Far-infrared is perfect as a “heat therapy room” for athletes looking for a pre-workout warmup
to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It’s also ideal for
pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing wind-down at the
end of a stress-filled day. Far-infrared heat is also ideal for soothing sore muscles and joints
after a workout.
A Helo Far-Infrared sauna provides soothing heat, directly radiated to the body, with almost
no time waiting for preheating. The far-infrared radiant heat induces a deep sweat—for
cleansing and detoxifying the body and for burning calories. Using the latest Japanese
far-infrared technology, Helo’s CarbonFlex™ heating panels have the largest surface area of
any IR sauna heating system—providing the softest heat.
Helo’s CarbonFlex™ performs better than other IR systems, with a near-perfect wavelength of
8.4 to 9.4 microns (well within the “Vital Range” of 7 to 14 microns). This optimal wavelength
provides for deeper penetration of far-infrared heat—which, in turn, can enhance detoxification,
cardiovascular conditioning and relief from muscle and joint aches and pains.

Under high heat, the body releases
endorphins — the body’s naturally
produced pain relieving chemical.
Endorphins can have a mild and
enjoyable tranquilizing effect and the
ability to quell the pain of arthritis
(and muscle soreness from an intense
physical workout).
Body temperature rises from the
heat of the sauna, causing blood
vessels to dilate and circulation to
increase. The increased blood flow
accelerates the body’s natural healing
process—soothing aches and pains
and speeding up of the healing of cuts
and bruises.
Following sporting activity, use the
heat of a sauna for muscle relaxation
by helping to reduce muscle tension
and eliminate lactic acid and other
toxins.
