Can I have a massage and sauna on the same day?

Yes, you absolutely can have a massage and sauna session on the same day. It’s a matter of person preference and there is no evidence to suggest any harmful effects from combining the two treatments. In fact, these two can complement each other, offering a more comprehensive relaxation experience. Both treatments will help your body relax but they do that in different ways. While the heat from the sauna creates a deep, system wide relaxation, massage provides its state of relaxation by movement of muscles and soft tissue through manipulation by touch. Combining the two can give a truly full body treatment.

 

Is it better to have a massage before or after?

Just like with traditional saunas, it is better to have a massage after an infrared sauna session. Infrared saunas heat the body from within using special infrared heaters.

​

Regardless of these general recommendations, personal preferences should be taken into consideration. Some individuals may prefer to have their massage first, and that’s perfectly fine. Listen to your body and do what feels best for you.

​

Remember, the ultimate goal of these treatments is to help you relax and de-stress. Discuss your preferences with your massage therapist and spa staff to ensure that your experience is as beneficial and enjoyable as possible.

 

Importantly, if you have any underlying health conditions that could be affected by heat exposure or massage, it’s essential to consult with a health professional to ensure the combination is safe for you.

​

Do not use an Infrared Sauna if any of the following apply:

• Pregnant or Nursing

• Battery powered or electrical implant

• Heart Pacemaker

• Current fever or infection

• Unstable Blood pressure

• Recent Cardiovascular event

• History of dizziness, fainting spells, Heat sensitivity, Narcolepsy, or seizures.

• Bleeding disorders

 

How Infrared Saunas Work:

Infrared heat and light penetrates your skin and will warm your body directly allowing heat to penetrate more deeply than warmed air.  Infrared saunas run at a lower temperature than a traditional sauna.  This environment is more tolerable, which allows you to stay in the sauna longer while increasing your core body temperature enabling you to experience a more intense sweat at a lower temperature.

 

Recovery Time and Hydration

Don’t forget to stay hydrated! The heat from the sauna can cause you to sweat a lot, which can lead to dehydration if you don’t replenish your fluids.

 

Remember to drink water before, during, and after your sauna sessions. Hydration can enhance the benefits of both the sauna and the massage, ensuring that your body is well-equipped to handle the treatments.
