Cold air hits hard, and for athletes, that chill digs into muscles. It slows recovery and drags out soreness. Standard heating pads only warm the surface, so the tight spots underneath don’t get the relief they need.
Infrared warmth does the job differently. It sends heat deeper—into tissue, not just skin.
What we built, and why it matters
We built our app-controlled infrared electric heater around a high-efficiency carbon fiber element that emits near-infrared wavelengths. Those rays go straight into muscle and connective tissue, warming from within while the surface stays comfortably dry.
The 1200W output gives you a steady, even field of radiant heat, and the built-in thermostat holds your chosen temperature within ±1°C. Control is straightforward through the companion app—set a program, schedule sessions, and keep an eye on room temperature from your phone. For safety, the unit has tip-over protection and an automatic shutoff timer.
Why this approach fits the recovery workflow
After training in the cold, athletes need fast muscle relaxation to cut stiffness and help with micro-injury repair. Infrared warmth promotes local circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients while clearing metabolic waste.
That translates to less time waiting around to feel right again. Because the heat is radiant, it feels consistent and natural—no drafty swings like you get with forced-air heaters. You can run it in a therapy room, garage gym, or covered outdoor recovery area, and keep the session timed exactly the way you want.
A few practical notes from the field
Infrared heat is direct and focused, so position the unit 2–3 feet from the target area for the best penetration. The app needs a stable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, and the heater is intended for indoor use or fully sheltered outdoor spots. It has an IP rating for splash resistance, but it’s not built for open rain.
For comfort, pair it with a gentle stretch routine, and keep sessions in the 15–30 minute window.
