Client Testimonials
Richard
I sustained a torn rotator cuff injury a few months ago. Two of my tendons have partial tears, which causes chronic pain, loss of sleep, and decreased mobility in my shoulder. After going to physiotherapy for awhile, I read about the benefits of infrared sauna and started going to the sauna at SmartFitt several times a week. After a month, I can definitely say that my shoulder is improved; each time I have a sauna the pain is relieved and I have more flexibility. I believe that the infrared heat penetrates deep into the injured area and speeds up healing. - Richard
