Pain management:
Heat creating an analgesic effect brings temporary pain relief. Promoting blood circulation to affected areas can aid in the healing of muscle and soft tissue injuries such as sprain, strain, arthritis, muscle spasm.

Detox:
Many people go out of there way not to sweat, especially women. Sweating is a natural and beneficial process. Toxins are both water based and oil based. The heat generated by the Infrared Body Wrap can stimulate the sweat glands and in combination with increased blood circulation can help release built up toxins and waste trapped in cells and tissues.

Body fluid retention:
People with mild forms of fluid retention around the ankles and feet can use the Infrared Body wrap to target these areas by using the variable wraps on the areas with fluid build up.

Skin conditioning:
Pores may clog up for a variety of reasons and sweating helps the cleansing process, helping to improve skin condition and making it more supple. Promoting additional oxygen-enriched blood into areas where there is scar tissue may also aid the skin regeneration process.

Increasing flexibility:
Heat can help reduce joint and muscle tightness, aiding movement.

Improved blood circulation:
Conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, menstrual cramps, fatigue, psoriasis and acne, can to some degree be due to poor blood circulation. The Infrared Body Wrap heats the body to aid stimulation of the flow of blood to peripheral areas.

General Wellbeing:
A 50 minute session can help people relieve stress and tension, promoting relaxation and a general sense of well being.

Based on clinical trials and results from customers, you could expect to lose one clothes size in 8-10 sessions. The sessions need to be 2-3 days apart.

Your water intake will help flush toxins and waste products from your body as your metabolism improves. Drinking water before, during and after treatment is recommended. Used in conjunction with dieting, the loss is greater than for those who aren’t. It is recommended that you keep your carbohydrate intake down for 24 hours after each treatment. As with any treatment, we will discuss any existing medical conditions you have before treatment starts, and if you are unsure, consult your doctor.

The core temperature of our body is 37°C. The outer areas of the body where most of our fat tends to be stored tends to be up to 10°C cooler and is normally poorly supplied with blood. The infrared heat, provided through the Formostar’s bandage system penetrates deeply into the subcutaneous fat tissue, promoting increased blood circulation, leading to stimulation of lipolytic (fat burning) enzyme activity.

By applying the bandages directly to the body there is very little heat dissipation, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment.

Repeated sessions can also promote capillary proliferation, which is the growth of fine blood vessels. Improved circulation facilitates natural purification of the body. Other by-products of the metabolic process, trapped in cells and tissues, are carried off at a faster rate.

Infrared is a well proven technology that has been employed for a long time, by many people the world over, for relieving aches and pains, usually by way of small lamps. Panels that produce infrared rays are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies, so the technology behind the Formostar system is not a new concept.

The sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared spectrum and our bodies produce infrared heat to keep us warm. We radiate infrared at 3-50 microns with most of the output at 9.4 microns. The Formostar system works with theses wavebands.

“I’m halfway through a course of Infrared Body Wrap treatments and it’s just fantastic! I came across Interactive Healing Therapies while doing a online search for back massages and wanted to try the Infra Red treatment as I had never tried it before. The staff here are wonderful and you feel really relaxed after a 50 minute session. Even though it’s very hot in there, I usually manage to fall asleep! It’s a really nice way to end the day after a hard day at work. I would thoroughly recommend Interactive Healing Therapies to anyone.”

“Before treatment, I needed a kick start for my training and weight loss goals. My body felt tense and heavy. After treatment, I felt very relaxed, my muscles were relaxed. I also had an overall feeling of wellbeing. The staff team are professional and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the experience.”
