WHAT IS INFRARED THERAPY?
Infrared therapy is a type of treatment that uses infrared light to promote healing in the body. Infrared light is not a form of the visible light spectrum, but we feel it as heat because the energy emitted from infrared light stimulates the water in our bodies to generate energy, which is what you feel as warmth. While infrared does not emit visible light, it is a part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
Infrared light penetrates to the inner layers of the skin at about 2 to 7 centimetres deep. Hence, it reaches the muscles, nerves, bones and into fat cells, breaking down the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This process is called lipolysis, and it allows your body to rid itself of toxins stored in fat cells.
Infrared therapy also works by raising your core temperature. This rise in core temperature in turn causes your heart rate to increase and your blood vessels to dilate. This increase in blood flow and improved circulation allows for greater oxygen and nutrient delivery, improved blood pressure, and stimulates the body's natural defences.
There are many health benefits to using infrared therapy, including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, lower blood pressure, increased metabolism, weight loss, and improved detoxification. It can also help to relieve pain, improve sleep, muscle pain, joint stiffness, arthritis and reduce stress levels.
Infrared therapy is often used in conjunction with other forms of treatment such as massage and red-light therapy, to maximise its effectiveness.
Although infrared therapy promotes many health benefits a risk and consent form is to done prior to your first treatment.
