This is a wellness combination that takes you from warm relaxation to an icy blast of energy, and the contrast is exactly what makes it so powerful.
The experience begins with a calming session in Thriyv’s private full spectrum FAR infrared sauna. Unlike traditional saunas that simply heat the air, infrared technology works by gently warming the body from within. This soothing heat penetrates deep into muscles and tissues, helping the body relax while encouraging circulation and supporting the body’s natural detox process.
As you settle into the warmth, it’s the perfect chance to unwind. The gentle heat can help ease tension, loosen tight muscles and leave you feeling wonderfully relaxed before the next stage of your experience.
After warming up in the sauna, you’ll step into Thriyv’s whole body cryotherapy chamber, where temperatures drop to an icy -150°C. It might sound extreme, but the session only lasts three minutes. This quick burst of cold triggers the body’s natural response, boosting circulation and releasing feel-good endorphins.
Many people love cryotherapy for how it can support muscle recovery, reduce inflammation and leave you feeling energised and mentally refreshed. It’s the ultimate wake-up call for the body after the soothing warmth of the sauna.
The contrast between heat and cold is where the magic really happens. Moving from the deep warmth of infrared heat to the crisp cold of cryotherapy stimulates circulation and leaves the body feeling balanced, revitalised and ready to take on the day.
Both treatments take place at the Thriyv Wellness & Aesthetic Clinic in Manchester, using modern, medical-grade equipment with trained specialists supervising every session to ensure your comfort and safety.
As gift ideas go, this experience is perfect for fitness lovers, wellness enthusiasts or anyone curious about modern recovery therapies. It’s guaranteed to leave them feeling refreshed from head to toe.

Cryotherapy
What is whole body cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy is a wellness treatment where you step into a specialised chamber filled with extremely cold air for a short period of time. The cold exposure stimulates the body’s natural responses, which can help support recovery, circulation and overall wellbeing.
How cold does the cryotherapy chamber get?
The chamber can reach temperatures of around -150°C. While this may sound extreme, the exposure is brief and carefully controlled to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
How long does a session last?
A typical cryotherapy session lasts between two and five minutes. This short burst of cold is enough to trigger the body’s response without requiring long exposure.
What does the treatment feel like?
Most people describe it as an intense but invigorating cold sensation. Because the session is so short, many clients find it surprisingly manageable and even energising once they step out.
What are the potential benefits of cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is often used to help reduce muscle soreness, decrease inflammation, boost circulation and support athletic recovery. Many people also report improved mood, increased energy and mental clarity after a session.
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes, when performed correctly under supervision. At Thriyv Wellness & Aesthetic Clinic, medical-grade equipment is used and every session is supervised by trained professionals to ensure your safety and comfort.
Do I need to prepare before my cryotherapy session?
You’ll be given clear instructions before entering the chamber. Typically, you’ll wear protective gloves, socks and footwear, and your specialist will guide you through everything you need to know beforehand.
Will I feel cold after a cryotherapy session?
Interestingly, many people feel the opposite. Once the session ends and circulation increases, clients often report feeling energised, refreshed and warm as blood flow returns to the body.
Who is cryotherapy suitable for?
Cryotherapy is popular with athletes, gym-goers and anyone looking to support recovery or boost energy levels. It can also appeal to people interested in modern wellness treatments.
Infrared Sauna
What is a full spectrum infrared sauna?
A full spectrum infrared sauna uses three types of infrared light, near, mid and far infrared, to gently heat the body. Each wavelength penetrates different layers of tissue, helping to create a deeper, more therapeutic wellness experience compared to traditional saunas.
How is an infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?
Traditional saunas heat the air around you, which warms the body from the outside in. Infrared saunas work differently by using light wavelengths that warm the body directly. This allows for a gentler temperature while still creating a deep, relaxing heat.
What are the three infrared spectrums used in the sauna?
The sauna uses near-infrared (0.75–2 µm), mid-infrared (2–5 µm), and far-infrared (5–15 µm) wavelengths. Each one reaches different depths within the body, helping support muscle relaxation, circulation and overall wellbeing.
How long does a session last?
Most sessions last between 20 and 40 minutes, allowing the body time to gradually absorb the infrared heat and enjoy the full wellness benefits.
What temperature does the sauna run at?
The sauna typically operates between 40°C and 60°C, which is lower than many traditional saunas but still provides a deeply warming and comfortable experience.
What are the potential benefits of an infrared sauna session?
Many people use infrared saunas to help relax muscles, support circulation, encourage detoxification, and reduce tension. The gentle heat may also support recovery and help you feel refreshed afterwards.
What is chromatotherapy lighting?
Chromatotherapy is colour light therapy integrated into the sauna environment. The lighting creates a calming, spa-like atmosphere while encouraging relaxation and helping you fully switch off.
Is the sauna session private?
Yes. The infrared sauna at Thriyv Wellness & Aesthetic Clinic is a private experience, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful and uninterrupted wellness session.
Do I need to prepare before my sauna session?
It’s recommended to arrive well hydrated and avoid heavy meals beforehand.Â
