Heating It Up: Infrared Sauna Showdown

Infrared sauna hits deep. It’s not just warmth on the skin. It’s gentle heat that seeps into muscle, boosting circulation and easing tension.

• The NOW Massage uses infrared panels to heat the spa room. It’s ideal for a quick sweat.
• Moon Lake Spa’s private sauna suite takes it a step further: you control the temperature, session length and layering of towels for the perfect pre-massage prep.

Why it matters: warmed tissue responds better to massage. You’ll feel hands glide more smoothly—and enhancements like cupping therapy become more effective when muscles are primed.
