Professional
massage table size - an absolute must have for home or spa use. Enjoy all the
benefits of far infrared heat during a relaxing therapeutic massage. Our flexible
pads were designed to form fit your body based on your personal health needs.
Our healing pads are unique because they provide temporary relief from pain
associated with muscle spasm and inflammation caused by strain and tension.
Size: 25"
x 76"
Therasage Healing
Pad features far-infrared heat, negative ions and natural jade. When the jade
is heated, it emits far-infrared heat that penetrates deep into your body as
much as 2 to 3 inches below the skin.
What
is far infrared heat?
Far-infrared
waves are a safe form of light energy that is thermal. In other words, we experience
infrared waves every day in the form of heat like sunlight, a fire or a warm
sidewalk. Far-infrared waves heat objects by direct light conversion – a process
that directly warms the object, not the surrounding air. It’s the heat you feel
penetrate your skin when you stand in the sun - and miss when you walk into
the shade. Far-infrared heat (FIR) is also referred to as radiant heat, infrared
heat or infrared energy.
Far-infrared
heat has been widely used in the healthcare industry; in fact, many neonatal
care units are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep babies warm.
Far Infrared Heat is the invisible part of the Sun’s spectrum. It has nothing
to do with the ultraviolet light which can damage your skin. FIR waves are capable
of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body's
surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.
Deep Penetrating
Heat
The human body
can easily absorb far-infrared heat because of its deep penetrating ability.
Studies have shown that far infrared waves can actually penetrate up to 2-3
inches deep into muscular tissue and ligaments. When far infrared heat penetrates
through the skin into muscular tissue and ligaments, it transforms from light
energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues
cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate which improves blood circulation
and promotes healing and wellness.

How does it
work?
Our bodies radiate
far infrared energy through the skin at 3 to 50 microns, with most output at
9.4 microns.. Therasage products emit between 4-14 microns which matches so
closely to the human body's radiant energy that our bodies take in close to
93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin. Therefore, FIR rays have the
ability to penetrate deeply (up to 3) and permeate thoroughly into the skin.
What are the
benefits of far-infrared heat?
Pain Relief
Far-infrared
heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen
to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus
relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from
an injury.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Far Infrared
heat reduces stress by loosening the muscles and relaxing the body. The gentle
warmth gives you an overall massaging effect, soothing jagged nerves and knotted
muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.
Improves Blood
Circulation
Far-infrared
heat is absorbed by cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance".
Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better
blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism. The increased blood circulation,
but not blood pressure, stimulates the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand
accommodating the increased blood flow.
Removes Harmful
Toxins
When toxins are
present, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body's
immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult to fight disease. When
far-infrared heat is applied, the large water molecules in our bodies that contain
toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury and chlorine
vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are
then purged from the body through the skin, during perspiration.
Improves Immune
System
The infrared
heat raises your inner body temperature, inducing an “artificial fever”. Fever
is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response,
as seen in the case of infection. This enhanced immune system, combined with
improved elimination of toxins and wastes, increases your overall health and
resistance to disease.
Removes Toxins
Far Infrared
Heat increases blood circulation and the lymphatic flow stimulating the sweat
glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify
the body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy
metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium,
sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
Negative
Ions
Therasage Healing
Pad features negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible
molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments; think of mountains,
waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach to our bloodstream, negative ion therapy
is believed to produce biochemical reactions helping to relieve stress (calming),
alleviate depression, boost our daytime energy and increase defense against
infection.
