The Protocol
Experience 20 minutes of the benefits of infrared sauna and red-light therapy simultaneously for a comprehensive wellness boost. This powerful combination offers a synergistic approach to improving your overall health and well-being.
Infrared Sauna Benefits
Infrared saunas use far-infrared light to penetrate deep into your body, offering numerous health benefits in just a short session. A 20-minute infrared sauna session is considered optimal based on studies, as it provides sufficient time to reap the benefits without risking dehydration or overexposure. Key advantages include:
Detoxification: Far-infrared light induces deep sweating, helping your body eliminate toxins and heavy metals.
Improved circulation: The heat causes blood vessels to dilate, enhancing blood flow throughout your body.
Pain relief: Infrared therapy can help ease joint stiffness and reduce muscle soreness.
Stress reduction: Sauna sessions promote relaxation and may help decrease anxiety and depression.
Better sleep: Regular use has been linked to improved sleep quality.
Cardiovascular health: Studies show that infrared sauna use can boost heart health and lower blood pressure
Red Light Therapy Benefits
While infrared saunas focus on heat therapy, red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function. When combined with infrared sauna use, red light therapy can enhance the overall therapeutic experience. Red light therapy offers:
Skin rejuvenation: It promotes collagen production and elastin synthesis, improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging.
Wound healing: Near-infrared light accelerates wound healing and enhances cell regeneration.
Muscle recovery: Red light therapy can speed up muscle recovery after physical activity.
Pain management: It has shown promise in treating chronic pain conditions.
Optimal Duration
A 20-minute session combines the best of both worlds, allowing you to experience the deep penetrating heat of the infrared sauna while benefiting from the cellular stimulation of red-light therapy. This duration provides enough time for your body to warm up, begin sweating, and absorb the therapeutic light without risking overexposure. By integrating both infrared sauna and red-light therapy into your wellness routine, you can create a powerful, holistic approach to improving your physical and mental well-being. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body during these sessions to maximize the benefits while ensuring your comfort and safety.

Contrast Therapy Landing Page
The Rehab Lab offers cutting-edge contrast water therapy using high-level hydro tubs that are utilized by elite professional and collegiate sports teams like the LA Rams, Ohio State Buckeyes, and University of Michigan Wolverines. This advanced hydrotherapy technique provides numerous benefits for recovery and performance.
Benefits of Contrast Water Therapy
Contrast water therapy alternates between hot and cold-water immersion to stimulate circulation and promote healing. Some key benefits include:
Reduced Muscle Soreness: The alternating temperatures help decrease delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and weakness following intense exercise.
Faster Recovery: The "pumping" action of vasodilation and vasoconstriction helps remove metabolic waste and reduce swelling, allowing athletes to recover more quickly.
Decreased Fatigue: Studies show contrast therapy is more effective than passive rest at alleviating post-game fatigue in team sport athletes.
Improved Circulation: The temperature changes stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage throughout the body.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
The Rehab Lab's hydrotherapy setup are also used by top sports organizations: the LA Rams, Ohio Buckeyes, and U of M Wolverines are provided with the same high level contrast tubs.
