever booked for one reservation at a time, but the individual who made the reservation can bring a max. of 1 guest with them for an extra fee of $10.

Question 5

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

We ask our guests to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the session. In your private room, we provide towels, robe, complimentary electrolyte beverage, along with organic body wash, shampoo and conditioner.

Question 6

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Feel free to bring clothing you're comfortable to sweat in, but since you have your own private room, most people prefer to do their sessions without any clothing.

Question 7

Is it clean?

Accepted Answer

Our hot-cold sauna is thoroughly sanitized with special non-toxic cleaning agents before and after each use, also the intense infrared waves kill 99% of all bacteria. The cold plunge water is in compliance with Fraser Health standards.

Question 8

Should I do anything special before or after?

Accepted Answer

Avoid alcohol before and after your session. If you feel ill or have a fever, we recommend to wait to use the therapy until you're feeling better. The infrared heat will cause you to sweat a lot so we highly recommend that you replenish with electrolytes or lots of water.
