Sunlighten Infrared Sauna
Our Sunlighten mPulse Smart Sauna combines the healing power of infrared therapy with cutting-edge smart technology for unmatched convenience and effectiveness.
No matter if you are an athlete, weekend warrior, or just trying to stay active, proper muscle recovery is crucial to your success. A sauna session at Restore & Repair penetrates muscles deeper, increases blood flow, and speeds up recovery so you can stay in the game, whether you're playing sports or living a healthy lifestyle.
Why Sauna
Most people understand the benefits of exercise and training when trying to enhance performance or build muscle, and often, that's all they do. In addition to training, the recovery process, or downtime in between training, allows the body to heal tissue damage and rebuild muscles.
Building muscle not only boosts strength, but also enhances metabolism, prevents injuries, improves bone density, and aids in reducing excess body fat. In our sauna, you can efficiently recover while enjoying a quick movie or TV episode on the tablet screen.
The Science
The Journal of Athletic Enhancement published a study of 10 national-level power athletes that found far infrared improves neuromuscular performance during intensive training associated with increased testosterone/cortisol ratio. “Improved recovery can enable harder training and accelerate further athletic development.”
Our sauna also features red light therapy and near infrared rays (NIR). One of the foremost researchers on infrared, Dr. Michael Hamblin, published a study which suggests that red light and near infrared (NIR) can increase muscle mass gained after training, and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress.

RITUAL recovery ICE BATH
How ice bath therapy works
During a training session, your muscles burn fuel and that creates a build-up of toxic waste products and lactic acids. Your body will naturally eliminate these waste products over a day or two however ice baths can reduce this recovery time to hours.
By immersing your body in chilled water, the sudden cold sets off a reaction in the limbic (ancient) area in the base of your brain that is programmed to respond to such dramatic external events, in this case it senses that you might be freezing dangerously. This is also called the 'fight-or-flight' response.
An automatic process begins to restore your body's core temperature to safe levels by increasing blood flow and withdrawing most of the blood from your skin and outer soft tissue and muscles into the core of your body via your internal organs. This introduces fresh oxygenated blood and flushes the dangerous toxins and waste products quickly & effectively, much faster than the natural process. This eliminates the soreness related to exercise and speeds up your muscle recovery process.
This response to ‘environmental stress’ conditions our brain to cope better with the stressors of everyday life and helps decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines which are linked to anxiety and depression. Most athletes report higher moods and better sleep after an ice bath.
