BLACK MOUNTAIN PENINSULA, canberra
The Red Shed offers a comprehensive wellness experience by providing access to both Finnish and Infrared Sauna facilities. These therapies can be utilised as standalone sessions or in conjunction with your rowing, gym, or wellness program to enhance recovery, boost performance, and promote overall well-being.
In many cultures, saunas are a social gathering place where friends and family come together to relax, unwind, and connect.
The Finnish sauna tradition, in particular, emphasizes the use of dry heat in a wood-paneled room, typically with temperatures ranging from 70°C to 100°C. This intense heat induces profuse sweating and promotes various health benefits, including improved circulation, relaxation, detoxification, and stress reduction.
Infrared saunas, which use infrared heaters to emit radiant heat that is absorbed directly by the body, have gained popularity for their ability to penetrate deeper into tissues, providing similar therapeutic benefits as traditional saunas but at lower temperatures.
Whether enjoying the traditional Finnish sauna experience or the modern approach of infrared saunas, the communal aspect and relaxation benefits remain central to sauna culture.
Benefits of Finnish & Infrared Sauna:
01
IMPROVED RECOVERY & PERFORMANCE
The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow throughout the body. This improved circulation can aid in faster muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote overall cardiovascular health that leads to greater performance.
02
RELAXATION
The sauna environment helps to relax muscles and alleviate tension, making it an effective treatment for muscle soreness, stiffness, and chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
03
STRESS REDUCTION
Infrared saunas are known for their ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress levels. By incorporating these therapies into your wellness routine, you can benefit from an overall sense of calm and well-being.
04
BOOSTED IMMUNE SYSTEM
Regular sauna use has been shown to stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting off infections and illness. This can help to strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of colds, flu, and other common illnesses.
05
DETOXIFICATION
Sweating in the sauna helps to flush toxins and impurities from the body through the pores. Regular sauna use can support the body's natural detoxification process, leading to clearer skin and improved overall health.
06
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
The Red Shed's Ice Bath and Infrared Sauna facilities can be easily incorporated into your existing rowing, gym, or wellness program. Simply book a session that fits within your schedule and enjoy the benefits of these therapeutic treatments.
