Infrared Sauna in Monrovia – Relax, Detox, Recover

Looking for a powerful way to unwind, detoxify, and speed up recovery? An infrared sauna offers all of that—and more. At Athletic Recovery Center in Monrovia, our full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions are designed to help you relax deeply while supporting circulation, pain relief, and full-body healing.

Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light waves to penetrate deep into your tissues. This gentle but effective heat therapy supports a range of health goals from post-workout recovery to chronic pain management.

What Is an Infrared Sauna?

Infrared saunas use infrared light (near, mid, and far wavelengths) to warm the body directly. This method allows for a lower ambient temperature—typically around 120°F to 140°F—while still inducing a deep, detoxifying sweat.



This form of heat therapy has been shown to promote cardiovascular function, enhance circulation, stimulate collagen, and support the removal of toxins through the skin.

Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy

1. Detoxification Through Deep Sweating

Infrared heat penetrates up to 1.5 inches into the body, allowing for a more effective sweat than traditional saunas. This deep sweat helps eliminate heavy metals, BPA, and other toxins stored in fat cells.

2. Muscle Recovery and Pain Relief

Infrared sauna helps reduce muscle soreness and joint stiffness after workouts or injury. The heat boosts blood flow and oxygen to recovering muscles and connective tissues.

3. Stress Relief and Mental Clarity

Infrared therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and promoting deep relaxation. Many clients report feeling mentally refreshed after each session.

4. Skin Health and Anti-Aging

Increased circulation brings nutrients to the skin, improving tone, elasticity, and collagen production. Infrared sauna is often used to combat acne, eczema, and signs of aging.

5. Cardiovascular Support

Studies suggest that regular use of infrared saunas may lower blood pressure, improve heart rate variability, and enhance vascular function—offering a passive form of cardio health maintenance.

Infrared Sauna vs Traditional Sauna

While both offer relaxation and detoxification, infrared saunas:

• Operate at lower, more comfortable temperatures
  
  
• Penetrate deeper into tissue layers
  
  
• Induce sweat with less cardiovascular strain
  
  
• They are often more accessible for people with heat sensitivity or respiratory conditions
  

Who Should Use Infrared Sauna?

Ideal for:

• Athletes recovering from intense training
  
  
• Busy professionals dealing with stress or fatigue
  
  
• Individuals with chronic pain, arthritis, or fibromyalgia
  
  
• People seeking gentle detox and improved immune function
  
  
• Anyone wanting to boost metabolism and skin health
  
  

Contraindications may apply for pregnant women or those with unstable cardiovascular conditions—please consult your physician.
