The Benefits of Far Infrared Heat Therapy

Jan 27, 2025

There is a wide array of health benefits associated with using a far infrared sauna that can take your health, recovery and fitness to the next level. At Re-Gen, our recovery system consists of 15 minutes of cryotherapy (using a cold-water bath) followed by 15 minutes of far infrared heat therapy. This change in temperature from cold to hot can improve multiple aspects of your health, including your metabolism and heart health. In fact, studies have shown that just 15 minutes of infrared heat can improve how your heart functions and can increase how many calories you burn throughout the day. It also plays a significant role in reducing pain. For example, research shows that regular infrared heat use over a 1 month period can reduce pain by over 25%. 

The far infrared rays penetrate deep within tissues to improve blood flow in the joints and deep muscles, while also working on a cellular level heating you from the inside out. This is opposed to the less effective, traditional steam saunas that heat your body from the outside in. It also plays a role in detoxification, flushing out cellular debris, while enhancing tissue regeneration and blood circulation. It can also start the process of muscle protein synthesis sooner, aiding in better recovery outcomes. For all these reasons, incorporating heat therapy into your life and recovery can set you on a path to optimal health, fitness and longevity.
