A method for providing thermal contrast therapy to a vehicle occupant. The method comprises first operating a heating device to apply a first temperature for a first period of time and second operating the heating device and a cooling device in an alternating manner for a plurality of time intervals. The thermal contrast therapy achieves about a 10° C. to 20° C. change in a temperature of a surface of a seat and/or about a 3° C. to 6° C. change in a skin temperature of the vehicle occupant.
