What is Localised Cryo?
Localised Cryo at Brysk is a short, focused cold session aimed exactly where you need it most. Unlike a full-body chamber, this treatment uses a handheld device to deliver a stream of medical-grade, super-cooled air directly to a specific joint or muscle group. It’s not a spa ritual or a medical procedure: it’s a practical, modern tool you can drop into your week to feel less stiff, more mobile, and generally more on the ball.
Benefits By Goal
Recovery
Target the niggle.
Got a stubborn ache that won’t shift? Localised cold induces “thermal shock,” which causes blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, flushing the area with fresh, oxygenated blood the moment the session ends.
Key benefits:
- Immediate reduction in local swelling and puffiness
- Rapid relief for “runner’s knee” or “golfer’s elbow”
- Numbs pain receptors for instant relief from acute soreness
- Breaks the cycle of chronic inflammation in specific joints
Performance
Stay in the game.
Don’t let a tight calf or a stiff shoulder derail your training week. Localised cryo allows you to treat “hot spots” without the systemic chill of a full-body session, getting you back 100% faster.
Key benefits:
- Improved joint range of motion and mobility
- Faster turnaround between high-intensity sessions
- Reduces the “heavy” feeling in overworked muscle groups
- Perfect for pre-session activation or post-session “firefighting”
Longevity
Protect your joints.
Consistent maintenance of your joints and tendons is the key to training for life. Localised cryo supports the long-term health of your connective tissues by managing the daily wear and tear of an active lifestyle.
Key benefits:
- Supports tendon and ligament resilience
- Reduces the need for anti-inflammatory medication
- Manages flare-ups from old injuries
- Keeps you moving fluently across your training blocks

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Localised Cryo
Does it hurt?
Not at all. While the air is very cold, it is a “dry” cold and the session is short. Most people find it incredibly refreshing and invigorating rather than painful.
Do I need to get changed?
No. That’s the beauty of it. As long as we can access the skin of the area being treated (e.g., rolling up a trouser leg for a knee), you can stay in your work or gym gear.
How is this different from an ice pack?
An ice pack is static and can actually “burn” the skin if left too long. Our localised cryo is dynamic, much colder, and penetrates deeper into the tissue in a fraction of the time.
Can I use it on an old injury?
Absolutely. It’s excellent for managing “niggles” or stiffness in old injury sites that tend to flare up during heavy training blocks.
How many areas can I treat in one go?
We usually focus on 1–2 key areas per session to ensure we get the right “thermal shock” response in those specific spots.
