Alternating warm and cool water therapy, used within Longevity and Executive programmes. The deliberate shift between temperatures is a classical hydrotherapy technique, most often used to close a thermal circuit with a final activating step.
It is brief by design — guests move through several rounds of contrast within a short session, guided by their therapist.
A warm water phase begins the sequence, easing you into the therapy.
A brief, cooler phase follows, guided by your therapist throughout.
Several rounds of warm-to-cool alternation complete the therapy.
A brief settling period allows the body to adjust before you continue your day.

Brief but genuinely activating — a proper way to close a recovery circuit.EKAM Guest, Executive Performance
Contrast Vitality Shower appears, in some form, across most EKAM programmes.
Temperature range and number of rounds are adjusted to your comfort, guided by your therapist throughout.
Reserve your stay and our team will build Contrast Vitality Shower into your personalised programme.
It's a hydrotherapy practice alternating between warm and cool water to help activate circulation and awaken the senses, typically used after a heat-based therapy.
Sessions are brief, typically 10–15 minutes.
The transition can feel invigorating rather than harsh — temperature and timing are guided to keep the experience comfortable while still activating.
It's most often used right after sauna or steam sessions, as a finishing step to a heat-based therapy sequence.
Guests with certain cardiovascular conditions, those who are pregnant, or anyone with cold sensitivity should consult their physician before trying this therapy.
The alternating temperatures are associated with circulation activation, which is part of why it's often paired with recovery-focused programmes.
Yes, though we recommend easing in gradually if you're new to contrast hydrotherapy — our team can guide your first experience.
It's designed to complement heat therapies, so we generally recommend pairing it rather than using it in isolation.
Come away lighter. Return feeling more like yourself.
