Infrared Heat Therapy for Pain Relief (Copy)

Written By Jesse in Ensenada

I am excited to add an new therapeutic tool to my therapeutic massage services - infrared heat for pain relief.  I upgraded my massage table warmer and invested in an infrared warmer that can also be used as a full body wrap.

Yes, I know it’s HOT already, but I used it on several clients and no one asked to have it turned off because . . . Far-infrared heat is radiant heat. This is the same type of heat you feel from the sun on a warm, sunny day. It is not visible and it is not ultraviolet. Unlike a traditional saunas or table warmers which heat the body with air or steam, far-infrared sauna heats from the inside out, not the outside in. Far-infrared heat raises the core body temperature faster than either traditional sauna or exercise penetrates deeper (1” to 2 ½”) into the body and it also produces a deeper sweat (2-3 times greater).

Because of the wavelength of the infrared, it pulls toxins out of the cells. Circulation is improved because it expands and dilates the peripheral blood vessels. As a result, it delivers oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. There is an abundance of research available on the use of far-infrared therapy to successfully treat the following conditions:

Infrared Heat Therapy Helps:

  • Sciatica
  • Backaches
  • Arthritis
  • Nervous tension
  • Diabetes
  • Varicose veins
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Bursitis
  • Rheumatism
  • Strained muscles
  • Fatigue
  • Stretch marks
  • Menstrual cramps

I plan to use infrared heat in two ways: Therapeutic Massage Warmer and Therapeutic wrap. 

 

Therapeutic Massage Warmer: 

I am now offering infrared heat to my therapeutic clients during their sessions at NO extra charge as a table warmer (you will absorb the heat from below).  Ask me about it when you book your cosult and appointment.

 

Therapeutic and Weightloss Wrap:

In October, I will begin offer a wrap service which the heat is wrapped completely around your body for 20, 40 or 60 minutes.   The circulation, cellulite, and therapeutic benefits are even more profound. 

Please check back for a blog on weightloss benefits, and the wrap service. 

 

Be Well, Jesse

Jesse in Ensenada

In 2011, I traded the burnout of consulting for the pace of Baja, Mexico. What began as a personal search for healing in Ensenada evolved into a lifestyle to share the best of this region with travelers.

Over the last 15 years, I haven’t just lived in Baja; I’ve explored many of it's adventures, mastered its logistics, and built a community-focused business to help travelers get the info and connection for safe exploration of Ensenada that fits their group.

As the founder of Ensenada Massage and Valle Mobile Spa, I believe wellness and peace comes first, then adventure. After a Carnival cruise and recognizing a need for more intimate, traveler-centric experiences, I launched Ensenada Excursions & Tours. I saw the limitations of crowded, cookie-cutter shore excursions and built a team that prioritizes customization, safety, and local insight—so you can experience Ensenada on your own terms.

Today, through Baja Tours & Transport, we bridge the safety and logistical gap between San Diego and Valle de Guadalupe, ensuring your journey is as seamless and flexible.

I live in Ensenada and visit San Diego often for family elder car, but my heart is permanently on the road. Whether I’m scouting a new path through the Valle de Guadalupe, practicing capoeira, or diving into the latest research on longevity, I am constantly learning to create my own family peace and have enough energy to adventure in Baja and down to Baja Sur, so I can share with visitors.

I try to be more than just a business owner; I’m your local resource for Safety guides, port guides and hidden taco spots to the perfect itinerary.

Give me dm for encourgement, connection and random quesitons only a local would know. Life is better with community, and dogs;)
