Far infrared therapy has rapidly gained attention in the healthcare and rehabilitation space for its natural, effective, and research-backed benefits. At ExoArmer Manual Therapy, we integrate this science into our tools and educational courses to support better outcomes for both therapists and their patients.
What is Far Infrared Therapy?
Far infrared (FIR) rays are invisible waves of energy that penetrate beneath the surface of the skin, reaching muscles, soft tissues, and even joints. Unlike traditional heat therapy, which often remains superficial and inconsistent, far infrared light delivers sustained therapeutic warmth deep into the body. Research has shown that FIR therapy promotes cell repair, increases blood circulation, eases muscle tension, and stimulates healing in inflamed or damaged tissue.
According to News Medical, infrared light delivered to injured areas at specific wavelengths encourages cellular repair and regeneration. This approach not only reduces pain and inflammation but also assists the body’s natural healing processes.
“The far infrared sleeve allows therapists to provide continuous therapeutic warmth throughout treatment without interrupting their flow. It helps enhance patient comfort and optimize recovery.” — ExoArmer Team
Why Manual Therapists Are Turning to Far Infrared Technology
Manual therapy professionals often manage complex cases involving soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, and mobility issues. Integrating FIR therapy as an adjunct can support patient care by:
- Increasing oxygen and nutrient flow through improved circulation
- Reducing muscle spasms and joint stiffness
- Encouraging detoxification and lymphatic flow
- Enhancing the relaxation response during treatment
FIR therapy is also safe, noninvasive, and well tolerated by most individuals, including those with circulatory challenges.
ExoArmer’s Proprietary Far Infrared Sleeve
Through our proprietary FIR sleeve, ExoArmer Manual Therapy introduces a modern tool for hands-on professionals. Designed for ease of use, our sleeve enables practitioners to deliver consistent far infrared warmth throughout a session without the discomfort or inconvenience of traditional wraps or bulky equipment.
“We developed our infrared sleeve to solve a real challenge therapists face: how to support healing without disrupting manual treatment. Our approach merges science with practical design.” — ExoArmer Team
Whether you work with acute injuries, post-surgical patients, or chronic pain conditions, integrating FIR therapy can elevate your current treatment protocols. It also complements modalities such as soft tissue manipulation, spinal decompression, or rehabilitative stretching.
Evidence-Based Benefits of FIR Therapy
Research published by the National Institutes of Health and supported by leading clinics confirms FIR’s therapeutic potential:
- Pain relief and inflammation reduction: FIR expands capillaries and enhances blood flow, which accelerates soft tissue healing
- Improved recovery: Studies suggest increased nitric oxide production relaxes blood vessels, reducing clotting and supporting tissue regeneration
- Detoxification and immune support: FIR induces sweating and lymphatic activation, helping remove metabolic waste and support immune resilience
- Comprehensive care integration: FIR therapy is used internationally in hospitals, chiropractic clinics, and by sports professionals as a safe adjunct to care
