Jacuzzi™ Infrared Technology

Jacuzzi® is the first and only brand to offer Infrared and Red Light therapy across a range of wellness products, from saunas, to swim spas, to hot tubs.

Benefits of Infrared Therapy

Pain relief is one of the key benefits delivered through Infrared therapy. It is particularly effective in the lower back region. Considering many people suffer from chronic lower back pain this is especially important. According to the World Health Organization(WHO), “an estimated 619 million people live worldwide with LBP and it is the leading cause of disability worldwide.” The organization also reports that LBP has “the highest prevalence globally among musculoskeletal conditions; it is the condition where the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation.”

Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the “percentage of adults with back pain increased with age from 28.4% for those aged 18-29 and 35.2% for those aged 30-44 to 44.3% for those aged 45-65 and 45.6% for those aged 65 and over.”

The statistics don’t end there. Chronic pain caused by arthritis and severe joint pain is an ongoing problem in the U.S. The CDC states that “one in four adults with arthritis—15 million people—report experiencing severe joint pain related to arthritis. Additionally, nearly half of adults with arthritis have persistent pain.”

Knowing that lower back pain is a struggle for people across the globe, Jacuzzi® decided to focus solely on the lower back of the FX therapy seat. The application of Near Infrared (NIR) to the lower back muscles promotes healing with consistent use of the therapy.

In the Jacuzzi® J-LX Collection, for example, the rejuvenating powers of Infrared are combined with the regenerative qualities of Red Light therapy. They work together deep beneath the skin’s surface to relieve pain, improve range of motion.
