Sauna Science - Arthritis
At Bobanco, we build with care; for the land, for real life, for movement and for how our bodies change over time.
As the seasons turn, so do we. Joints stiffen, muscles tighten, and recovery takes longer than it used to. For those living with arthritis, these shifts are not just subtle, but they transform the way you move throughout the world. The discomfort can be daily, persistent and quietly draining.
But warmth has a way of softening what aches.
We’ve watched it happen time and time again: someone steps into the sauna stiff, cautious and sore, and steps out moving smoothly, breathing deeper and smiling just a little bit more freely. The heat has not ‘cured’ anything, but has powerfully helped your body feel better.
Arthritis is rooted in inflammation. Swelling, stiffness and pain can slow everything down. That’s why regular sauna use is so powerful, as it specifically targets the reduction of inflammation at a cellular level. The heat stimulates the production of ATP, the energy your cells use to repair and restore. With greater ATP stores, your body becomes better equipped to repair soft tissue, manage flare-ups, and move with less resistance.
Our high-efficiency stoves create consistent, deep-reaching heat that works through your body. Dry heat improves circulation, which in turn optimises the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your tired tendons, aching joints and inflamed muscles. For those managing arthritis, this gentle warmth often translates to less stiffness, better mobility and a lighter experience of movement.
But arthritis is not only about joints, it’s also about managing the gentle balance between reserving your energy, resting, and how you carry stress. That’s where saunas offer something more, as they also activate your nervous system’s parasympathetic response. Vitally, it will become easier to relax, easier to sleep, help calm anxious thoughts, and allow you to return to your day with just a little more ease. That mental reset is arguably just as essential as physical relief.
Whether you’re learning to live well with arthritis or adapting over a lifetime of activity and adventure, a Bobanco sauna becomes more than a luxury, it’s a tool for daily care.
There’s comfort in knowing it will always be there, consistent, steady and always ready when you are!
A quiet space to move through discomfort gently. A rhythm that helps you feel more like yourself again!
