Infrared & Heated Saunas
At Elysian Institute, our infrared sauna therapy Montana sessions are designed to support both physical recovery and mental relaxation. Whether you are dealing with daily stress, muscle soreness, or fatigue, infrared heat therapy provides a natural and restorative solution.
What is Infrared/Heat Sauna Therapy?
Infrared sauna therapy Montana works by using infrared light waves to penetrate the body and raise core temperature. Unlike traditional saunas that rely on high ambient heat, infrared technology delivers a more controlled and comfortable heat experience.
This process encourages the body to sweat at a lower temperature while still gaining all the benefits of deep heat therapy. Many clients prefer this method because it feels more tolerable while still being highly effective.
The most frequently asked Sauna Therapy questions
What is an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses gentle infrared light (a form of heat) to warm your body directly, instead of heating the air around you like a traditional sauna. This allows you to sweat and experience the benefits of heat therapy at a lower, more comfortable temperature. At Elysian Institute, clients often use infrared saunas to help with relaxation, detoxification, improved circulation, and muscle recovery. It’s a soothing and non-invasive way to support your overall wellness.
What do I wear?
For your infrared sauna session at Elysian Institute, we recommend wearing light, breathable clothing such as a swimsuit or gym shorts and a sports bra. Many clients choose to wear just a towel, which we provide, to maximize skin exposure and sweating. You’ll also be given a towel to sit on for hygiene and comfort. Avoid heavy or layered clothing, as the goal is to allow the infrared heat to penetrate your skin effectively. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask a staff member—we’re happy to help you get set up comfortably.
Is there anyone who should not sweat?
Yes, there are certain individuals who should avoid or use caution with infrared sauna sessions, especially if sweating may not be safe for their condition. These include:
- People with uncontrolled heart conditions (like severe arrhythmias or unstable angina)
- Those with recent strokes or heart attacks
- Individuals with heat sensitivity or an impaired ability to sweat (e.g., from neuropathy or certain skin conditions)
- People who are severely dehydrated
- Anyone with a fever or active infection
- Pregnant individuals
- Those taking medications that affect blood pressure, hydration, or heat sensitivity
This is not a complete list. If you have a medical condition or are taking prescription medications, please speak with your healthcare provider and inform our staff before your session. Your safety is our top priority at Elysian Institute.
