Heat that works from the inside out. Infrared sessions for recovery, stress, and the kind of sweat a Florida afternoon never quite delivers.
Stress that never powers down. Muscles that stay tight no matter how much you stretch. Sleep that runs shallow. A lot of modern problems trace back to a nervous system that never gets a true off switch.
Infrared sauna treatment at InnerWorks: Performance & Wellness is a 10 to 30 minute session of deep, light-driven heat therapy. Unlike a traditional sauna that scorches the air around you, infrared wavelengths heat the body directly, producing a heavy sweat at temperatures you can actually sit in. Circulation rises like light cardio, muscles release, and the parasympathetic system finally gets the floor.
The cabin runs between 145 and 170 degrees, sessions are structured to your experience, and the cold plunge waits next door if you want the full swing. Book a session and bring water.
Infrared sauna therapy uses infrared light waves to heat the body directly instead of heating the surrounding air like a traditional sauna. The result is deeper tissue penetration, stronger circulation, and an efficient sweat at lower felt temperatures, supporting muscle recovery, detoxification pathways, stress regulation, and cardiovascular conditioning in sessions of 10 to 30 minutes.
Direct heating is the whole trick. Infrared energy passes into tissue and stimulates the mitochondria, the same cellular engines targeted by red light therapy, while raising core temperature enough to drive heart rate and blood flow upward the way easy cardio does. That is why a sauna session can leave you feeling worked out and wound down at the same time.
The research angle is bigger than relaxation. Long-running Finnish population studies have associated frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular risk and a reduced rate of cognitive decline, with proposed mechanisms including improved circulation, lower inflammation, and heat shock protein activation. We treat those findings as promising context, not promises.
Dose scales with experience: beginners sit 10 to 15 minutes, intermediates 15 to 25, and seasoned users up to 30. Our team helps you find the temperature and duration that fit your goal, whether that is recovery, longevity habits, or simply one hour a week that belongs to you.
Heat is one of the oldest therapies on record. These are the problems our patients most often bring to it.
Schedule Your SessionHeat exposure flips the body toward its parasympathetic, rest-and-repair state and lowers cortisol. Patients carrying long-term stress loads use scheduled sauna time as a physiological circuit breaker, often alongside our broader plan for unrelenting daily stress.
Chronic Stress IconThe post-sauna cooldown mimics the natural temperature drop that cues sleep. Evening sessions help many patients fall asleep faster and stay down longer, a practical lever for anyone working through a persistent sleep problem.
Poor Sleep IconHeat raises blood flow to muscles and joints, easing stiffness and shortening the sore window after training.
Muscle Soreness & Stiffness IconMany patients report clearer thinking and better mood after regular sessions, consistent with improved cerebral circulation and lower systemic inflammation.
Low Mood & Mental Fog IconSweating plus increased skin circulation supports tone, texture, and collagen production over time.
Skin Health IconGym saunas exist. Here is why patients drive past them to use ours.
Traditional saunas heat air to near 200 degrees and let your skin negotiate. Infrared heats tissue directly, producing a deeper sweat at 145 to 170 degrees, which means longer, more comfortable sessions and a dose you can actually repeat 3 to 5 times a week. Heat therapy only works if you keep showing up to it.
Recovery, stress, longevity, and contrast sequencing each call for different times and temperatures. We set yours deliberately and adjust as your tolerance builds, instead of handing you a hot box and a guess.
Pairing sauna heat with cold immersion is the most requested combination in the lab, and the layout makes the rounds effortless.
Cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure issues, and pregnancy all change the plan. We ask first.
InnerWorks treats sauna time as structured heat therapy inside a physician-led clinic, not an amenity at the end of a gym hallway. Temperatures are controlled, sessions are guided, and your heat work is coordinated with everything else in your plan, from IVs to labs. The sauna is also one corner of a larger room; the recovery lab's combined heat and cold protocols are where most patients end up. Book a session and start with fifteen quiet minutes.
Heat rarely works alone here. From cold plunges to red light to compression, the recovery lab's combined heat and cold protocols turn a good habit into a complete system.

Our cabin lives at 2225 A1A S # B4, St. Augustine, FL 32080, minutes from Anastasia State Park on the A1A South corridor. Counterintuitive as it sounds in a subtropical town, the humid Florida climate rarely produces the deep, deliberate sweat of a controlled infrared session; ask any local who has tried both.

Our infrared sauna operates between 145°F and 170°F. Infrared heats the body directly rather than the air, so you get a deep, effective sweat at temperatures comfortable enough for longer sessions.
Beginners do well at 10 to 15 minutes, intermediate users at 15 to 25, and advanced users up to 30. Consistency matters more than pushing extreme durations.
Different tools. Traditional saunas heat the air to higher temperatures; infrared penetrates tissue directly at lower felt heat. Most patients find infrared sessions easier to tolerate and repeat, which is what produces results.
Emerging research has associated frequent sauna use with a lower risk of cognitive decline, possibly through better blood flow, lower inflammation, and heat shock protein activation. It is promising support for brain health, not a treatment for any neurological disease.
Both have a case. Before training, heat warms muscles and improves flexibility. After training, it boosts recovery and eases soreness. Most of our patients prefer post-workout sessions.
Talk with a provider first if you have a cardiovascular condition, uncontrolled blood pressure, or are pregnant. We screen before your first session and tailor temperature and duration when needed.
