Infrared Sauna in Safety Harbor

Infrared Sauna

Some days leave you feeling physically drained. Other days leave your mind running a mile a minute. Whether it comes from work, exercise, daily responsibilities, or simply trying to keep up with a busy schedule, it is easy to feel like your body never gets a chance to fully recover. An infrared sauna session offers a simple way to slow down, relax, and give yourself dedicated time to recharge.

At Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center, we are proud to offer our Sunlighten® Mpulse Infrared Sauna as part of our commitment to helping clients feel their best. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared technology gently warms the body from within, creating a soothing experience that supports relaxation, recovery, and overall wellness. Many clients are surprised by how comfortable the experience feels while still producing a deep, satisfying sweat.

Why More People Are Choosing Infrared Saunas

Saunas have been used for generations as a way to relax and support wellness, but infrared technology has changed the experience in a way many people find more enjoyable. Instead of relying on extremely hot air, infrared saunas use light waves to warm the body directly. This creates a different experience than a traditional sauna. Because the body is being heated directly, clients can enjoy a deep sweat at a lower and more comfortable temperature. Infrared sauna benefits include:

  • A soothing and relaxing heat experience
  • Support for stress relief
  • Deep sweating at lower temperatures
  • A comfortable environment for longer sessions
  • Muscle recovery support
  • A chance to unplug and recharge

Our Sunlighten® Mpulse sauna operates within a temperature range of approximately 100°F to 150°F, while traditional saunas often reach temperatures between 150°F and 210°F. For many people, that difference makes infrared sessions feel much more comfortable and approachable.

Benefits That Go Beyond Relaxation

The first thing most clients notice is how relaxed they feel during and after their session. The warmth creates an environment that encourages the body to slow down and unwind, making it easier to let go of tension that has built up throughout the day. Many clients incorporate infrared sauna sessions into their wellness routines because they enjoy benefits such as:

  • Stress relief
  • Muscle recovery support
  • Deep relaxation
  • Improved comfort after physical activity
  • A calming mental reset
  • Detoxification through sweating
  • A soothing wellness experience

One of the reasons infrared saunas continue to grow in popularity is that they support both physical and mental well-being. Clients often leave feeling refreshed, lighter, and more relaxed than when they arrived.

  • Individuals managing everyday stress
  • People who enjoy wellness-focused services
  • Those seeking a relaxing self-care experience
  • Clients looking for a comfortable alternative to traditional saunas
  • Individuals who want dedicated time to disconnect and recharge

What To Expect During Your Session

Trying an infrared sauna for the first time can feel a little different if you are only familiar with traditional saunas. Many first-time clients expect intense heat, but they are often surprised by how gentle and comfortable the experience feels. Our Sunlighten® Mpulse sauna uses advanced infrared light technology to warm the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air. The result is a soothing warmth that gradually encourages the body to sweat while remaining comfortable throughout the session. During your visit, you can expect:

  • A clean, relaxing environment
  • Comfortable heat ranging from approximately 100°F to 150°F
  • A gradual warming sensation
  • Deep, detoxifying sweat
  • A peaceful setting designed for relaxation

Many clients use their session as an opportunity to step away from distractions, quiet their minds, and focus on their own well-being for a little while.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, while infrared saunas use light waves to warm the body directly. This creates a deep sweat at a lower temperature, making the experience more comfortable for many people.

Is infrared light safe?

Yes. Infrared light is a natural part of the light spectrum and is the same type of warming energy you feel from sunlight or a campfire. It is designed to provide gentle, therapeutic warmth without overheating the body.

How hot does the infrared sauna get?

Our Sunlighten® Mpulse sauna typically operates between 100°F and 150°F. This is generally lower than traditional saunas, which often reach temperatures above 150°F.

Can an infrared sauna help me relax?

Many clients use infrared sauna sessions specifically for relaxation. The soothing warmth and quiet environment create an opportunity to slow down and release tension from the day.

Is an infrared sauna good after exercise?

Many active individuals enjoy infrared sauna sessions as part of their recovery routine. The gentle heat can feel especially comforting after physical activity.

How often should I use an infrared sauna?

That depends on your personal wellness goals and preferences. Some clients visit regularly as part of their routine, while others schedule sessions whenever they feel they need time to relax and recharge.

Can I combine an infrared sauna session with other services?

Yes. Many clients choose to pair their sauna visit with one of our massage services to create an even more relaxing wellness experience.

Testimonials

What They Say

Dr. John Viverito

I have been going to Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for over 25 years. I started therapeutic massage because of chronic low back pain which started when I was a teenager. Heather is my primary therapist and her approach has given me great relief. The therapists are professional and effective!

I am a Pediatrician and have referred families to the Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center a number of times and received only positive feedback. They all received relief.

The atmosphere at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage is professional, peaceful, and quiet. I highly recommend Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage.

Santis Squitiro

I am so grateful that my brother recommended that I come to see you 8 years ago!   You never fail to have me feeling better within the hour on your table.  I had been living with back pain since I was 27 years old, and now with monthly massage, I have been pain free for the last 8 years.  What a great find you are!  Most things that are good for you are usually things you don’t want to do!  Not true with your treatment!  I  look forward to coming every month and it feels great! 

Marliss Jones

Thanks for over fifteen years of providing excellent massage therapy for myself, family, and friends that I have recommended.  The office is very relaxing and sets the mood for a wonderful massage.  You are always professional and welcoming to your clients.  People have tried to offer other therapists in the area over the years, but the comfort and care given by Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center keep the clients returning week after week.  Thanks for helping to keep me moving, out of pain, and relaxed.

