Recover intelligently.

Kontrast is a small, reusable sensor that sits under any ice bag or heat pack at an injury site, or on your skin during a sauna or cold plunge.

It learns how your body responds to hot and cold recovery, using those patterns to help you optimize performance and return from injury.

Every body is unique.
Your recovery
should be too.

Every athlete responds differently to hot and cold. Fixed temperatures and timers are general guidelines; they don’t account for your body, the area you’re treating or your starting condition. Kontrast uses your response to optimize recovery.

Your response zone is unique.

Every point on your thermal response curve is unique to the athlete. A 300 lb lineman can have a very different icing curve than a 100 lb gymnast. A fixed timer doesn’t account for those differences. Kontrast measures your response, and AI turns it into guidance on when to keep icing, when to stop and how you rewarm.

Recovery for the area
that needs it.

Your ice bag. Your heat pack.
Guidance built around you.

Place the reusable sensor pad beneath any ice bag or heat pack. Kontrast learns how the area you’re treating cools and rewarms.

Kontrast AI guidance combines your actual response with recovery research to help you follow your plan, or your treating practitioner’s, with session guidance and reminders throughout the day.
