Far Infra-Red Sauna

At the Beauty Revival Clinic we have a Solo Far Infra Red Sauna.
We have had this wonderful addition to our clinic since March 2008.

In the past 12months Many of our clients have enjoyed the wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic benefits of this sauna particularly when combined with Massage.

Our regular clients enjoy sauna sessions in pamper packages to unwind, relax and de-stress especially before massages so they reap the full benefits of their treatments . Some use it for detoxification combining the sauna with body wraps, body exfoliation and facials. While others with specific injuries i.e. back, neck, shoulder and leg problems use the sauna before their deep tissue or hot rock massage treatment so that the muscles are warm, relaxed and ready for the therapists to work their magic. Great for sports people who experience muscle stiffness and soreness, the sauna is great for getting rid of that lactic acid build up.

A note from Sheree
(owner of Beauty Revival Clinic)
I now have one of these Far infra red saunas at my home I love it so much and also because the sauna at the clinic is always been used and I never get a turn!! Having experienced lower back, shoulder and neck problems for years I find that regular use of the sauna has really helped with my pain levels and to loosen muscle tightness. I find that a massage session after a sauna treatment is twice as beneficial as not only are my muscles warm and relaxed my mind and body has also had time to wind down. Having a sauna at home means that at the end of a long day when everything (especially my Feet) is killing me my Far infra red sauna awaits me when I walk in the door. My kids are heavily involved in sport and also reap the benefits after a hard game of footy or netball to relieve sore, tired and stiff muscles. I also regularly visit a chiropractor and he always finds it a lot easier do my adjustments when my muscles are warm and relaxed. (Manipulations also don't hurt as much either).

Benefits from the Far infra red sauna are:
* It delivers the ultimate experience in relaxation and rejuvenation.
* Renews and replenishes the body and mind.
* Improves circulation as the heating of the muscles produces increased blood flow to level similar to that seen during exercise.
* Skin purification and detoxification. Excellent for healthy glowing skin.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage Therapy dates back to over 3000 years ago. Hot Stone Massage Therapy is also known as Hot Rock Massage Therapy and was used in ancient India and China, and more recently to the North American Indians living in the southwest states. Hot Stone massage therapy combines the benefits of hydrotherapy and thermalism (or thermotherapy – the use of heat applications) with the strokes of massage using Stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment. The heat of the massage stones warms the skin, which allows for the absorption of moisturizing and therapeutic oils, while simultaneously preparing the musculature of the body so the massage therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers. Stone therapy massage utilises both hot and cold stones incorporated with massage techniques in order to bring about a feeling of deep relaxation and wellbeing. The hot stones are usually volcanic rocks such as basalt and cold stones are marble or cool sedimentary stones. The stones are heated or chilled to varying temperatures and come in all shapes and sizes. The stones are placed on the client according to their needs and, when used with massage, can provide benefits that are not possible through normal massage.

Treatment Process
Stone therapy is a thermotherapy, using stones to provide both heat and cold and the combination of alternating temperatures can be very beneficial. The heated volcanic stones are used on key acupressure sites and the heat relaxes the muscles, allowing for a much deeper massage. Heated stones can also be placed on the body’s chakras, or energy points, working with the body’s natural energy to create balance both physically and mentally. As the stones come in different shapes and sizes and the therapist will select the stones according to your needs.

Cold stones are used to reduce and/or treat inflammation, to remove blood from a swollen area, and to rebalance the male and female energies in the body in order to restore the body to a state of harmony. Cold stones can also be used for detoxification purposes. Using hot and cold stones together can improve the functioning of the circulatory system and assist the body with its self-healing processes. When getting a stone therapy massage, it is not unusual for the client's body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate to rise and fall during the treatment. This is not harmful and is merely the result of the rapid exchange of oxygen and blood in the body.

The therapist's goal is to bring about deep relaxation in the client so that negativity is removed and the client feels an overall sense of wellbeing.
