Proper sauna use is important; just like we warm up and cool down our bodies when we exercise, there are some basic steps to follow to ensure you gain maximum benefits of using a sauna.
Before Sauna Use:
Drink a minimum of 236 mls. of water to prepare your body for an increase in core body temperature.
Lay down towels on the bench to absorb sweat. It’s also nice to have an extra around to wipe your face during sessions.
During Sauna Use:
Watch your time: Make sure to adjust your session length in accordance to your body’s needs. If you are just beginning with regular sauna use, it is important to start slow and get your body accustomed to infrared therapy. We recommend beginning with 10-15 minute sessions at 37°C every other day. Gradually increase toward 40 minute daily sessions in the optimal temperature range. Always listen to your body and adjust based on what it’s telling you.
Stick with it for long-term benefits: Just as with exercise or eating healthy, sauna use takes time and consistency to see results. You may not even sweat the first few times you use your sauna, but know that sweating (and the detox that comes with it) will increase over time, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and healthy.
After Sauna Use:
Rehydrate with at least 710 mls. of water or electrolyte drink.
Dry off and cool down naturally, or with a refreshing shower

Most people enjoy a 30-45 minute session, 2-3 times a week, but it is safe to use every day and at whatever heat suits you best. Research shows that regular use over time brings best results.

While red light therapy is safe for most people, certain individuals may need to exercise caution or avoid its use altogether. For example, pregnant women, people with epilepsy, individuals taking photosensitizing medications, or those with certain skin conditions may need to consult with a healthcare professional before using a RED Light Therapy Panel.

Loosing fitting clothes or sports wear is the best option. If you are also using the ice bath then swimwear is preferable. Remember to bring your towel.

Contrast therapy is the application of alternating heat and cold (often a decrease of 30 C on the skin) to achieve therapeutic goals.
Contrast therapy offers benefits that extend across physical recovery, mental wellbeing, and performance optimisation:
Muscle recovery and soreness relief: Helps reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and supports quicker recovery after strenuous exercise.
Inflammation management: Cold exposure helps limit swelling, while heat aids blood circulation and healing.
Improved circulation: Alternating temperatures stimulate vascular activity, supporting waste removal and oxygen delivery.
Mental health support: Users often report reductions in stress, heightened relaxation, and mood improvements due to endorphin release.
Performance enhancement: Athletes find contrast therapy useful for maintaining consistent recovery and training schedules.
