A deep infrared heat therapy treatment used by firemen to detoxify themselves of harmful chemicals in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York is now being used in UK public sector facilities and leisure centres across the country.

The sauna-style Infrared therapy cabin uses gentle but highly effective infrared deep heat to warm the whole body at a comfortable 30-35C, helping to detoxify, ease aches and pains, relax and reduce the impact of stress. Britain’s public sector, where problems such as back pain and stress related conditions often lead to widespread absenteeism, is expected to benefit substantially from the simple installation of MagMed’s IR therapy systems. Units are already being used by the emergency services and in Local Authority gyms;

“Our Physiotherm IR cabin has been installed next to a small gym we have here within the station… All round this is a great piece of kit that I would recommend without reservation to any local authority or government department wishing to invest in its staff’s long term health and wellbeing.” - Chris Porter, Inspector, Cambridgeshire Police

The results of a scientific study into the effects of Physiotherm infrared treatments suggested it provided a number of benefits to users including;
- Physiotherm sessions were comparable to moderate endurance training
- A measurable drop in diastolic blood pressure
- Pain-alleviating effects

‘’ I had been using a conventional sauna in my local Gym but the intense heat was very uncomfortable and always left me feeling drained afterwards. I have discovered that the instant adjustability of the Physiotherm IR Sauna means that you can always stay within your comfort zone and still get the full benefit of a gentle but penetrating heat that quickly soothes away aches and pains. ‘’ - Mrs M Perry, Occupational Therapist

Operationally they could not be easier – installation takes only a couple of hours and requires only a standard socket. Units are totally self contained with no plumbing or ventilation requirements so they can be placed literally anywhere, from changing rooms to gyms and relaxation areas. Highly energy efficient, for a very low carbon footprint and with only a 5 minute warm up time, there is no energy or staff time wasted. Simple wipe down surfaces that can be kept hygienically clean by multiple users also ensure easy maintenance.
MagMed’s range starts from £2,715 +VAT and can also be leased from only £99 +VAT/month. With such an instant return on investment from such a low investment improving the health, wellbeing and productivity of public sector workers has never been so simple. Bespoke build IR Therapy Rooms can also be designed and installed for a more substantial solution, as has been undertaken recently for Center Parcs Aqua Sana Spa in Cumbria among other locations across the UK. Within local authority leisure centres the opportunity is for token operating the systems to accurately control usage and simplify charges for allotting VAT to heat treatments.
Since 2004, MagMed have been corporate sponsors of Back Care the charity for healthier backs, members of the Fitness Industry Association and Spa Business Association and have installed Physiotherm infrared therapy units at hundreds of sites across the UK. Their attention to customer service has helped them to develop a wide client list that includes both public and private sector facilities and individuals, such as athletes, who use infrared therapy to help recover from tough training programmes.
