Infrared Sauna
Here are some tips in preparation for your Infrared Sauna recovery session:
1. Drink at least 1 litre of water before your sauna and keep well hydrated during your session; Avoid dehydrating drinks such as alcohol and coffee.

2. Remove all make up and anything that clogs your pores to allow sweating; this includes oils and lotions.
