Infrared Sauna


What is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna is a unit which uses infrared heaters to emit infrared spectrums experienced as heat which is absorbed by the surface of the skin. As  your body absorbs the infrared heat, this will increase your core body temperature inducing a deep and relaxing sweat. 
What are the health benefits?
  • ​Muscle pain relief
  • Ease joint pain and stiffness
  • Immune system boost
  • Detoxification
  • Weight loss and increase metabolism
  • Improves appearance of cellulite
  • Stress and fatigue reduction
  • Improves skin

What to expect
Upon checking in at our front desk, you will be directed back to the infrared sauna. A bath towel, hand towel, and wash rag will be provided. Sessions are scheduled for 45 minutes to allow a few minutes to undress and get settled. We recommend spending 20-30 minutes in the sauna for maximum benefit.

What to wear
We recommend wearing undergarments or a swimwear in the sauna unit. However, you may choose to wear loose fitting clothing such as shorts and a loose top.

Other tips
Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of liquids prior to and after your session.  Limit food intake to at least an hour before your sauna session. Your body will be able to detox more effectively because it will not be using that energy for digestion. You may choose to listen to music, read a book, or just enjoy the quiet and relax.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Dr. Tracy Hernandez and staff at Innovative Therapy & Wellness are the most talented and professional physical therapy group. Dealing with chronic pain for nearly 10 years, I had yet to receive the proper diagnosis and care until I arrived at Innovative. I am now able to use my arm, I'm walking and feel overall significantly less pain.

Dr. Hernandez is the most knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring physical therapist and her staff is a reflection of that too. They use the multiple techniques for treatment, and go above and beyond in their care.

I am so fortunate to be treated by the talented staff at Innovative Therapy.
