Whole body Cryotherapy
Is whole-body cryotherapy safe for first-time users?
Yes. Whole-body cryotherapy at Brysk is fully supervised and carefully controlled, with support from the moment you arrive.
If it’s your first session, we’ll talk you through exactly what to expect before you step into the chamber. Sessions are guided using surface skin temperature, not by pushing time or intensity, and a member of the team stays with you throughout. There’s no expectation to “push through” discomfort – everything is adjusted with comfort, communication, and safety coming first.
Is whole body cryotherapy only for athletes or high-performance training?
Not at all. While athletes and runners use cryotherapy regularly, a large part of the Brysk community is made up of busy professionals, desk-based workers, and people looking to feel more energised and recovered day to day.
Whole-body cryotherapy supports general recovery, focus, and wellbeing – it’s not reserved for elite sport or intense training schedules.
How do I know if whole body cryotherapy is right for me?
Whole-body cryotherapy works well if you’re looking for a broader, full-body experience rather than focusing on one specific area.
That said, you don’t need to decide on your own. We’ll talk through the differences and help you choose an option that fits how you’re feeling and what you want from the session.
If it helps to see how a session works in practice, our Whole-Body Cryotherapy page walks through the experience step by step – including how sessions are guided safely based on individual response rather than fixed exposure times.
Red Light Therapy
Is red light therapy safe for regular use?
Yes. Red light therapy at Brysk uses controlled, non-invasive technology and is suitable for regular sessions.
Everything is guided by our team, and the experience itself is calm and comfortable rather than intense. If it’s your first time, we’ll explain how it works and make sure it feels like the right fit before you begin.
Is red light therapy only used for skin-related concerns?
No. While red light therapy is often associated with skin support, many people use it as part of a wider recovery or wellness routine.
Clients include everyone from gym-goers to desk-based professionals who want something restorative that fits easily into everyday life, not just those focused on appearance.
How do I know if red light therapy is right for me?
Red light therapy works well for people looking for something gentle and low-impact, without strong physical sensations.
If you’re deciding between red light therapy and another Brysk option, we’ll talk through how each option feels in practice and help you choose something that suits what you’re looking for that day. If you want a clearer sense of the setup and what a session involves, our Red Light Therapy page breaks it down simply.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy a medical treatment?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is sometimes used in clinical settings, but at Brysk it’s offered as a wellness-focused experience, not a medical service.
Sessions take place in a calm, supervised environment and are designed to feel relaxed and accessible – without the formality, pressure, or atmosphere of a hospital or clinic.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe for everyday wellness use?
Yes. Sessions at Brysk are carefully guided, with your comfort prioritised throughout.
If you’re new to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we’ll explain how everything works before you begin and answer any questions you may have, so you feel confident and at ease going into your first session.
What if I feel unsure or claustrophobic?
That’s completely normal – and something we support regularly.
Our chamber is designed to feel open and reassuring, and you’re monitored throughout the session. If you have any concerns, we’ll talk them through beforehand and make sure you’re comfortable at every stage. You’re never rushed, and you’re always in control.
If it helps to visualise the setup in advance, our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy page walks through what the experience is like step by step.
Compression Therapy
What is compression therapy using compression boots?
Compression sessions at Brysk use specialist compression boots that gently apply and release pressure around the legs in a controlled sequence.
The experience is designed to feel relaxing and supportive rather than intense. You’ll be comfortably seated throughout, with the session guided by our team so you can switch off while everything runs smoothly.
Is compression boot therapy only for athletes or runners?
No. While athletes and runners use compression boots regularly, many Brysk clients are busy professionals, desk-based workers, or people who spend long hours on their feet.
Compression therapy is often chosen by anyone looking to feel lighter, less tight, and more refreshed – regardless of fitness level or training routine.
How do I know if compression therapy is right for me?
Compression boots are a good option if you’re looking for a gentle, hands-off recovery experience without strong physical sensations.
If you’re deciding between compression therapy and another Brysk option, we’ll help you compare the options and choose something that fits how your body feels and the kind of recovery you want. If it helps to picture the setup and how a session feels, our Compression Boot Therapy page explains the experience in more detail.
Lymphatic Drainage
What is lymphatic drainage and why do people use it?
