Therapeutic Services

Updated: 10 March 2026

Brysk is a new, family-run wellness studio off St Ann’s Square that offers high-tech recovery treatments in a calm and relaxing setting. It’s designed for anyone who wants to feel their best, whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for a big event, or just feeling rundown by the demands of everyday life.

They offer a range of non-invasive services including red light therapy and cryotherapy – two science-backed techniques that have been gaining attention for benefits including improved skin health, faster recovery after exercise, better sleep, higher energy levels and enhanced circulation. Cryotherapy in particular has also been linked to improved mood.

A short session in the cryotherapy chamber triggers a surge of dopamine and norepinephrine: the brain chemicals that help regulate mood, motivation and alertness. It reduces muscle and joint soreness and leaves you energised and focused, making it ideal for everyday wellbeing or post-workout recovery. Targeted cold therapy is also available for joints and sore muscles.

Cryotherapy FAQs

What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?

A three-minute controlled exposure to moisture-free, cold air at -87°C. It triggers a full-system reset, reducing inflammation and releasing endorphins. Unlike ice baths, Brysk uses a “dry” electric system that is more comfortable.

Who is Whole Body Cryotherapy for?

While used by athletes, a huge part of the Brysk community includes busy professionals and desk-based workers looking to feel more energised. It’s for anyone seeking better focus and recovery.

Is Whole Body Cryotherapy safe?

Yes. Sessions are fully supervised and guided by your surface skin temperature, not a fixed timer. You are never pushed through discomfort; safety and communication come first. Brysk perform a suitability check for every new client and may advise against the treatment for those with certain conditions.

How often should I have Whole Body Cryotherapy?

To begin with, two to three times per week is the sweet spot for most people to see lasting results in mood and inflammation. Brysk will advise based on personal goals.

Whole Body Red Light Therapy at Brysk

Red and near-infrared light stimulates your cells to produce more energy, improving skin tone, collagen production, and cellular health. The technique has been widely studied in medical and sports science research, with growing evidence linking it to improved tissue repair and skin health.

Red Light Therapy FAQs

What is Whole Body Red Light Therapy?

Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses medical-grade red and near-infrared light to “charge” your mitochondria – your cells’ power plants – boosting energy and cellular repair.

Who is Whole Body Red Light Therapy for?

People looking for something gentle and low-impact. It’s widely used for skin rejuvenation (collagen) and muscle recovery, but also for general wellness and improved sleep.

Is Whole Body Red Light Therapy safe?

Yes, it is non-invasive and UV-free. Brysk provides blackout goggles to ensure your 12-minute session is relaxing for your eyes.

How often should I use Whole Body Red Light Therapy?

Consistency is key. Brysk recommends two to four sessions per week. Short, regular sessions are easier to maintain than infrequent long ones.

Other treatments at Brysk

Brysk also offers a suite of recovery treatments designed to leave you feeling revitalised. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) lets you relax in a pressurised chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen, supporting recovery and tissue repair. Full-body lymphatic drainage uses a gentle compression suit to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping move fluid and improve circulation. Dynamic compression boots deliver rhythmic air pressure to the legs, easing muscle fatigue and boosting post-exercise recovery.

Other treatment FAQs

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) Therapy?

HBOT delivers up to 95% pure oxygen at elevated pressures to saturate your bloodstream, accelerate healing, and optimise cellular function. The oxygen penetrates muscles, tissues, and cells to speed recovery, boost energy and hone mental clarity.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen a medical treatment?

At Brysk, it is offered as a wellness-focused experience, not a medical service. The chamber is designed to feel open and reassuring. If you feel claustrophobic, the team monitors you throughout to ensure you’re in total control.

What is Full Body Lymphatic Drainage?

Brysk’s Lymphatic Drainage system uses medical-grade Muller Sports garments to provide a sophisticated, full-body compression experience. Unlike standard boots, this system encompasses the torso and lower limbs to stimulate the lymphatic system – your body’s internal waste disposal unit. By applying precise, rhythmic pressure, it helps transport metabolic waste, excess fluid, and toxins out of your tissues, leaving you feeling less bloated, energised, and internally “clean.”

What are Dynamic Compression Boots?

Dynamic Compression Boots use rhythmic, pulsing air pressure to boost blood flow, flush waste, and make your legs feel lighter. Brysk’s medical-grade NormaTec system massages your legs through targeted compression waves, increasing blood flow and clearing metabolic waste, making you stronger, fresher, and energised.

What’s the difference between Localised and Whole Body Cryotherapy?

Neither is “better”; they just suit different needs. Whole Body Cryo is a “system reset,” while Localised Cryotherapy at Brysk is a short, focused cold session aimed exactly where you need it most (like a knee or a shoulder). 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 a practical, modern tool you can drop into your week to feel less stiff and more mobile.

Are these treatments NHS-approved?

While the NHS uses HBOT for specific clinical emergencies, Brysk offers these as non-clinical performance and wellness tools. You can find put more about safety and contraindications here.

Do I need to know exactly what to book?

Not at all. If you’re unsure, please speak to the team first. They’ll help guide you towards a session or programme of treatments that fits how you’re feeling and your goals.
