What Is an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat the body directly rather than heating the air around you. This allows for a deeper, more therapeutic heat at a lower temperature, making sessions more comfortable and accessible for many people.
Key Benefits of Infrared Sauna in Winter
1. Eases Muscle & Joint Stiffness
Cold weather can tighten muscles and aggravate joint discomfort. Infrared heat helps increase blood flow and relax tissues, making it particularly helpful for back pain, arthritis, post-exercise recovery and general stiffness.
2. Supports Circulation & Warmth
Infrared sauna sessions gently raise core body temperature and improve circulation - ideal for anyone who struggles to stay warm during winter.
3. Immune System Support
Regular sauna use has been linked to improved immune function, helping your body stay resilient during cold and flu season.
4. Supports Natural Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s natural detoxification pathways. Infrared sauna promotes a deep, cleansing sweat that supports liver and lymphatic function - particularly valuable when we’re less active in winter.
5. Boosts Mood & Energy
Shorter days and less sunlight can impact mood. Infrared sauna sessions promote relaxation, endorphin release and nervous system balance, helping ease stress and seasonal low mood.
6. Encourages Rest & Better Sleep
Many clients report improved sleep after sauna sessions, as the body shifts into a calmer parasympathetic state.
Making Infrared Sauna Part of Your Winter Routine
Even one session per week can make a noticeable difference. Many people enjoy combining infrared sauna with massage, chiropractic care or shiatsu for a more holistic approach to winter wellbeing. We offer a discounted sauna rate when booking any other therapy at the clinic.
If you’re feeling stiff, run-down, stressed or simply craving warmth and relaxation, infrared sauna can be a deeply supportive addition to your self-care this season.
