Please take a look at the rules and safety precautions listed here before using the Recovery Room amenities. If you have any questions regarding the safety of any of our services, consult with your physician prior to booking.
Our sauna is a Far-Infrared (dry heat) sauna and can reach 140 degrees fahrenheit.
Any of the below contraindications will require clients to use discretion for your own wellbeing. Please acknowledge that severe medical conditions or pregnancy should require authorization from your doctor prior to the use of the infrared sauna.
MEDICATIONS
Diuretics, barbituates, and beta-blockers may impair the body's natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or, to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over the counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
PREGNANCY / LACTATION
Pregnant women should consult a physician and get written consent before using the infrared sauna. If breastfeeding, do not use the sauna. The detoxification process can expell toxins into your breast milk.
MENSTRUATION
Heating of the low back area during your menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow.
ELDERLY
The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain a core body temperature. As we mature, our bodies naturally lose this capability. Guests over the age of 70 will be permitted for infrared sauna use, but we recommend a lower temperature.
CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONS
Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems (hypertension/hypotension), congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation, or those who are taking medications which might affect blood pressure should exercise caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by 30 beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.
ALCOHOL/ALCOHOL USE:
It is not advisable to "sweat out" a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person's judgement and they may not recognize a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress.
CHRONIC CONDITIONS/DISEASES associated with reduced ability to perspire: Multiple sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, and diabetes with neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating and we recommend speaking with a doctor before using the sauna.
HEMOPHELIACS
Individuals prone to bleeding: Do not use the sauna
FEVER
We recommend avoiding the use of a sauna until your fever subsides.
Joint Injury: If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours of injuring or until swollen symptoms subside. If you have joints that are chronically hot and swollen, they may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
IMPLANTS:
metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus will not be heated by this sauna system. Nevertheless, you may want to consult your physician prior to using an infrared sauna.
PACEMAKERS/DEFRIBULATOR
The magnets used to assemble infrared saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.
Please understand that clients use our massage chair at their own risk.
Discontinue use if you experience any pain or discomfort, or if you for any other reason suspect that it could be causing harm.
