Infrared Sauna
Infrared Sauna therapy is a type of heat therapy using light to heat your body while the air around you stays unchanged, where traditional saunas use heating elements to raise the temperature of the air inside.
The Health benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
Detoxification
Release of toxins and heavy metals stored in fat tissue, the sauna’s heat therapy heats the body at the cellular level to rid the body of these toxins and reduce inflammation.
Immunity
Full spectrum light heat therapy heats the body’s core temperature by 3 degrees increasing the bodies immune system to fight against harmful bacteria by stimulating the white blood cells and antibodies to attack.
Weight Loss
Infrared sauna therapy increases cardiovascular output similar to a mild cardio session workout. The body can burn up to 600 calories an hour and therefore reduce weight if used on a regular basis.
Anti Aging
Infrared light therapy stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, important tissues for reducing fine lines and wrinkles while increasing the skins smoothness and hydration giving the appearance of younger looking skin.
Increased blood flow due to the heat nourishes the skin from the inside out also contributing to the appearance of healthier, younger looking skin.
Relaxation
Infrared sauna therapy can be very relaxing to the central nervous system through the warm sensations allowing muscle tension to decrease, the heart rate to slow down and the mind scape to become quieter.
Heart Health
Studies have shown the reduction of blood pressure temporarily by infrared sauna therapy of 30 minute sessions 3 times a week. The dilution of blood vessels and their reduced volume in the inner lining contribute to increased circulation and healthier blood pressure.
Pain Relief
Infrared light therapy targets inflammatory tissues in the body which helps decrease inflammation by bringing more oxygenated blood reducing pain and stimulating the tissue healing process.
Sauna Sessions
Book a sauna session before or after any treatment to help alleviate delayed onset muscle soreness sometimes experienced after manual therapies and to help regulate the nervous system after soft or hard tissue adjustments.
Book a sauna session just on its own to experience the many benefits to your health.
