Infared Saunas
Sport & Conditioning

Far-infrared is perfect as a “heat therapy room” for athletes looking for a pre-workout warmup to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It’s also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing wind-down at the end of a stress-filled day. Far-infrared heat is also ideal for soothing sore muscles and joints after a workout.

 

A Helo Far-Infrared sauna provides soothing heat, directly radiated to the body, with almost no time waiting for preheating. The far-infrared radiant heat induces a deep sweat—for cleansing and detoxifying the body and for burning calories. Using the latest Japanese far-infrared technology, Helo’s CarbonFlex™ heating panels have the largest surface area of any IR sauna heating system—providing the softest heat. Helo’s CarbonFlex™ performs better than other IR systems, with a near-perfect wavelength of 8.4 to 9.4 microns (well within the “Vital Range” of 7 to 14 microns). This optimal wavelength provides for deeper penetration of far-infrared heat—which, in turn, can enhance detoxification, cardiovascular conditioning and relief from muscle and joint aches and pains.

Under high heat, the body releases endorphins — the body’s naturally produced pain relieving chemical. Endorphins can have a mild and enjoyable tranquilizing effect and the ability to quell the pain of arthritis (and muscle soreness from an intense physical workout).

 

 

Body temperature rises from the heat of the sauna, causing blood vessels to dilate and circulation to increase. The increased blood flow accelerates the body’s natural healing process—soothing aches and pains and speeding up of the healing of cuts and bruises.

 

Following sporting activity, use the heat of a sauna for muscle relaxation by helping to reduce muscle tension and eliminate lactic acid and other toxins.
