Is an infrared cabin for people suffering from vein diseases?
You must not use the cabin if you are suffering from a recent thrombosis. The physician treating you will be able to determine when no risk exists any longer due to increased blood circulation (i.e. increased reversed blood flow through the veins) through the affected leg. Varicose veins are of themselves no reason to avoid using the cabin. Physiotherm intentionally does not employ heaters in the lower leg region, so that treatment agrees well with most people. Nonetheless, during treatment the venal system must return an increased volume of blood to the body, so that in rare cases (i.e. with a seriously damaged venal system) a feeling of tension in the lower leg may be reported. The veins are then working to capacity to transport blood. You can, if necessary, put up your legs on a small stool (10 – 15 cm is usually a sufficient height) in order to minimise the hydrostatic pressure in the veins of the lower leg. Additionally, you can use a soft seat (e.g. foam cushion), but please cove
