Helo®, long known as a world leader in saunas and steambaths, is also a world leader in infrared heat therapy rooms. Not to be confused with saunas, infrared rooms offer their own unique features and benefits.

Infrared is perfect as a "heat therapy room", for athletes looking for a pre-workout warm-up---to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It's also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy.

A session in an infrared room can help relieve pain and speed healing of injuries such as sprains, strains and muscle aches. Whether it be for spot treatment of a sore shoulder, or basking your whole body in the radiating heat, it will provide soothing relief.

What is the difference between a traditional Finnish Sauna and an Infrared heat therapy room? In a traditional Finnish sauna, "Climate" is very important. The sauna heater's heating elements transfer heat to the rocks and wood of the sauna room---causing a soft, radiating heat.

The heat "envelopes" the user. Steam is an important part of the sauna climate and the sauna experience. Humidity is adjusted to the users' preferences by sprinkling water on the heated rocks, creating a soft steam.

In an Infrared Heat Therapy Room, the operating temperature is much lower than a sauna, humidity levels are at normal household humidities, there is less heat-up time, and the heat is directed at the bather.

What is an Infrared Heat Therapy Room?
A Helo® Infrared Heat Therapy Room provides soothing heat, directly radiated to the body, with almost no time waiting for preheating.

Helo® Infrared rooms and Infrared heaters are proudly manufactured in our Minnesota facility. The amount and positioning of the heat source is specially harmonized to the particular Infrared room's design and size. The heat radiates in a wide angle from each heater so the heat is spread evenly within the cabin space.
