Health - Saunas have Health Benefits for Wheelchair Users
So you less able people, would you like to get fit and healthy without having to do too much?
Well, you can and here’s how you can - To get fit and healthy, you need to get a Sauna - simple as that! I was looking at Saunas for the home the other day and I honestly did not realise the health benefits they have. Here’s how Saunas help the less active members of society.
Increased Heart Rate* (Good if you are taking Viagra)
Increased Blood Flow to the skin* (Good for pressure sensitive areas)
Regular steam and sauna users claim a ‘good sweat’ helps relieve most severe symptons of cold and flu. (Most disabled people are so static they couldn’t break a sweat if their life depended on it)
Some of the other benefits associated with saunas include:
- Relief from the pain and stiffness of arthritis (now that has to be good)
- Steam is an excellent treatment for respiratory problems, such as; chest congestion, bronchitis, laryngitis and sinusitis.
- Revives tired and strained muscles after physical exertion.
- The cleansing effect of profuse perspiration helps provide healthy skin and a clear complexion.
- Improved Love Life**
Well there you go, what other reasons do you need to go out and buy a Sauna?

** Source MrCrip - That has to be right, surely it will kick-off in the steam room if there are two of you in there getting hot and sweaty.
Infrared Saunas also seem to be gaining in popularity, again what was once considered a luxury is now an item that is affordable and in the reach of many people.
Here’s the deal, O2Relax will deliver a two-person infrared sauna to your home for only £1,499 - I think that is an absolute steal - but better still, if you quote ‘MrCrip is a winner’ to the guys at O2Relax and they will knock £100 off the price of the two-seater sauna!
O2relax will honour this deal until the 13th April, so get in there quick and have a Happy Easter from MrCrip
