Fit Body Wrap
The FIT Bodywrap system takes the meaning of body wrapping to a whole new level. Lay back and relax as heat activated pads promote the breakdown of fat and cleanse the pores of toxins through perspiration. The easy to use FIT Bodywrap Controller allows for complete customization during a FIT Bodywrap session. The control panel allows for zone and temperature control to the exact degree. This system delivers clinically proven, soothing and effective infrared rays to the body to help with a wide range of therapeutic benefits which include:

- Burns up to 1200-1400 calories per session
- Cellulite reduction
- Targeted cellulite reduction
- Pain relief
- Soothes sore and strained muscles
- Anti-inflammatory for muscle and joint pain
- Skin rejuvenation
- Increases blood circulation
- Detoxification
- Purges the body of toxins and fat through perspiration

Calorie Burn
One of the most popular benefits of infrared heat therapy is weight loss. Extensive clinical research has documented a wide range of benefits supporting weight loss using immersive far infrared therapy as delivered by the FIT Bodywrap System.
Sweating consumes calories and a FIT Bodywrap session can induce 3-5 times more sweat than exercise alone.
Infrared can rebalance metabolism directly speeding up the rate calories are burned even after a session.
As organic acids are purged your fasting insulin levels may drop. This can assist with stopping your body from being pushed to store carbs as fat.
Cellulite Reduction
Infrared as delivered in the FIT Bodywrap helps fight cellulite in the following ways:
Fat becomes water-soluble at a body temperature of approximately 40.6 degrees C (100.5 degrees F) and can “melt” by breaking up into smaller particles, which can then be purged from the body through infrared induced sweating. (Yamazaki)
Dr. Flickstein has discovered infrared can help the appearance of cellulite do to its ability to help rebuild collagen connective tissue. Stronger collagen can help rearrange the fat deposits away from each other and the skin’s surface, and help prevent further accumulation of cellulite.
Pain Relief
Many people have used a heating pad to soothe body pain and heat has been well documented in the management of pain relief. The FIT Bodywrap’s penetrating infrared heat can result in immediate therapeutic benefit through increased blood flow and tissue oxygenation.
Clinical research has established that an infrared treatment such as a FIT Bodywrap session can increase blood flow from 5-7 quarts/minute to as much as 13 quarts/minute. Therefore during a session there can be a substantial amount of nutrient and oxygen rich blood flowing which can help heal the body and relieve pain.
Infrared is also known to act directly on irritated nerve endings. A 2008 study found that chronic pain patients experienced nearly a 70% reduction in pain levels after the first infrared therapy session.
Skin Rejuvenation / Anti-aging
Studies suggest that ‘far’ infrared stimulates the production of cell tissue and rapidly promotes the regeneration of skin and blood tissue.
Infrared heat used in the FIT Bodywrap can be helpful with a variety of aging factors such as wrinkling, uneven skin pigmentation, and the loss of skin elasticity.
Expelling the usually hard-to-remove heavy metals and organic acids from stress overloads in sweat can help rebalance both digestion and metabolism that can adversely impact skin beauty (Yamazaki).
Detoxification
When an overload of toxins builds up in our system we may experience recurrent sickness, aches, pains, signs of allergy, mood swings and more.
The process of sweating can help the body release pollutants, but infrared sweat is different. It can contain toxins that are a bit harder to release, like alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, ammonia and heavy metals.
Detoxification Studies have shown that sweat produced during infrared sessions can contain as much as 20% fats and toxins. This in in comparison to 3-5% lost during a traditional sauna or workout!
A full body infrared immersion is one of the best ways to rid your body of the toxins it absorbs each day.
Relaxation
Countless clients have reported that FIT Bodywrap sessions lead to a sense of profound relaxation. Scientific evidence also shows that immersive infrared thermotherapy as from the FIT Bodywrap helps maintain healthy levels of cortisol which is known to raise the heart rate and blood pressure.
The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75 to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related problems. Therefore, taking the time to relax in the soothing infrared rays can help promote overall health and wellness.
