Infrared Sauna
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Infrared sauna uses light wavelengths to heat your body directly — penetrating deeper into muscle and connective tissue than a traditional sauna. The result is accelerated recovery, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and a level of full-body relaxation that complements our deep tissue work perfectly.
At MMT we use infrared sauna as a therapeutic tool, not just a wellness accessory. Whether you're booking a standalone session to unwind, or combining it with a massage to maximise your recovery — the heat primes your tissue for treatment and extends the benefits long after you leave the clinic.
Sessions available at our Richmond location. Pair with any massage treatment for the ultimate recovery protocol.
What Our Clients Say
“I've been to many practitioners and Vanessa is now my only go to.”
Cathy F.
Google Review, Ferntree Gully
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”

“Highly rate these guys; been seeing Darcy for some months now and the remedial work, along with the priceless strength and conditioning exercises he gives, fits in perfectly with the professionally coached triathlon training sessions I have.”

“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”

“I left feeling so much better after my first visit. The therapy session was designed around me and it was amazing to feel the therapist working on my needs. Would not hesitate in recommending Melbourne Muscular Therapies to anyone. A professional business that is clean, presentable and with friendly staff.”

Common Questions
FAQ's
Sessions are typically 30–45 minutes. We recommend starting at 30 minutes if you're new to infrared sauna, then building to longer sessions as your body adapts. Hydrate well before and after.
Traditional saunas heat the air around you to very high temperatures. Infrared saunas use light wavelengths to heat your body directly at a lower ambient temperature — making them more comfortable to sit in for longer while delivering deeper tissue penetration.
Yes — and we recommend it. Using the sauna before your massage loosens tissue and increases blood flow, allowing your practitioner to work more effectively. Using it after a session accelerates the flushing of metabolic waste and deepens the relaxation response.
Regular infrared sauna use supports muscle recovery, reduces inflammation and joint pain, improves circulation, promotes deep relaxation, assists with detoxification through sweat, and can improve sleep quality. It pairs exceptionally well with our deep tissue treatment protocols.
Infrared sauna is not recommended if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or have been advised by your doctor to avoid heat exposure. If you have any medical conditions, consult your GP before booking.
