Infrared Sauna
The experience of using an Infrared Sauna is different to a traditional sauna, this is because Infrared light is used to heat your body from the inside, meaning the air temperature doesn’t change. Some of the benefits of infrared saunas include:
- Reducing inflammation, stiffness and soreness by increasing blood circulation
- Relaxing muscles with deep penetrating infrared heat
- Removal of toxins and metabolic waste products
- Faster muscle recovery
- Chronic Pain benefits
The Infrared Sauna works well in conjunction with your Osteopathic treatment or Physiotherapy treatment.

FAQs
Yes. Osteopaths are registered healthcare practitioners and if you pay for extras on your health fund, Osteo should be covered. Check with your health fund before your appointment to confirm if you’re covered.
Physiotherapy and Osteopathy are closely related. Both are AHPRA accredited Allied Health practitioners and both study for at least 3 years to get their qualifications. The conditions we treat are similar too. However, there is a difference in the approach we take to helping you heal and recover. A Physiotherapist will focus on movement and function, while an Osteopath will focus on the entire musculoskeletal system as a whole. Here at ALPHA, we work as a team to get the best outcomes we can for you.
