Taking part in infrared therapy is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout – whenever you need it! Can you say that about anything else? During infrared therapy session your muscles are heated with infrared rays and produce an increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. In fact, blood flow during infrared therapy use has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.¹
The elevation in body temperature during an infrared therapy session also produces an increase in blood flow that mirrors the benefits of a passive cardiovascular workout. Regular infrared therapy sessions – especially in the mid-infrared range – has been shown to significantly stimulate blood flow, even after your health sauna session is completed. A cardio workout has never been so relaxing! Another benefit of improved circulation from infrared therapy sessions is quick muscle recovery – after your regular workouts. The increased peripheral circulation from our infrared heat reduces inflammation, decreases pain and speeds healing, all important steps in helping the body recover from strenuous activity.
The Experts Love Infrared Therapy to Improve Circulation
“…the cardiovascular cleansing properties of infrared therapy allow the circulatory system to have increased circulation and oxygenation while lowering blood pressure.”
-Dr. Rachel West
“If you analyze the peer reviewed data, full spectrum infrared therapy would be a multibillion drug if it came in a pill. The ability to heal endothelium and improve symptoms and prognosis for congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease is remarkable. Infrared therapy has clinically shown to lower blood pressure and reduce belly fat, both contributing factors to a healthy heart.” Dr. Joel Kahn, America’s healthy heart doctor.
How to Improve Circulation
One sure way to improve circulation during your infrared therapy session is to sit back and relax! Just by taking an infrared therapy session, you are already improving circulation. Want to help your body even more? Use these helpful tips to naturally increasing blood circulation during your session.
1. Stretch during the session.
During your infrared therapy session, perform stretches or a palates routine in order to make the most of your increased blood circulation. According to one study, this could give you better flexibility, particularly in the hips, hamstrings and lower back.
2. Having an Infrared Therapy Session after Working Out
Not only will fatigued muscles and a tired body appreciate the relaxation of an infrared therapy session after a workout, but the improved blood circulation you experience in session will help ease the aches and pains, loosen the tight spots and increase the rate at which your muscles heal.
3. Take Advantage of the Ergonomic Bench
There is a chiropractic-consulting bench design that reduces stress on the body and allows for natural improved blood circulation while in session. So when you are not working out, just sit back and let the chair do the work. The signature benches are also 10 percent deeper than the standard for the ultimate comfort and are removable to create room for stretching.
