Infrared Sauna Therapy for Detoxification and Deep Relaxation
At Akasha Integrative Health, we invite you to experience the therapeutic power of our state-of-the-art infrared saunas. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas gently warm your body from within, promoting deep cellular detoxification, improved circulation, and total relaxation.
Located in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Akasha’s private sauna rooms are designed to provide comfort, tranquillity, and a peaceful retreat from daily stress.
How Infrared Sauna Therapy Works
Infrared saunas use light waves to penetrate the skin and heat the body directly, without raising the surrounding air temperature to extreme levels. This creates a comfortable and effective form of heat therapy that increases the body’s core temperature, encouraging sweating and detoxification at a deeper level.
Our Found + Space cedar-wood infrared saunas use the latest full-spectrum infrared technology, providing near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. Each wavelength supports different aspects of wellness, including circulation, tissue repair, metabolism, and relaxation.

Infrared Sauna vs Traditional Sauna
While both offer valuable health benefits, infrared saunas operate differently
from traditional steam or dry saunas.
| Aspect | Infrared Sauna | Traditional Sauna |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Method | Uses infrared light to heat the body directly | Heats the air, warming the body indirectly |
| Temperature | Operates between 50°C–70°C | Operates between 65°C–90°C |
| Experience | Gentle, dry heat for deeper penetration | Intense, often humid heat |
| Comfort Level | Easier to tolerate for longer sessions | Can feel overwhelming for some people |
| Primary Benefit | Detoxification, improved circulation, relaxation | Sweating, respiratory and muscle relaxation |
Infrared saunas provide the same benefits as traditional saunas but at lower
temperatures, making them ideal for clients who prefer a gentler, more
meditative experience.

What to Expect During Your Session
Your chiropractic journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your health background, movement habits, and areas of concern.
Your chiropractor will then conduct physical and postural assessments to determine where restrictions or misalignments are present.
Treatment may include:
- Manual spinal and joint adjustments
- Muscle release and soft tissue therapy
- Dry needling or kinesiotaping, where appropriate
- Tailored mobility and strengthening exercises
Each session is designed to relieve discomfort while promoting long-term structural balance. Most clients notice improved mobility, reduced pain, and a greater sense of ease after just a few visits.
Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care
Consistent chiropractic care can deliver significant benefits that extend beyond pain relief.
When the spine and nervous system function optimally, the body becomes more efficient, coordinated, and resilient.
Key benefits include:
- Improved posture and spinal alignment
- Reduced pain and muscular tension
- Enhanced mobility and flexibility
- Faster recovery from injury
- Better balance and coordination
- Improved sleep and energy levels
These benefits are further amplified when combined with other treatments available at Akasha, such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and kinesiology
