Recovering from Injury? Here’s How Infrared Massage Helps You Move (Without the Strain)

Whether you’ve pulled a muscle, tweaked your back, or just can’t move like you used to — recovery takes time.
But staying totally still doesn’t help either.

When you’re in that in-between zone — not ready to train, but needing movement — infrared lymphatic massage can bridge the gap.

At The Body Roll Studio in Takapuna, we’ve created a self-guided recovery experience that helps support healing, circulation, and gentle mobility — without pain, pressure, or risk.


🛠 Why Movement Matters (Even When You’re Injured)

After an injury, your body needs support to:

  • Reduce swelling

  • Increase circulation to promote healing

  • Keep lymphatic fluid moving to avoid stiffness and inflammation

  • Ease muscle tightness without overloading the area

Traditional massages can feel too intense. Workouts are off the table. And even stretching might feel risky.
That’s where body rolling comes in.

🔥 How Infrared Massage Supports Injury Recovery

Our infrared body roll machines combine heat and compression to help your body:

  • Boost circulation to injured or tight areas

  • Gently stimulate movement without load-bearing strain

  • Improve oxygen delivery to muscles and joints

  • Reduce fluid retention, swelling, and inflammation

Each session guides you through a gentle sequence you can adjust to suit your mobility — and if something’s sore, you simply skip that area. You're in control.

🧘 It’s Movement — Without Overdoing It

This isn’t exercise. And it’s not passive either. It’s light, effective movement for people who want to:

  • Stay active during recovery

  • Improve mobility over time

  • Avoid re-injury from pushing too soon

  • Feel empowered and safe while supporting their body

We’ve had clients come in with shoulder issues, hip stiffness, back pain, and even post-surgery (with medical clearance) — and body rolling has helped them reintroduce movement in a gentle, feel-good way.


✨ Feel good. Look good. Do good.✨

FAQs: Infrared Massage for Injury Recovery

Is this okay for recent injuries?
If you’ve been cleared for gentle movement, yes. We recommend waiting until swelling has gone down and you’re not in acute pain. Always check with your doctor if unsure.

Can I skip areas that are sore or sensitive?
Absolutely. You can skip or adjust any section. The session is fully self-guided.

Will this help with mobility or tightness?
Yes — the rollers help loosen fascia and increase circulation, which can ease stiffness and improve range of motion over time.

Do I need to do this regularly to see benefits?
Even one session can help you feel relief, but consistency is key if you’re using it to support recovery or improve flexibility.
