Can anyone use a Physiotherm?
Pretty much. From young to old they are a safe and enjoyable treatment. However, anyone with specific health conditions should consult their health professional before using. Young children will dehydrate faster than an adult due to their ratio of surface area to volume. They should therefore be strictly supervised at all times. Is the Physiotherm really effective for pain relief? Infrared heat has been used for generations to aid in pain relief from sore muscles and joints. One of the main reasons for its ability to do this is through the dilating of capillaries in areas associated with pain that allows oxygen rich blood to bathe the area, flushing away acid metabolic wastes that build up contributing to pain, soreness and stiffness. Recent clinical research undertaken on the Physiotherm infrared technology showed that the brain also increased production of pain relieving neurotransmitters which offers a double pain relieving effect!
