Sauna Therapy

Simplest, yet most effective biohack there is

Exposing your body to heat is one of the simplest, yet most effective biohacks there is. Heat causes a release of heat shock proteins that are critical to helping damaged cells be removed and new healthy cells to grow. Heat also has a similar effect as exercise on your cardiovascular system and studies have shown it can drastically increase longevity.

questions on Sauna Therapy

Can I take my electronic devices into a sauna?

It’s generally not recommended to bring electronic devices into a sauna, as the high heat and humidity can damage them. The sauna is a place for relaxation and disconnection from technology.
What are the different types of sauna?

Traditional saunas use either dry heat or steam to heat the air around your body while infrared uses light waves to penetrate the body for heating and other physiological benefits. Your Recovery Specialist will explain the unique benefit of each.
How long should I stay in a sauna session?

Sauna sessions usually last between 15 to 30 minutes, but individual tolerance can vary. Listen to your body, and if you are new to saunas, start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration. Your Recovery Specialist will help guide you to the appropriate intensity, duration and frequency of sauna therapy.
Is sauna therapy safe for everyone?

No, sauna therapy is not safe for everyone. There are specific contraindications, and individuals with health conditions such as certain cardiovascular issues, pregnancy, or severe dehydration, should avoid saunas or use them with caution. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
What should I wear in a sauna?

Men can wear shorts with no T-Shirt. Women can wear a bathing suit, shorts, and sports bra. We suggest wearing whatever you are comfortable in. Clients are not allowed to use the sauna without adequate clothing. Changing rooms are available.

In the last four years, I have had four different injuries which Jared has treated me for he has fantastic. I must confess he is the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is a great listener and highly skilled at what he does. With many different injuries I’ve sustained he listens and tests carefully and comes up with a plan. He is incredibly observant, with my foot injury he noted my walking gate was off and helped me correct it so I can avoid future injury. Everything he has done has helped me recovery 100% and more.

Dave Andrews is Mr. Magic! He knows more than my orthopedist, I swear. This is the 3rd time I have needed him and the 3rd time he performed his magic to make things better. And I trusted my athletes to him and they loved his work to get them back on the court/mat! Thanks for being there, Dave.

NIPT is a very friendly team and my physical therapist there, Sky Pruitt, helped me get back to normal after both a bad shoulder with torn labral cartilage and then later a bad knee. He was encouraging knowledgeable and very competent and I never could have come through those episodes without his help. I highly recommend NIPT and Sky Pruitt to anyone in need of help with physical recovery of any kind.

Due to an automobile accident many years ago, I have regularly used the services of chiropractors and massage therapists, some good and some not so good, so I speak from experience. I have just started using the services of Suzette Barr, LMT, and I must say she is up there with the best! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a massage. I will continue to be her client as long as she is available.

I would highly recommend Greg for your Pt. This is my second with him. 1st my total knee and now my shoulder. He is very patient and listens.

I discovered Daryl close to a year ago and have definitely been a repeat customer ever since. His extensive knowledge of how the body works is apparent in his ability to quickly understand my bumbling description of ‘where it hurts’. He listens to exactly what I feel I need and makes additional suggestions for improvement. He may be soft spoken but he certainly delivers an incredibly effective massage!

My son, Ryan, sought therapy for overall weakness, abdominal and shoulder pain and the inability to walk. Since starting with NIPT, he has experienced a noticeable increase in strength. He loves working in the pool. Progress has been slow and Ryan is not fully walking yet, but Bradley, Justin, Stephanie and Mishelle have all been so unfailingly kind and patient through the process.

How fortunate it was for me that I was afraid to Kristoff at NIPT I’ve had chronic low back pain for decades and after a recent failed surgery that made it worse and hurt my mobility quite a lot. Kristoff helped me in 15 sessions more than I ever thought possible. I’ve been other physical therapist over the years, but Kristoffs knowledge and understanding of my muscular skills situation was impressive. Now I’m stronger and more mobile, I’m in far less pain and have a realistic exercise path laid out for me that will bring me even better results. Without that providential referral to Kristoff, there is no way I would be where I am. He is a solid professional pleasure to work with, and I recommend him with high praise.
