Enhanced Blood Flow

When you’re in the warm, inviting environment of a sauna, the body wants to lose heat. It moves blood to the skin by opening blood vessels in the hands and feet through a process known as vasodilation.

This improves blood flow to your muscles, helping to disperse the negative metabolic by-products of exercise. In addition, it speeds in restorative molecules and proteins, as well as fuel in the form of glycogen. Increased blood flow can also reduce swelling and inflammation caused by exercise, contributing to pain relief and more rapid healing.

Reduce Muscle Spasms and Pain

Pain can be linked to a lack of blood flow when you have muscle tension or spasms. The pain you feel can be reduced by improved blood flow as a result of Infrared Sauna use. It has also been shown that heat can reduce the sensation of pain by acting directly on specific nerves. Lastly, using The Recovery Project’s Infrared Sauna Blanket can have a pain-reducing effect by increasing endorphin secretion.

Improved Performance in the Heat

During exposure to the Recovery Project’s Infrared Sauna Blanket, your body temperature increases. This rise in body temperature causes physiological changes like those encountered during physical exercise. If used following exercise, repeated Infrared Sauna sessions result in beneficial adaptations for improving performance, especially in hot and humid environments.

Reduce Muscle and Joint Stiffness

Our Infrared Sauna Blanket can aid the repair of damaged or thickened ligaments (attaches bone to bone) and tendons (attaches muscle to bone). This is because heat increases circulation within the joints and reduces synovial fluid thickness, which reduces friction, helping you move more freely.