Lymphatic drainage at Brysk is a machine-led, full-body compression experience, not a manual massage. It uses specialist garments that apply gentle, rhythmic pressure to support how the body naturally moves fluid through the lymphatic system.
People choose this experience because it feels calming and restorative, and is often included as part of a broader recovery or wellness routine – particularly when the body feels heavy, sluggish, or out of balance.
Is lymphatic drainage at Brysk a massage or hands-on therapy?
No. Lymphatic drainage at Brysk is entirely hands-off.
Sessions use advanced compression garments that wrap around the torso and lower body, delivering controlled pressure sequences while you relax. There’s no manual manipulation, oils, or physical contact from a therapist at any point.
Is lymphatic drainage a medical or cosmetic procedure?
No. Lymphatic drainage at Brysk is offered as a non-clinical wellness experience, not a medical or cosmetic procedure.
Sessions are designed around comfort, relaxation, and supporting the body’s natural processes in a calm studio environment, rather than clinical assessment or intervention.
How do I know if lymphatic drainage is right for me?
Lymphatic drainage works well if you’re looking for a gentle, low-effort session that feels supportive rather than intense.
If you’re unsure whether this experience or another Brysk service is the best fit, the team will talk through how each option works in practice and help you choose something that aligns with what you want from the session.
Localised Cryotherapy
What’s the difference between whole body and localised cryotherapy?
Whole-body cryotherapy exposes the body to cold inside a controlled chamber, while localised cryotherapy focuses on a specific area using targeted cooling.
Localised cryo sessions are often chosen when someone wants to support one particular area, or prefers a more focused experience without full-body exposure. Both options are carefully supervised – neither is “better”, they simply suit different needs and comfort levels.
Is localised cryotherapy suitable if I’m new to cryotherapy?
Yes. Many people choose to start with localised cryotherapy because it feels more approachable and easier to ease into.
Sessions are guided by our team, with a focus on comfort and clarity throughout. If it’s your first time exploring cold-based recovery, localised cryotherapy can be a simple way to understand how your body responds before moving on to full-body sessions.
How do I know whether localised cryotherapy is right for me?
Localised cryotherapy is often a good fit if you’re looking for targeted support rather than a full-system reset.
If you’re unsure whether a localised session or whole-body cryotherapy makes more sense, the team will help you choose based on what you want to focus on and how you want the session to feel. For a clearer picture of what a localised session involves, our Localised Cryotherapy page walks through the experience step by step.
What to Expect When You Visit Brysk
Will someone be there to guide me during my session?
Yes – every session is fully guided.
A member of the team is always on hand to explain what’s happening, answer questions, and make adjustments where needed. You’re never left to figure things out on your own, and nothing moves forward unless you’re comfortable.
What happens when I arrive for my first session?
When you arrive at Brysk, you’ll be welcomed at the front desk and invited into our studio space, where the atmosphere is calm, unhurried, and designed to help you switch off straight away.
If it’s your first visit, we’ll take a few minutes to understand what you’re looking for, explain how your booked session works, and answer any questions before you begin. The focus is always on helping you feel comfortable, informed, and looked after – never rushed or pushed into anything.
For cryo chamber sessions, this also includes a quick suitability check and making sure you’re comfortable with how the session will be guided before anything begins.
Do I need to know exactly which service to book in advance?
Not necessarily. If you’re unsure, we recommend getting in touch first so we can help you choose before you book.
Many people have a clear idea of what they want to book, while others prefer a short conversation before deciding. If you’re unsure which session is the best fit, you can speak to the team beforehand and we’ll help guide you toward the right option before you book.
This ensures your visit runs smoothly and availability is aligned with what you’re looking for.
How does booking work, and can I book quickly?
2-4 times per week is great for general wellbeing. Daily use is popular with active clients or people who spend all day sat at their desk!
All sessions at Brysk are booked in advance using our online booking platform or the Brysk app.
This lets you:
- Check real-time availability
- Choose the right session length
- Secure a time that works for you
If you’re keen to visit soon and aren’t sure what to book, the team can help you decide and then guide you through booking online or via the app – rather than turning up without a confirmed booking.
Can I combine different services in one visit?
Yes, combining sessions is common – but it’s always planned in advance.
If you’re interested in combining services during a single visit, the team can help you plan a session flow that works well and fits availability. This avoids feeling rushed and ensures each part of your visit feels intentional and relaxed.
