Throughout the past decade, several companies have tried their hand at creating an infrared body wrap. There are two types of wraps, wraps created for home use and wraps that are commercial grade. Some of these wraps cover the entire body to raise the core body temperature, while some only treat specific areas used mainly for the treatment of chronic pain patients. The engineering, materials used as well as safety components have a lot to do with what makes an effective infrared body wrap, and the quality and functionality of the far infrared wrap will set it apart from others.
