Proven Cryotherapy Benefits
Reduces Stress
Regular controlled cold exposure can help your body feel calmer and more balanced, supporting a sense of resilience when managing everyday stress.
Improves Overall Well-being
Cryotherapy sessions boost energy, enhance circulation, and promote a balanced mental and physical state that supports a healthier, revitalised sense of well-being.
Improves Muscle Recovery
The rapid cooling effect accelerates healing and helps minimise delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise, enabling a quicker return to training.
Eases Muscle & Joint Pain
Extreme cold exposure can help soothe tired muscles and joints, offering short-term relief from acute and chronic pain, and supporting easier movement and comfort.
Reduces Inflammation
Cryotherapy helps minimise swelling and inflammation by constricting blood vessels and slowing inflammatory responses, easing muscle pain and supporting recovery.
Boosts the Immune System
Regular sessions can support your body’s natural defences by promoting circulation, helping you build resilience, lowering the risk of illness, and helping you feel generally healthier.
Supports Weight Management
Cold therapy can activate brown fat, which helps regulate body temperature and energy use. This may help with maintaining a healthy weight when combined with an active lifestyle.
Rejuvenates the Skin
Cryotherapy stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and tone. Regular sessions can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a treatment that exposes the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short, controlled period. People typically use it to reduce pain and inflammation, support muscle recovery, and improve mood and general well-being.
How Does Cryotherapy Work at The Tanning Shop?
At The Tanning Shop, we use Zerobody Dry Floatation cold water therapy beds to gradually expose the body to low temperatures without immersion in water. The treatment involves lying on a membrane that fills with cold water, triggering physiological responses to reduce pain, boost energy, and enhance overall wellness.
Is Cryotherapy Like an Ice Bath?
Dry floatation cryotherapy is a type of cold water therapy that has similar rejuvenating effects to ice baths. Both support recovery and reduce soreness, but have key differences:
- The Zerobody Cryobed delivers “dry cold” through a cooled membrane, rather than water immersion.
- Cryo beds gradually cool the body, with temperature carefully monitored, while ice baths cool the body more rapidly and intensely.
- Many consider cryo beds safer than ice baths because the controlled environment lowers the risk of hypothermia or overexposure.
If you want to reap the rewards without water immersion, cryotherapy is a fantastic ice bath alternative.
How Long Does a Cryotherapy Session Last?
Our cold water immersion therapy sessions last 3-5 minutes.
How Often Can I Have Cryo Sessions?
For best results, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week, depending on your goals.
Is Cryotherapy Safe?
Experts generally consider dry floatation cryotherapy safe for most healthy adults when delivered in a professional setting, such as The Tanning Shop. We recommend consulting a medical professional before booking cold therapy near you.
Can Anyone Use the Zerobody Cryobed?
Avoid whole-body cryotherapy if you suffer from medical conditions that cold exposure may exacerbate. These include:
- Epilepsy
- Heart disease/cardiac arrhythmias
- Impaired circulation
- Pulmonary edema
- High blood pressure/hypertension
- Hypersensitivity to cold
- Eye disorders
- Open wounds
- Pregnancy/lactating/breastfeeding
- Certain medications
This list is not exhaustive. If you have any of these conditions or have queries about cryotherapy, consult your GP before booking a treatment.
What Should I Wear for Cryotherapy at The Tanning Shop?
You can wear clothes, go nude, or wear underwear for this treatment. We’ll provide you with a modesty cover, and you will have complete privacy to undress.
How Old Do I Need to Be for Cryotherapy UK?
You must be between 16 and 65 years of age to use the Zerobody Cryobed.
Can I Have a Tan or Red Light Therapy Alongside Cryotherapy?
Yes, you can continue to book UV tanning, spray tanning, and red light therapy sessions while using the Zerobody Cryobed.
