With the InfraPhil, you can comfortably treat muscle and joint problems and relieve muscle and joint
pain at home. Just like the sun, the appliance emits infrared light. The special filter only passes the
type of light required to achieve the intended therapeutic effect. The InfraPhil can also be used for
relaxation, preparation for a massage or as a part of a cosmetic treatment.
