Brilliant for bodywork preparation

The sauna process heats your core body temperature slowly, thus increasing blood flow throughout the body at a steady rate.  This activates your nervous system to be in a relaxation (parasympathic) mode, which means your body is ready for deep tissue massage, remedial massage and myofacial release with much more ease.

Effective for recovery after workout and detoxification

The sweating process means you are effectively releasing by-products that are not needed in the body.  Lactic acids and other toxins including trace metals that cause soreness and stiffness after a workout are then fast tracked out of your system, thus recovery time is quickened.

Productive for pain relief

As you enter a deep sweat process from being in the sauna, inflammation is neutralised in the body. As well this, pain fibres that speak to the brain are blocked by the fibres receiving heat signals in the body (they travel to the brain quicker), thus stopping the brain centre from receiving the messages of pain in the first place. Once the brain gets a break from these pain messages, your body is able to properly repair itself as it’s not getting the feedback signal to protect the area.
