Infrared Sauna
Here are a few of the many benefits:
- Detoxification: One of the key benefits of an infrared sauna is its ability to promote detoxification. As you sweat in the sauna, your body eliminates toxins, heavy metals, and impurities through your skin. Infrared saunas can help enhance this process by penetrating deeper into the tissues and promoting a more intense sweat, compared to traditional saunas.
- Improved Circulation: The infrared heat generated in the sauna helps to increase blood flow and improve circulation throughout the body. This can have several positive effects, such as delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs, promoting faster healing, and reducing inflammation. Improved circulation can also help with cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
- Relaxation and Stress Relief: Infrared saunas are known for their ability to induce relaxation and reduce stress. The gentle heat from the infrared waves helps to relax the muscles, relieve tension, and promote a sense of calm. Sauna sessions can also stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural feel-good hormones that can help uplift your mood and promote a sense of well-being.
- Pain Relief: The deep heat generated by infrared saunas can help alleviate pain and provide relief from conditions such as muscle aches, joint stiffness, and arthritis. The heat penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood flow and promoting the relaxation of muscles. This can help reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and provide temporary relief from pain.
- Skin Health: Regular use of an infrared sauna can benefit your skin in multiple ways. The increased circulation and sweat production can help cleanse the pores and promote a healthy complexion. The improved blood flow delivers more nutrients and oxygen to the skin, helping to promote a youthful and glowing appearance. Additionally, some people report that infrared sauna sessions can help reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

InBody
The InBody is a comprehensive total body composition analysis we use for these reasons:
- Tracking Progress: If you're on a fitness or weight loss journey, an InBody scan can help you track your progress accurately. By measuring your body composition, you can see changes in your muscle mass, fat mass, and overall body fat percentage over time. This information can be more meaningful than simply relying on a scale or measuring your weight alone.
- Setting Goals: The detailed data provided by an InBody scan can help you set realistic and specific goals. You can identify areas that may need improvement, such as increasing muscle mass or reducing body fat percentage, and create a targeted plan to achieve those goals. This personalized information can be highly motivating and help you stay on track with your fitness or wellness objectives.
- Assessing Health Risks: An InBody scan can provide insights into your overall health and identify potential health risks. Excessive body fat, particularly around the abdominal area, is associated with an increased risk of various health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. By understanding your body composition, you can make more informed decisions about your lifestyle and take proactive steps to mitigate potential risks.
- Customizing Exercise and Nutrition Plans: With an InBody scan, you can gain a better understanding of your muscle mass and fat distribution. This information can help you tailor your exercise and nutrition plans to suit your specific needs. For example, if you have low muscle mass, you may focus on strength training exercises to build muscle. Conversely, if you have excess body fat, you can adjust your caloric intake and prioritize fat loss strategies.
- Overall Wellness Assessment: Beyond weight and body fat, an InBody scan can provide insights into other important health markers, such as visceral fat levels, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and water balance. These measurements can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of your overall wellness, helping you make informed decisions about your lifestyle, exercise routines, and nutrition choices.
