FIR (FAR Infrared) Sauna
Benefits of the FAR Infrared Sauna
The advantages of massage are obvious and immediately felt: muscles let go, tension eases, and you leave feeling different than when you walked in. Those effects go further when massage is paired with heat.
Twenty minutes in the sauna before your session means your muscles are already warm and giving by the time my hands start working. Book the two together and see the difference for yourself.
A Different Kind of Heat
A FAR infrared sauna heats you differently than a traditional one. Instead of warming the air around you, it uses infrared light to warm you directly, which is why it works at a lower temperature and feels easier to sit in than a steam room.
Infrared is the same warmth you feel standing in the sun on a cool day, or sitting near a fire. It’s deep and dry rather than heavy and humid. Most people find they can stay in comfortably for the full twenty minutes, even if steam rooms have never agreed with them.
Why I Use It Before a Massage
Heat makes my job easier and your massage better. When you come in tight, and most people do, I spend the first stretch of the session just getting muscles to let go before I can do the deeper work. Twenty minutes of dry heat does that part first.
You’ll come out warm, loose, and already halfway relaxed. It’s the difference between starting a massage and finishing one.
