Sauna & Cold Plunge

By working at a cellular level, Infrared Saunas produce the greatest levels of detoxification and stimulates your metabolism to aid in weight-loss.The heat from infrared also warms muscle and tendon tissue inducing relaxation and lengthening of fibers. This assists with muscle and joint pain associated with exercise, stress or other inflammation.  By pairing an infrared therapy with bodywork, you will receive a more effective treatment and see results that last longer than either alone. Infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

Chromotherapy

Our Infared Sauna also offers the benefits of Chromotherapy (colored light therapy).  Light Therapy has been reported to reduce swelling, relieve pain, decrease inflammation, accelerate open wound healing and greatly reduce overall recovery after medical/surgical procedures. Patients have demonstrated increased range of motion, decreased muscle tension and spasm, and improved circulation.

Rejuvenating LED light therapy can be used for pain management such as joint and back pain, sore or torn muscles, sprains, arthritis, post-surgical scars, burns, wounds and more. When used with infrared technology, light therapy (phototherapy) is one of the most effective and noninvasive ways to repair the body.

Light therapy is also used to relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD effects individuals when the lack of sunlight results in seasonal depression. Phototherapy helps with SAD by resetting the internal biological clock (Circadian rhythms), helping individuals sleep better and regulate their mood. Even companies, such as GE and Philips, have created phototherapeutic product to improve and regulate mood.

Cosmetic Benefits

Light therapy is also a growing treatment for anti-aging. Many individuals have seen a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and age spots.

Light therapy is “effective at improving the appearance of the face, neck and chest by reducing the signs of aging, wrinkles and age spots”, says Web M.D. Combined with infrared therapy, LED phototherapy can be a great way to revitalize skin. Light therapy energizes skin cells, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, giving skin back it’s youthful look.

We have created a newly renovated private Infrared Suite that you may book exclusively for your use. The suite includes a shower to rinse off before/after your sauna session. Rinsing off in the shower prior to entering the sauna will cause you to sweat faster upon getting in the sauna. We start the infrared sauna at ~100 degrees and it will slowly rise to ~130 degrees over the course of your session.

You can wear whatever you like from fully clothed to nothing at all.  Please keep in mind you are likely to sweat during your sauna so any clothing you wear into the sauna may get damp. We recommend using one of the wraps or robes we provide.  We also have extra robes if you will be transitioning to a massage treatment room afterwards.