Laurel Foster

This business definitely deserves the recognition of #Businessoftheyear!! I’ve been going here for years. I love the friendly staff, especially Peggy at the desk and my massage therapist Megan! My favorite thing about them is that you get the whole hour. And the massage is out of this world! I also love that they respect your desire to either talk or not talk.  The location is perfect too. Right on downtown Main Street so I can shop, walk or grab a bite to eat or drink before or after my massage. Sometimes I make an afternoon of it. I highly recommend Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center!

Sandie Guthrie

I took advantage of a 90 min special and it was one of the best days of my life! Just walking into the front office was an intimate and relaxing experience. The colors, decor, mood, and reception staff made me feel so welcome! Melissa took extreme care to address my ailments, but also provided such helpful info to help me prevent further injury to my body in my daily routine. I’ve had massages for years, this was definitely one of my all-time most relaxing and beneficial. Thank you, thank you.

Tina Doland

Absolutely amazing! So friendly and welcoming! The atmosphere is so calming and relaxing, and everyone is genuine and happy to see you! Felicia is my therapist; she does IASTM with Hawkgrip therapy tools!!! After our first session, I had a major increase in my mobility. She worked out knots and tight spots I didn’t realize I had. Felicia is outstanding and you’ll get the best massage of your life. There are no words to express other than AMAZING!!! I didn’t think it was possible to feel this good and so many benefits for my body.  I get 90 minutes and there’s no turning back!!!

Rebecca Pikos

I LOVE this place!! I have seen various massage therapists at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center, and they are all equally amazing in their own unique way. Michael has great firm pressure for deep tissue massages, and he has a knack for finding all the problem spots! Felicia is so knowledgeable about variable therapeutic techniques and will have your problem areas feeling much better when you leave. The other therapists are equally as good, professional, and talented. As a dentist, I have been getting massages for years, so I know a good massage when I get one! Their prices are VERY reasonable, their front desk is friendly, and the office is always clean. I would highly recommend them.

Karen Stewart

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality

I have been a client at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage #BusinessoftheYear for several years now. The facility is warm and welcoming and very clean. The staff is also warm and welcoming and very professional. I usually purchase a package which is very reasonable. I schedule my massages with Brenda who is very thorough and relaxing. I have also never had to wait and we finish right on time so scheduling is easy. I thoroughly enjoy my massage time and always look forward to the next visit.

Jacqui McCurdy

Bliss! Peace-filled relaxing ME time! My stress filled days are often in need of some ‘release’. I can TOTALLY understand why Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center received the #Business of the Year award! I have been a customer for over 15 years and have found this business to be consistent in all aspects. Consistently excellent therapists who strive for MY best experience. Consistently excellent in cleanliness and great relaxing atmosphere which you feel immediately upon entering the office. It literally feels like a calm wave of peace washing over you. Thank you for being there when I needed my ‘knots’ knocked out! You have a customer for life!

Heidi Blaine

I have been going to the Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for 8 years. The experienced massage therapists are the best I’ve found not only for relaxation but for specific needs due to an injury, and pain from many sources. I buy the 60-minute packages regularly and try to go once a month or more. It is my husband’s “go-to” gift for me for any occasion. The new location is relaxing clean and safe. If you haven’t gone you owe it to yourself to book an appointment today. Their computerized system of booking an appointment reminding you of your appointment and the ability to easily make changes is so convenient. So what are you waiting for, ask Santa for this gift this year.

Julie Smith

I have had two sessions here and there are not enough words to convey how amazing they are!!! The attention to detail is impeccable!! I had a session with Mark and another with Melissa and both were outstanding! I have a medical condition and Melissa actually took the time to research it before my massage and Mark was awesome as well. The young lady at the front desk is wonderful! So friendly and helpful. I had a late appointment and they left a glass of water with a sticky note with my name on it! Heather answered my email and all of my questions well after 8 pm and still responded early in the morning to confirm my appointment. Honestly, they take customer service to a whole new level I love this establishment and I will be telling my friends! If you want a massage these folks are the real deal!

Lisa Kerosky

I’m so happy and thankful that my Orthopedic doctor recommended massage therapy and Heather for my neck injury from work. Heather is truly the best and has taken such good care of me and all my neck and shoulders issues. I highly recommend this place and the atmosphere is very welcoming, relaxing, and peaceful. Five stars!

Amy Callaghan

I’ve been a client of Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for going on 10 years. Heather, the owner, is always gracious and concerned with providing the utmost quality care. She hires THE best therapists in the Bay Area. Many have been with her for years which provides consistency and trust for us clients. Each one specializes in their areas and will accommodate any need. I am ever so grateful to know that they will work me in anytime I need it.

Claire Ullery

It starts at the beginning while calling to make an appointment and speaking to the delightful, charming, and helpful assistant Peggy. She’s happy to help, giving descriptions of each therapist to help a new client decide on the best fit for them. The office is serene even while busy, offering naturally infused water or herbal teas. The facility smells clean and fresh, and it will put you at ease immediately. Each therapist has their own unique style, of course, but each is highly educated, experienced, and skilled. You’re in excellent care no matter who you choose! When I am there I am able to completely tune out the world, my problems, and have my physical discomforts addressed so that when going back into the world I feel totally refreshed and renewed. I am an LMT myself and I’ve tried many different therapists, but SHTMC is my #BusinessoftheYear as it is the one place that I ALWAYS return to. AND, when I’m not able to accommodate my personal clients, I refer to them there. Give them a try, you’ll be so happy!
