Infrared Heat Technology
What is Infrared Heat?
Infrared heat (infrared radiation) is a type of energy that we feel as warmth, which comes from a source of heat like the sun, a fire, or a heater. Imagine how sunlight feels warm on your skin even on a cool day; that’s because of infrared heat traveling through the air and heating up things it touches, including you. Infrared is a kind of light that we can’t see with our eyes, but our skin can feel it as heat. It’s part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes other types of light like the colors we see, ultraviolet light (which can cause sunburns), and X-rays. Infrared heat works by directly warming up objects, people, and surfaces in its path without needing to warm up the air first, making it a very efficient way to deliver warmth.
This warmth can go deep into our muscles and soft tissues, offering several health benefits. When we use infrared heating pads or undergo infrared therapy, the gentle heat helps to relax muscle tension, ease sore muscles, and reduce joint pain. It’s a safe and natural way to encourage the body to heal itself.
The warmth from infrared therapy can also help improve blood circulation. This not only speeds up muscle recovery from pain but can also support better cardiovascular health by gently elevating blood pressure to healthy levels. By targeting areas of muscle pain with a specific heat level, infrared therapy can provide a soothing effect, offering relief and comfort.
Moreover, the use of infrared heating pads can be particularly effective in reducing muscle tension and alleviating pain. Whether it’s stiff joints or sore muscles, the deep penetrating heat helps to relax and rejuvenate the body. It’s a beneficial approach for those looking to relieve discomfort while also supporting overall well-being.
Infrared therapy isn’t just about providing warmth; it’s about harnessing a specific range of light to promote healing, improve circulation, and enhance your body’s natural recovery processes.
Far Infrared Heat benefits include:
- alleviates joint aches
- detoxifies the body
- reduces water retention
- alleviates chronic fatigue and chronic pain
- reduces minor muscle aches and provides pain relief
- reduces inflammation
The mat that we use also incorporates PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) and negative ions. PEMF treatments stimulate the body at a cellular level and have been shown to reduce depression, alleviate arthritis, increase circulation, reduce migraines, boost the immune system and promote bone and nerve repair. Negative ions clean the air, reduce Seasonal Affective Disorder and boost serotonin production.
Infrared heat vibrates the blood cells causing the cell to let go of impurities. This can allow the body to get rid of heavy metals and harmful carcinogens allowing for less illness, better circulation, and more energy. Infrared is 7 times more effective than steam saunas or conventional heating pads.
To add the infrared heat mat to your massage it only costs $20 extra for the hour or $30 extra for 90 minutes. Schedule under Specialty massage>Rejuevaheat Massage on our online scheduler.

Q: What are the benefits of Infrared Heat Massage Therapy?
A: The benefits include reducing inflammation, easing back pain, promoting relaxation, and providing relief from muscle soreness.
Q: Is Infrared Heat Massage suitable for everyone?
A: While generally safe, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before trying this therapy, especially if you have certain medical conditions or are pregnant.
Q: Is the temperature adjustable?
A: Yes, the temperature is completely adjustable. The mat controller allows you to tailor it to your temperature needs. The ideal temperature for a massage session is 55-65° C (131-149° F), but if you want the temperature raised or lowered we can do that. The mat will get as high as 70°C or 158°F.
Q: How often should one get an Infrared Heat Massage?
A: The frequency of sessions can vary depending on individual needs, but typically, a series of sessions spread out over a period is recommended for optimal results. If you have chronic pain, we suggest 2-3 times per month to relieve pain. If you are having acute pain or are getting preventative massage then one time every 4-6 weeks has shown to have positive effects.
Q: Are there any contraindications for Infrared Heat Therapy?
A: Individuals with certain conditions such as open wounds, fever, or sensitivity to heat should avoid this therapy. It is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
Contraindications include:
- Varicose Veins
- Open wounds or thin skin
- Bypass surgery
- Conditions requiring use of muscle relaxers
- Use of blood thinners such as Coumadin
- Decreased skin integrity or temperature sensitivity
Q: Can Infrared Heat Massage help with back pain?
A: Yes, the combination of infrared heat and massage techniques can be extremely effective in relieving lower back pain and helping muscle strain.
Q: Is there an at home infrared massager that you would recommend?
I would recommend buying your own Healthy Line Mat to use regularly at home, especially if you have chronic low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis or tennis elbow. If you want a hand held infrared massager that uses vibration massage, has an infrared heat function and uses different nub attachments the Beurer MG21 has a lot of good customer reviews in 2024.
