Sauna After a Workout?

After an intense workout, recovery is just as important as the effort itself. The way your body regenerates influences your muscle development, performance progress, and risk of injury. One of the most effective yet often underestimated tools for recovery is the sauna. Heat therapy has been used for centuries to aid physical and mental renewal. But when it comes to post-workout recovery, the question arises: which type of sauna is better infrared or Finnish? In this article, we’ll show you how a simple 20–30 minute sauna session can speed up muscle recovery and what to consider when choosing the right type for your needs.

Why Use a Sauna After Exercise?

When you exercise, microtears occur in your muscles, and lactic acid builds up. The heat in a sauna causes blood vessels to expand, improves circulation, and accelerates the removal of waste products. This leads to faster muscle repair, reduced soreness, and more efficient post-exercise recovery.

Additionally, heat helps relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and may even help prevent future injuries. It’s not just a moment of relaxation, it’s a science-backed part of performance enhancement.

Infrared or Finnish Sauna?

  • Infrared Sauna: Uses infrared waves to deeply penetrate tissues and directly heat muscles, making it ideal for post-workout recovery. Its lower operating temperature means it can be used right after training, without overloading the body.
  • Finnish Sauna: Offers a more intense heat and promotes deep sweating and detoxification. It’s better suited for later in the day after your body has calmed down. Great for stress relief and complete physical and mental reset.

The best approach? Combine both. At iSauna, we offer multi-therapy solutions, so you can choose what your body needs day by day all in one premium sauna space.
