For me everything centers on my back. When I have trouble, whatever the cause, my back is the first, last and worse pain.

Well, I have offered it.

It is that the infrared saunas, which transfer heat by radiation (infrared radiation) deposit heat in a very nonuniform manner on the body and the human body does not handle this well. Regular saunas transfer the heat evenly by convection and the body handles this much
better.

And another……………….

There are never any circumstances where infrared sauna should be used.

They have a high adverse reaction rate, the marketing claims are not accurate, some brands are full of materials that will zap chemically sensitive people (despite claims to the contrary), and the IR does not behave as stated - in fact most of them don't emit the spectrum they claim to in their advertizing literature.

Regular (wet or dry) sauna is fine.
