Claim 16:
17. A personal therapy chamber comprising:
an upper unit and a lower unit that each includes a plurality of elongate, substantially planar panels disposed side-by-side, each of the panels supporting an emitter configured to emit infrared radiation in one or more of a near-, mid-, and far-infrared band; and
a hinge coupling longitudinal edges of adjacent ones of the panels, the hinge enabling pivoting of each panel in both a first direction and a second direction relative to the adjacent panels, pivoting in the first direction moving the plurality of panels toward and into a storage configuration in which the plurality of panels are at least partially folded onto one another, pivoting in the second direction moving the plurality of panels toward and into a use configuration in which the longitudinal edges of the adjacent ones of the panels abut to limit an extent of pivoting in the second direction and provide the plurality of panels in an arched formation that is disposable on a surface, the upper unit and the lower unit being disposed on the surface in longitudinal alignment with the lower unit extending outward from a first end of the upper unit to form a chamber in which a human user is received with a head of the user extending at least partially beyond a second end of the upper unit and a remainder of the user's body being within the chamber.
