1. A percussive massage device comprising:
a housing, the housing comprising a window, and the window comprising an inward facing surface;
a motor contained in the housing;
a reciprocation shaft coupled to the motor and configured to reciprocate when the motor is active;
an infrared radiation emitter contained in the housing, wherein the infrared emitter is configured to direct infrared radiation through the window and outside the housing, and wherein the infrared radiation emitter is positioned such that the inward facing surface of the window faces toward the infrared radiation emitter;
a fan configured to direct air along an air flow path, wherein a portion of the air flow path extends across and in contact with the inward facing surface of the window that faces the infrared radiation emitter;
a heat sink to which the infrared emitter is mounted, wherein the heat sink cooperates with the fan and the window to define the air flow path;
wherein a heat sink opening is defined through the heat sink, the fan is configured to mobilize air along the air flow path, and an exiting portion of the air flow path extends from the window to the fan through the heat sink opening; and
wherein the infrared radiation emitter comprises an LED array comprising infrared LEDs and a board to which the infrared LEDs are mounted, and wherein the board comprises a board opening aligned with the heat sink opening such that the exiting portion of the air flow path extends through the board.
