The Jacuzzi® brand just introduced its newest hot tub collection, the J-LX® Collection, featuring two distinct models with the exclusive FX-IR Seat that combines patented Infrared and Red Light therapy seamlessly into their already award-winning hydrotherapy experiences. Jacuzzi® is the very first and only brand to deliver Infrared and Red Light therapy technology across a wide range of its wellness products, including hot tubs, saunas and swim spas. This cutting-edge technology integrates rejuvenation into your relaxation experience and the Red Light therapy technology makes your already enjoyable spa time even more effective and productive.
Since Infrared and Red Light therapy is entirely new to hot tubs, you may wonder what is infrared therapy and does it work? Infrared technology incorporates an added wellness experience into your relaxation so you can effortlessly soothe sore muscles and ease tension while enjoying the regenerative qualities of Red Light therapy.
What is Infrared therapy?
Infrared therapy is not new to Jacuzzi®; the brand has been leading this technology through its IR saunas for several years. Seeing the incredible benefits in a sauna application, they decided to do more research on how these same benefits could be achieved with Infrared and Red Light therapy applied in a hot tub setting. Jacuzzi® experts worked with a PhD at the Cleveland Clinic to develop a white paper on the technology and the benefits of Infrared therapy. At the conclusion of this research and seeing the amazing benefits they could bring their spa customers, Jacuzzi® began working with an experienced development partner to identify the exact wavelength output requirements for the Near Infrared (NIR) and the Red Light therapy in an underwater application.
In the new J-LX® collection, Jacuzzi® is using NIR waves to penetrate below the skin into the deeper muscle tissue specifically in the lower back area while specialized deep Red Light reaches surface tissue and cells to ensure a long-lasting feeling of regeneration. The rejuvenating powers of Infrared and Red Light therapy work together deep beneath the skin’s surface to relieve pain and improve range of motion.
FX-IR Seat
Both hot tub models in the J-LX® Collection feature the FX-IR Seat, which performs the Jacuzzi® brand’s most advanced hydrotherapy. The FX-IR Seat combines full-back and neck hydromassage with near Infrared and deep Red Light therapy to target deep tissue within the lumbar region of the lower back. Essentially, the J-LX® Collection is designed to give you the most rejuvenating and regenerating hydrotherapy experience available, that will last long after you step out of the hot tub.
Pain relief is one of the key benefits delivered through Infrared therapy. It is particularly effective in the lower back region. Considering many people suffer from chronic lower back pain this is especially important. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “an estimated 619 million people live worldwide with LBP and it is the leading cause of disability worldwide.” The organization also reports that LBP has “the highest prevalence globally among musculoskeletal conditions; it is the condition where the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation.”
