Recovery Services
Infrared Sauna.
Deep Healing. Real Recovery.
Full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions available in-clinic at R3 Physio — a powerful complement to your treatment plan that supports your body's natural healing processes from the inside out.
What Is It?
Full-Spectrum Infrared Therapy
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light waves to penetrate directly into your body's tissues — warming you from the inside out at a comfortable temperature. Full-spectrum infrared includes near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths, each targeting different layers of tissue for a comprehensive healing effect.
At R3 Physio, we offer infrared sauna sessions as a standalone recovery service or as a complement to your physical therapy treatment plan — helping your body respond better to manual therapy, reduce post-treatment soreness, and accelerate tissue healing between sessions.
Why Infrared Sauna?
Key Benefits
Reduce Inflammation
Far infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into tissues to reduce systemic and local inflammation — a root driver of chronic pain and slow recovery.
Detoxification
Sweating at the cellular level helps your body eliminate heavy metals, environmental toxins, and metabolic waste products that accumulate in tissues.
Improve Circulation
Infrared heat dilates blood vessels and increases circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to muscles, joints, and healing tissues.
Accelerate Muscle Recovery
Increased blood flow and reduced inflammation speed up recovery from exercise, injury, and manual therapy — so you feel better faster between sessions.
Nervous System Regulation
The gentle warmth activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol, calming the stress response, and improving sleep quality.
Fascia & Tissue Mobility
Heat increases the extensibility of fascia and connective tissue, making it an ideal complement to Functional Manual Therapy and myofascial work.
