Why we offer it

At Perth Osteopathic Medicine, our infrared sauna is an important part of our whole-body approach to care. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, supporting your cardiovascular system, or simply seeking a moment to reconnect with yourself, the sauna offers therapeutic support in a quiet, restorative space.

Many of our patients use sauna in conjunction with osteopathy, massage, or podiatry treatments to:

• Warm up the body before treatment

• Loosen tight muscles

• Boost the benefits of manual therapy

You’re welcome to use the sauna as a stand-alone service or as part of a broader wellness plan. Your body will thank you

Evidence-Based Benefits & Safety

Infrared sauna therapy is backed by studies linking regular use to improvements in inflammation, heart health, mood, sleep, and physical recovery. Research from Finland even showed a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality in frequent sauna users.

The benefits include

• Increased circulation and oxygen delivery

• Decreased C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation)

• Enhanced cellular repair via heat shock proteins (HSPs)

• Gentle cardiovascular conditioning

• Improved flexibility and joint mobility

Our sauna sessions are safe, private, and guided by best-practice recommendations. We encourage hydration before and after use and offer guidance on session length based on your goals and experience level.
