Where to start on a budget
You do not need a full sauna and chilled plunge to start a recovery routine. Everything here is under $500, so you can try heat, cold or light at home before committing to a larger setup.
Cold
Portable ice baths and inflatable tubs from RevivPro, RevX and TheraTub fold away and use cold water and ice. Read are cold plunge tubs worth it?
Heat
Portable steam saunas from RevivPro set up in minutes and plug into a standard outlet. See are portable steam saunas worth it?
Light
Red light pads, wraps, masks and caps from NovaaLab, iReliev, Lumara, Kineon and RevivPro target one area at a time. Compare formats in panel vs blanket vs mask.
Build a simple routine
- Pick one modality you will use several times a week.
- Add the second (heat with cold) once the habit sticks. See the contrast therapy guide.
- Use our recovery routine builder to plan sessions.
