Step into a world where wellness meets science. Discover the power of infrared sauna therapy, and elevate your recovery with RCVRI. We’re excited to welcome you on a journey to a healthier, fitter, and more vibrant life.
What are Infrared Saunas
Restore and recharge in our spacious, state-of-the-art infrared sauna. RCVRI offers a “dry” sauna experience that utilises infrared lamps to therapeutically warm your body. This method induces deep, healthy sweating while the surroundings maintains a comfortable temperature. Infrared saunas can maintain a much lower temperature (between 49°C and 60°C) than traditional saunas and have much lower levels of humidity.
Standard sauna sessions last 30 minutes, including showering and changing. Bookings are for shared sessions, unless specifically reserved as a private booking. Please bring along a towel to sit on, a small towel to wipe away any sweat, and swimwear to wear during your session. We ask that everyone showers before using the sauna. You may also shower throughout the session if you would like to cool down during your session.. It is recommended to arrive in loose, relaxed clothing. RCVRI provides large and secure change rooms to store your belongings.
Saunas are not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those fitted with pacemakers, or affected by lupus. Please consult your local GP or specialist before using the saunas if you suffer from any ailments or are taking any medication. We ask that you do not book a sauna if you have applied fake tan within the last 48 hours.

Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the body by warming the air, infrared saunas utilise infrared light to heat your body directly. Although invisible to the human eye, this light penetrates deeper into the skin, elevating your core body temperature while offering a comfortable and relaxing experience.

The Science Behind Infrared Sauna Therapy
The physiological benefits of infrared sauna therapy are comprehensive and impactful. The deep heat penetration improves circulation, akin to the effects of a light cardiovascular workout. This enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to every part of your body, aiding in recovery, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall health.
The heat from the infrared sauna also helps your body sweat, aiding in the detoxification process. By helping to expel toxins, an infrared sauna can help in maintaining healthy immunity and improving skin health.
From a performance perspective regular infrared sauna sessions can aid muscle recovery, reduce post-workout soreness, and increase flexibility. It can potentially lead to improved endurance, as the heat adaptation can improve your body’s efficiency in regulating its temperature, a crucial factor in athletic performance.
Beyond Physical: The Psychological Benefits
Infrared sauna therapy isn’t just physical therapy; it also provides a host of psychological benefits. The comfortable heat can bring deep relaxation and stress relief, improve your mood and promote better sleep. Regular sauna sessions can act as a mental health booster, providing a tranquil space to unwind and recharge.
Moreover, the discipline of regular sauna use can foster a sense of mindfulness. This dedicated time for self-care can become a meditative practice, enhancing your sense of self-awareness and encouraging a more mindful lifestyle.
