Client Release Waiver For Infrared Sauna and Cold plunge

I agree to take full responsibility for myself as I use the Sauna, cold plunge and or shower, and all other rooms/amenities at Higher Elevation Healing Arts facility. I accept that I am participating in hydrotherapy including the sauna and cold plunge and I assume all risk unto myself. I declare myself physically and mentally capable to participate in hot and cold therapy. I will not misrepresent myself to any agents/staff of Higher Elevation Healing Arts about my ability to operate all equipment while at Higher Elevation Healing Arts.

I Agree

I understand that I will receive a sauna and cold plunge tour with verbal instructions during my initial visit about the use proper use of the hydrotherapy equipment. I understand that the hydrotherapy instructions and this written waiver are to serve as the primary source of information and education of the use of the sauna and cold plunge room, and the facility.

I Agree

Infrared sauna use as creating a cure for or treating any disease is neither implied nor should be inferred. Drinking an electrolyte-replacing water or a sports drink is strongly recommended before and after use. I understand that it is not safe to sleep in the infrared sauna

Medical Conditions and Sauna use

Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.

Medications – Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

Alcohol & Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated With Reduced Ability To Sweat Or Perspire – Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.

Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding – The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

Fever & Insensitivity to Heat – Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.

Pregnancy – Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

Menstruation – Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should not preclude sauna use.

Joint Injury – Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.

Implants – Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.

Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.

If any of the any of the above conditions apply to you, you agree to consult your physician prior to sauna use.

I Agree

In the rare event that you experience pain or discomfort during your session, you agree to immediately discontinue sauna use.

I Agree

Sauna usage reccomendations:

  • Hydrate with at least 8 oz. of water to prepare your body for an increase in core temperature.
  • Use provided towels to absorb sweat during sessions.
  • The optimal sauna experience occurs between 100° and 130°F.
  • To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 15-20 minute sessions at 100°F several times a week.
  • If comfortable with current settings, gradually increase towards 40-60 minute sessions.
  • Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions.
  • Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
  • Move slowly and be cautious if you experience any lightheadedness or dizziness.

After Care:

  • Drink at least 24 oz. of water or electrolyte to rehydrate.
  • Dry off with towel. Cool down naturally or with a refreshing shower.

Cold Plunge use:

  • Consult a physician if you are concerned about cold water immersion and how it relates to your health.
  • While entering and exiting the cold pluge please use caution.
  • It is advised to use the cold plunge prior to the infrared sauna.

I understand the recommendations for the safe usage of the sauna and cold plunge
