THE BENEFITS

What cryotherapy can do for you.

01

Advanced recovery

Training hard? Intense cold exposure can ease feelings of muscle soreness and support post-workout recovery.

02

Intelligent personalisation

No two bodies are the same. Our chamber uses smart sensors to monitor skin temperature across different areas, helping tailor each session to your individual inflammatory levels.

03

Energy & invigoration

Need a reset? Just minutes in our cryotherapy chamber delivers an invigorating burst, leaving you feeling refreshed and re-energised.

THE TREATMENT

What is whole-body cryotherapy?

Whole-body cryotherapy is a very short exposure to extremely cold, dry air inside a specially built chamber. You stand with your head clear of the chamber while the cold surrounds your body for up to four minutes.

Because the air is dry, the cold feels sharp and clean rather than damp. Sensors read the temperature and resistance of each body part and focus harder on your most inflamed areas, and the session ends when every area has reached its target. You choose a mild, default or intense setting, and our team stay with you, talk you through it and keep a close eye on how you are feeling.

THE EVIDENCE

What the research says.

Whole-body cryotherapy has been studied in sport, rehabilitation and general wellbeing. Here is what published studies have found.

Cryotherapy is not a substitute for medical treatment. Please speak to your doctor about any health condition.

Muscle soreness after exercise

A Cochrane review of four trials with 64 active adults found lower self-reported muscle soreness after whole-body cryotherapy, including at 1 hour after exercise. Many clients use a session after hard training to help their muscles feel fresher.

Sleep and energy

In a randomised crossover study of 10 elite synchronised swimmers (Schaal et al., 2015), daily whole-body cryostimulation during two weeks of intense training helped preserve sleep duration, sleep efficiency and energy. The authors said the results support its use by athletes in demanding periods. Many clients tell us they leave feeling awake and clear-headed.

Inflammation and pain

A 2025 meta-analysis of 11 randomised trials (274 people) in Scientific Reports found that whole-body cryotherapy lowered the inflammatory marker IL-1β and raised the anti-inflammatory IL-10. A 2024 review of 18 studies (499 participants) in Heliyon found that post-exercise cryostimulation significantly reduced muscle pain and perceived fatigue.

Mood and mental wellbeing

In a controlled trial of 60 adults (Rymaszewska et al., 2007), 26 had 15 short whole-body cryotherapy sessions over 3 weeks alongside their usual care, and 34 had usual care only. The cryotherapy group showed a significantly larger improvement in anxiety and depression scores and in life satisfaction. Many clients describe a real lift in mood after a session.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Whole-body cryotherapy was first used in the late 1970s for rheumatism. In a trial of 60 people with active rheumatoid arthritis (Hirvonen et al., 2006), pain fell in every cryotherapy group, most of all in the group given whole-body cryotherapy at -110°C. No serious or permanent side effects were found. A further trial of 44 patients (Gizińska et al., 2015) found that the cryotherapy group improved in pain, fatigue and walking, with reductions in the inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNF-α.

Elite sport use

In a study of 12 high-ranking professional tennis players (Ziemann et al., 2012), a 5-day course of whole-body cryostimulation alongside training was more effective for recovery than training alone, and the players showed greater stroke effectiveness in a tennis drill. Elite teams use cryotherapy for the same reason, and our chamber gives you the same kind of session.

Fibromyalgia

In a randomised trial of 43 people with fibromyalgia (Varallo et al., 2022), adding ten 2-minute sessions of whole-body cryostimulation to a rehabilitation programme produced greater improvements in pain, mood, sleep quality and the overall impact of the condition than rehabilitation alone. The authors described it as a promising add-on treatment.

Back pain

In a randomised trial of 80 men aged 65-77 with long-term lower back pain (Giemza et al., 2015), those who had whole-body cryotherapy frequently across the week showed significant improvement. The authors concluded that it is effective for treating lower back pain.

Multiple sclerosis, fatigue and function

In a study of 48 people with multiple sclerosis (Miller et al., 2016), a series of daily whole-body cryostimulation sessions improved both fatigue and functional status. The improvements were greatest in the people who started out most fatigued.

Biohacking and longevity

Cold exposure is a staple of the biohacking world for its effects on inflammation, circulation and recovery. In a study of 45 healthy men (Lubkowska et al., 2011), a course of 5, 10 or 20 sessions raised the anti-inflammatory markers IL-6 and IL-10 and lowered IL-1α. The 20-session course gave the longest-lasting effects, so regular visits seem to build on each other.

★★★★★

“I had the cryotherapy and the red light therapy. I'd had some tough marathon training leading up to it and a double session that day. Usually my recovery after that is always fraught but I managed to have a better recovery following the session at Ultra Wellness. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again. Absolutely loved it!”

★★★★★

“I went along because I couldn't bear the pain any longer and painkillers were not even taking the edge off. Excellent, friendly and informative staff greeted me and answered all my questions. I braved the artic storm in the cyro pod, 4 mins was plenty. I woke up the next morning pain free and all tightness/guarding was gone. It's not witchcraft it's science!”

CHRONIC BACK PAIN
★★★★★

“I came in to try the cryo chamber and Theo walked me through everything and made me feel so welcome. All the staff are very friendly and don't hesitate to help! I felt amazing after the cryo and can't wait to do it again and try out some of the other treatments there. Can't recommend this place more!”

★★★★★

“This place is great. I've used the cryotherapy chamber about half a dozen times now and it's always a huge help for my recovery. This time I tried the red light therapy as well. Both fantastic services, and the team there are very knowledgeable and friendly. I'll definitely be back soon.”

REGULAR USER · CRYO
★★★★★

“I do the cryotherapy and red light bed twice a week, and they've become an essential part of my weekly routine. Tom and Theo are two of the most genuine blokes you'll meet. They make every visit enjoyable and genuinely care about how you're getting on, not just with the treatments and the progress you're making, but with life as a whole. I couldn't recommend Ultra Wellness more. If I could give 6 stars, I would.”

FAQ

Good questions.

What's a session actually like?

You change into a robe, socks and gloves, then step into the chamber for up to four minutes while our team guides you. Sensors read the temperature of each body part, and you're done once every area has reached its target for the mild, default or intense setting you chose. You can talk to us throughout, and you'll warm up quickly afterwards.

Does it hurt, or feel too cold?

The air is very cold but dry, so most people find it bracing rather than painful. You can ask to stop at any time, and our team keeps an eye on you throughout.

Is there a cheaper way than booking one session at a time?

Yes. A 6-session package is £270 (£45 a session) compared with £59 for a single session. We also offer day passes and protocols that combine several therapies.

What should I wear or bring?

Wear something comfortable that's easy to change out of. We provide a robe, socks and gloves. Please make sure your skin is dry before you start, and ask our team if you have any questions on the day.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals. Some people come once for a boost, others build a regular routine alongside their training. We'll talk through what suits you at your first visit.

Is cryotherapy right for me?

It suits many healthy adults, but not everyone, for example during pregnancy or with some heart, blood-pressure or cold-sensitivity conditions. You'll complete a consent form before your first session. If you're unsure, ask us or your doctor.
