Infrared Sauna
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new single/two-person Infrared Sauna!
You can now enjoy gentle, soothing, therapeutic heat to promote relaxation before your massage or chiropractic treatment.
An infrared sauna uses light to raise your internal body temperature, allowing you to feel warm without the high heat and steam of a traditional sauna. This allows you to relax fully for your session, enjoying the warmth while experiencing the therapeutic benefits of an infrared sauna.
Many people choose infrared saunas because they reduce environmental toxins that cause stress within the body. Infrared saunas have also been shown to optimize the production of natural antidepressants, aid in muscle recovery and relaxation, and deliver oxygen to our tissues which promotes healing.
Here is a list of more benefits you may enjoy using our new infrared sauna!
