Infrared Sauna Therapy in Calgary
If you’ve only tried infrared at a spa, you’re missing out on its full potential. At MYo Lab, our infrared sauna sessions are backed by clinical insight, integrated with your Chiropractic, Physio, or Massage care, and guided by evidence-based protocols.
Our sauna is fully equipped with both Infrared and Red Light Therapy, as well as chromotherapy, giving you a comprehensive, multi-modal wellness experience in every session. In each session, you can choose to combine Infrared (IR) & Red Light Therapy (RLT) at no additional cost or just use one of them.
Whether you’re recovering from a tough workout, managing chronic pain, or simply want to sleep better and stress less, our infrared sauna is your go-to wellness tool.
What is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Infrared saunas use far-infrared heat to deeply penetrate your muscles and tissues, promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and helping manage pain. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air (and leave you gasping for breath), infrared works at lower (but still substantial and highly effective) temperatures (~100–140°F, which can be simply modified by the user for their own preference, rather than being preset for everyone) for a more comfortable session.
What It Can Help With
Backed by research-informed protocols, infrared sauna therapy may support:
- Chronic pain relief (e.g., osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain)
- Muscle recovery and reduced soreness after workouts
- Improved circulation
- Skin rejuvenation through increased blood flow and detoxification
- Stress reduction by calming the nervous system
- Better sleep quality through lower cortisol levels and relaxation
- Immune system stimulation via mild hyperthermia effects
- Enhanced flexibility and muscle relaxation
- Overall wellness, when integrated with stretching or mindfulness practices
You don’t have to guess what works. We’ve summarized recommended usage protocols below from the latest studies to help guide your sessions

FAQs
Is this different from a regular sauna?
Yes! Infrared uses light to heat your body more gently and effectively. You’ll sweat—just not at the expense of your comfort.
Do you have couples' saunas?
Yes! Our private Sanctuary 2 sauna comfortably fits two people, making it a great option for couples or friends. You can add a second person to your session for just $20, or $15 if you have an active membership. Just let us know when you book or arrive!
What’s the difference between red light and infrared therapy?
Infrared Sauna Therapy uses far-infrared heat to warm the body directly, penetrating deep into muscles and tissues. It’s great for relaxing tight muscles, improving circulation, detoxification, and supporting nervous system recovery.
Red Light Therapy, on the other hand, uses low-level red and near-infrared light wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity, leading to improved cell repair, collagen production, and reduced inflammation. RLT is particularly effective for skin health, joint pain, wound healing, and hair regrowth.
While the mechanisms are different—light vs. heat—they complement each other beautifully. That’s why at MYo Lab, you can use both therapies in the same session for layered benefits that support your whole body.
Can I combine an infrared sauna and red light therapy?
Absolutely. Our sauna is fully equipped with both infrared heat and red light therapy, so you can enjoy the benefits of both during your 40-minute session, at no additional cost. It’s a great way to support both deep tissue recovery and cellular repair in one visit.
How often should I come in?
Generally, we recommend 3–5x per week for 6–8 weeks to target most conditions. More specifically, it completely depends on what you’re trying to treat:
- If your goal is a little skin improvement, detoxification, and relaxation, twice a week is fine.
- If this is part of your workout routine to burn calories, we recommend twice a week at least.
- For heavy detox, pain management, and deep relaxation, we recommend 3-5 times a week.
See our protocols above or the in-clinic handout for condition-specific guidelines.
Can I use it with other therapies?
Definitely. It pairs great with chiropractic care, massage, or physio for enhanced recovery.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just water and comfortable clothing. We’ll handle the rest.
What if I feel lightheaded?
Just step out or crack the sauna door. Your comfort and safety come first.
