Sauna Waiver

 
  • SAFETY INFORMATION:

    1. The use of drugs, medication or alcohol prior to or during the ful spectrum infrared sauna session may lead to dizziness or unconsciousness. Clients using any medications must consult a physician or pharmacist prior to the use of the sauna.
    2. Please consult your physician fi you are in doubt of your ability to use the full spectrum infrared sauna for health reasons.
    3. No one under the age of 18 is permitted in the full spectrum infrared sauna.
    4. Discontinue the use of the sauna fi you feel light-headed, dizzy, or heat exhausted.
    5. Sauna sessions should be limited to no more than 45 minutes and temperatures must stay below 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
    6. Plastic water bottles are not permitted in the sauna.
    7. Pregnant women should not use infrared saunas. Wait to use the infrared sauna until cleared at the last postpartum visit by a physician.

    It is always important to maintain proper hydration levels during far infrared therapy. Dehydration will increase carbohydrate utilization and cause less fat to be burned for energy. We highly recommend drinking a minimum of 8 oz. of water prior to entering the sauna and a minimum of 8 oz. of water after sauna use.

    Medical Contraindications:

    Please read the following medical conditions carefully. fI you have any of these conditions, you are not permitted to use the sauna until you provide a written medical clearance from your physician.
    1. Cardiovascular Issues (including hypertension/hypotension, congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation)
    2. Hemophilia or other bleeding disorders 3. Recent joint injury (within 48 hours)
    3. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, and kidney disease
    4. Conditions affecting the skin (including dermatitis, severe sunburns, and open wounds) 6. Fever, systemic infection, or severe acute illnesses
    5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding
    6. Sensitivity to heat or heat-related disorders
    7. Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated with Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors, and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating.
    8. Joint Injury - Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
    9. Implants - Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system.
    10. Pacemakers / Defibrillators - The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers.

    Please read the following list of medications carefully. If you are taking any of these, you must provide a written medical clearance from your physician before using the infrared sauna.
    1. Diuretics:Can lead to dehydration.
    2. Antihypertensives:May cause dizziness or fainting.
    3. Beta-Blockers:Can impair temperature regulation and heart rate response. 4. Sedatives:Can affect awareness and reaction to heat.
    4. Stimulants: Can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
    5. Anticholinergics:Can decrease sweating, leading to overheating.
    6. Hormone Replacement Therapy:Can increase the risk of heat-related side effects.
    7. Antidepressants:Especially SSRIs, can affect thermoregulation.
    8. Medications for Chronic Illnesses:Such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis, which can have side effects that make heat exposure risky.

    Potential Risks and Side Effects:

  • Dehydration: Prolonged use may lead to dehydration.
  • Overheating:Overuse may cause overheating, leading to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
  • Dizziness and Nausea:Some individuals may experience dizziness, nausea, or fainting.
