Sauna

Athletes have long known about the health benefits of using saunas after strenuous exercise. Heat from a sauna causes the body to sweat extensively. This cleanses the skin and the pores. Toxins are removed from the blood, as well as lactic acid build-up from the muscles. The body's circulation is stimulated, tired and sore muscles relax, and joint stiffness is relieved. Also helps relieve sinus congestion.

Sauna Rules

• Must be aged over 15 years to enter
• Pregnant women are advised not to use saunas at all
• Always shower before
• Avoid sitting or lying on the floor
• Don't stay in sauna for more than 15min.
