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.
