How often you use recovery therapies depends on your goals, activity level, and how your body responds. There is no single answer, but there are general guidelines that work well for most clients.
For contrast therapy, most active clients benefit from one to three sessions per week. Infrared sauna can be used two to four times per week safely. Cold plunge sessions are typically two to four times per week for short durations. Red light therapy and compression can be used more frequently as low-impact modalities.
Consistency matters more than intensity. Start with one to two sessions per week and adjust based on how you feel. Your provider or wellness team can help you build a sustainable recovery schedule.
