BioMat Heat Therapy in Georgetown
"Almost everything will work again if you unplug if for a few minutes…including you.”
- Anne Lamott
What Is a BioMat?
The BioMat is a therapeutic wellness device that combines gentle warmth with far-infrared light, amethyst and tourmaline crystals, and negative ions.
What Makes the BioMat Different?
Gentle Far-Infrared Warmth
The BioMat uses far-infrared technology to provide gentle, penetrating warmth. This comfortable heat can help you relax, ease muscular tension and create a deeper sense of comfort during your massage.
Thoughtfully Designed Layers
The BioMat is constructed with multiple layers designed to work together for consistent warmth, comfort and durability. Its construction incorporates insulating and heat-reflective materials to help distribute warmth throughout the surface.
Negative Ion Technology
The BioMat also incorporates negative-ion technology as part of its design. Negative ions can help you shift from stress to rest and promote an overall calming and relaxing experience.
Amethyst & Tourmaline
Amethyst and tourmaline are incorporated into the BioMat's construction alongside the infrared technology to enhance the body’s natural healing response.
With Shaun White, RMT he primarily uses it for its comforting warmth and relaxing experience during massage.
Rather than being something you need to actively participate in, it's simply there in the background while you receive your treatment.
You lie comfortably on the massage table while your RMT works with your body.
Why Add Warmth to Your Massage?
Heat has long been used alongside massage to help create a more comfortable and relaxing experience.
Gentle warmth can feel particularly soothing when your body feels:
Tight
Stiff
Tired
Sore after physical activity
In need of relaxation
For some people, warmth helps them settle into their massage more quickly.
For others, they simply enjoy the feeling of being warm and comfortable while receiving treatment.
There's no right or wrong preference.
Your treatment is adjusted around you.
Your Comfort Comes First
Not everyone likes the same temperature.
That's why we don't simply turn the BioMat on and leave it at one setting.
During your treatment, you can ask me to:
Turn it up
if you'd like more warmth.
Turn it down
if you're feeling too warm.
Turn it off
if you prefer your massage without heat.
The BioMat is there to enhance your experience - not dictate it.
BioMat + Massage
Why We Use Them Together
Massage therapy works through personalized hands-on assessment and treatment.
The BioMat provides a layer of gentle warmth while you're receiving that treatment.
This creates a simple combination:
Hands-on treatment
Your RMT focuses on the areas that need attention.
Gentle warmth
The BioMat helps create a warm, comfortable environment.
Time to relax
You can settle into your treatment without needing to do anything.
It's not about adding more to your treatment.
It's about creating a better environment for the treatment you're already receiving.
Included With Every Massage
With Shaun at Be Well, BioMat warmth is included with every massage at no extra charge.
You don't need to select it as an add-on.
You don't need to book a longer appointment.
And you don't pay anything extra.
When appropriate, I’ll incorporate it into your treatment and adjust the temperature according to your comfort.
What Does It Feel Like?
The BioMat provides gentle, consistent warmth underneath you while you receive your massage.
Think of it as the feeling of getting into a comfortably warm bed - rather than intense heat.
You'll still receive your normal massage treatment.
The warmth simply creates a cozy environment underneath you.
And because your comfort matters, we'll check in with you throughout your treatment.
Who Might Enjoy BioMat Warmth?
BioMat warmth may be particularly appealing if you:
Enjoy heat during massage
Tend to feel cold while lying on a massage table
Experience general muscular stiffness
Have been physically active
Find warmth relaxing
Simply enjoy a cozy treatment environment
But you don't have to have a specific problem to enjoy it.
Sometimes warmth just feels good.
When I May Turn It Down or Off
Heat isn't appropriate or comfortable for everyone.
Let me know if you:
Become easily overheated
Have reduced sensation or difficulty sensing temperature
Feel dizzy, uncomfortable or unusually warm
Have a medical condition where heat exposure has been restricted by your healthcare provider
I can adjust or discontinue the BioMat at any time.
Your massage can be completely customized to your comfort.

A Warmer Way to Be Well
Your massage should be more than simply lying on a table for an hour.
It should be a chance to slow down, switch off and give your body some attention.
The BioMat is one small part of creating that experience.
