Infrared Sauna
Lotus Massage Therapy also offers infrared sauna treatments for helping athletes reach their performance goals. Athletes can passively condition the cardiovascular system (including during injury) through the use of the infrared sauna. Cardiac output, heart rate and metabolic rate is substantially raised. The sauna can help speed up injury recovery via increased circulation to the affected area. A heat-conditioned athlete can burn off 600-800 kcal per 30 minute session
