Pre-Game + Pre-Workout

Pre-game and pre-workout Relax Sauna sessions are designed to prepare the body for movement, power output, and flexibility. Short, controlled sessions gently raise core temperature, increase blood flow, and improve oxygen delivery to working muscle tissue. Athletes often use Relax Sauna immediately before stretching, mobility work, batting practice, pitching warm-ups, or strength training to loosen connective tissues and reduce injury risk before intense activity.

Pro Sports Protocols

Post Game + Post Workout

Post-game and post-workout Relax Sauna sessions focus on recovery, circulation support, and inflammation management. Longer sessions promote deep perspiration to assist with metabolic waste removal while encouraging parasympathetic nervous system activation. Many athletes integrate Relax Sauna after ice baths or contrast therapy to help restore circulation, support muscle recovery, and improve overall sleep quality during heavy training cycles.

  • 20–30 minute sessions
  • Heavy perspiration
  • Place towel on chair and wrap body in towel
  • Rapidly decreases muscle inflammation
  • Detoxes metabolic wastes
  • Utilize Relax Sauna after ice baths to increase core temp and improve circulation
  • Relax Sauna sessions 3–4 times a week will improve sleep cycles
