Infrared Sauna Therapy provides a gentle, relaxing and enjoyable way to support these natural processes by using radiant infrared heat to warm the body directly, rather than simply heating the surrounding air.
At Optimal Health Clinic, we believe lasting health begins by supporting the body’s natural ability to recover, repair and maintain balance.
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared therapy operates at a more comfortable temperature, allowing many people to enjoy the benefits of heat without the intense conditions associated with conventional saunas.
For many people, an infrared sauna session becomes more than simply a treatment. It becomes an opportunity to pause, switch off from the demands of everyday life and dedicate time to their own health and wellbeing.
Infrared Sauna Therapy uses invisible infrared light to gently warm the body directly.
This allows the warmth to penetrate beneath the surface of the skin, gently heating muscles and soft tissues while maintaining a more comfortable environment than a traditional sauna.
The gentle infrared warmth may support circulation, muscular relaxation, recovery and overall wellbeing, while creating a calm and restorative experience for both body and mind.
Regular infrared sauna use may support:
Whether you are looking to unwind after a busy week, support recovery following exercise or simply enjoy dedicated time to focus on your wellbeing, Infrared Sauna Therapy provides a relaxing experience that supports both body and mind.
Unlike traditional saunas, which warm the surrounding air to very high temperatures, infrared saunas use invisible infrared light to gently warm the body directly.
As your body gradually warms, your blood vessels gently dilate, encouraging healthy circulation and supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
Your heart rate naturally increases in a similar way to light physical activity, while muscles begin to relax as circulation improves, often helping to reduce feelings of tension and stiffness.
As your core temperature rises, your body also begins to sweat as part of its natural cooling process. Sweating plays an important role in temperature regulation and forms one of the body’s natural methods of eliminating waste products.
Many people also notice a profound sense of calm during treatment, as the gentle warmth encourages the nervous system to move away from a heightened stress response towards a more relaxed and restorative state.
At Optimal Health Clinic, every sauna session is delivered within a calm, welcoming and professional environment where your comfort is our priority.
To make your visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible, we provide luxury changing and shower facilities, soft towels, luxury dressing gowns, eco friendly shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and a hair dryer.
Everything you need is provided, allowing you to simply arrive, relax and enjoy your experience.
We recommend showering before entering the sauna, as clean skin allows you to enjoy the experience more comfortably and prepares your body for treatment.
Following your session, you have time to shower, refresh and leave feeling relaxed, revitalised and ready to continue your day.
For your comfort, we recommend bringing a pair of sliders or flip flops to wear around the changing and shower facilities.
If you would like to enjoy the experience with someone else, you are welcome to bring a friend or family member to share the sauna with you for an additional £15.
This makes Infrared Sauna Therapy a wonderful opportunity to relax together while supporting your health and wellbeing.
Infrared light is a naturally occurring part of the sun’s spectrum and is experienced every day as gentle radiant warmth.
Unlike ultraviolet light, infrared light does not cause sunburn. Instead, it delivers comfortable radiant heat that penetrates beneath the surface of the skin, allowing many people to enjoy the benefits of therapeutic warmth at a lower and more comfortable temperature than a traditional sauna.
This combination of gentle heat, relaxation and comfort is one of the reasons infrared saunas have become increasingly popular as part of a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing routine.
