Infrared Sauna: Support Your Body & Pelvic Health
Full-spectrum infrared saunas are a relaxing wellness tool that gently warms your body with near, mid, and far infrared light. Supporting circulation, muscle relaxation, and metabolic responses.
How sauna use may support overall health:
-Circulation & heat adaptation: Increases blood flow, supporting muscles and tissues
-Metabolic activation: Thermoregulatory responses slightly increase energy use a gentle complement to a healthy lifestyle, not a weight-loss tool
-Muscle relaxation & recovery: Soothes tight muscles after exercise or prolonged sitting
-Stress reduction & relaxation: Supports mental wellbeing, which can improve adherence to healthy routines
What this means for your pelvic floor:
Regular sauna use may indirectly support pelvic floor health and continence by:
✔ Reducing muscle tension in the core, lower back, and hips
✔ Supporting recovery after pelvic floor or core exercise
✔ Enhancing blood flow to pelvic muscles, which may aid muscle function
✔ Promoting overall body awareness and relaxation, helping with adherence to pelvic floor training
Tip: Combine sauna sessions with pelvic floor strengthening exercises or Emsella to support continence, muscle tone, and recovery under professional guidance.
Relax. Support your muscles. Boost circulation. Care for your pelvic floor.
