An infrared sauna is a cabin fitted with infrared panels that warm your body directly. The air inside does get warm, but heating the air is a side effect rather than the method. That is what separates it from a traditional sauna, which heats the room first and lets the hot air do the rest.
Because the air is not doing the work, the cabin runs cooler than a traditional sauna room. We have not put a temperature on this page. Ask us for the actual range on our cabin, and for the session length we suggest if it is your first time.
A session is simple. You sit for a set period and you sweat. Bring water.
People come for different reasons, most often for somewhere quiet to sit. Nothing on this page is a claim about what sitting in a warm cabin does for you, and the clinic does not present the sauna as a treatment. If a health matter is behind your interest, speak to your doctor before booking.
Read this before your first session
An infrared cabin is not suitable for everyone.
- Leave it for another day if you have been drinking, or if you are unwell or have a fever.
- Sweating is heavy enough that you may feel lightheaded on standing. Stand slowly, sit once you are out, and rehydrate before driving or doing anything else.
- Come out if you feel unwell at any point. Overheating and dehydration are real risks in a hot cabin.
- See your doctor for clearance first if you have any health condition, high blood pressure or a heart condition among them, or if you are under medical care.
- Let us know at booking if you are pregnant or might be, or if you have a pacemaker or other implanted cardiac device.
- Heat and light sensitivity is a side effect of some medications. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether anything you take is affected.
- Children should not use the sauna.
