Infrared Therapy: Deep Warmth, Easier Movement, Better Sleep

You don’t need to be an athlete to feel the difference from Infrared Therapy. In 25–40 calm minutes, gentle infrared light warms your body from the inside out (not just the air around you), helping tight muscles let go, circulation improve, and your nervous system settle. The result: looser movement, lower stress, and better sleep

The simple version

Infrared beds deliver comfortable, penetrating warmth that helps your body unwind and restore. Most people notice looser hips/backs, a calmer head, and sleep that comes easier—especially if they book in the evening. Sessions are quiet, low-effort, and easy to fit between work, school runs, or training.

How a session works (start to finish)

1. 2-minute check-in
   Tell us how you’re feeling (tight spots, stress, sleep). If Infrared fits best today, we’ll set you up.
2. Get comfortable (25–40 min)
   Lie back on the Infrared bed. We set temperature and time for comfort. You can listen to music, meditate, or just switch off.
3. Finish & next steps
   Cool down, hydrate, and we’ll suggest when to return based on your week (training, work, sleep goals).

Who it’s for

• Desk workers with tight backs/hips and screen stress
• Parents & busy professionals needing a simple after-work reset
• Over-40s seeking joint-friendly relief and better sleep
• Regular gym-goers who want a relaxing recovery day tool
• Anyone who feels wound tight and wants an easy calm-down

What it actually feels like

• Deep, even warmth—not harsh heat
• Muscles “let go”; breathing naturally slows
• Light sweat that feels cleansing, not exhausting
• Afterwards: looser, calmer, pleasantly sleepy

How often should you do it?

Keep it sustainable:

• Weeks 1–2: 1–2 sessions/week (evenings popular)
• Weeks 3–4: maintain 1/week, add a second on stressful weeks
• Weeks 5–8: settle into every 1–2 weeks as your reliable reset

Consistency beats intensity. Pair with sleep routine, steps, water, and sensible training.

Safety & sensible use

• General wellness only—not medical treatment.
• Hydrate before/after; skip alcohol beforehand.
• If you’re pregnant, heat-sensitive, have cardiovascular concerns or implanted devices, speak to your GP first and inform our team.
• Come comfortably fed (not stuffed); remove metal accessories. We handle temps and timing.

FAQs
