With the InfraCare, you can comfortably treat muscle and joint problems and relieve muscle and
joint pain at home. Just like the sun, the appliance emits infrared light. The special filter only passes
the type of light required to achieve the intended therapeutic effect. The InfraCare can also be used
for relaxation or preparation for a massage.
