Is Physiotherm Far Infrared Therapy safe?
Absolutely! Infrared light energy is widely acknowledged as safe and beneficial to the body. Certain frequencies of Far Infrared are actually a natural by product from our own cells and are emitted by our own body. Infrared is therefore not potentially harmful like Ultra Violet, X Rays or Microwaves. Infrared energy is literally everywhere and an essential ingredient for life. Infrared light energy has been researched and used in medical practices for over a hundred years. Many maternity wards in hospitals use infrared lamps to warm newborn babies. Specialists in burns often use infrared to enhance the healing processes of the skin and sports medicine has long accepted and used Infrared to promote healing of sprains and strains. Over the last 20 years much wider applications of infrared energy have been investigated and throughout this time it has been shown to be benign and beneficial to the human body.
