 Infrared therapy, including hand held and full-body infrared treatment, used for years in our practice has gained popularity for its known and potential health benefits across many body systems.

  2. Muscle Recovery: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use infrared therapy to speed up muscle recovery after intense workouts. The increased blood circulation can aid in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscles, helping them recover more quickly.
