New CPD equips facility operators with essential skills for safe, effective cold-water therapy delivery
CET CryoSpas, the global leader in cold-water immersion technology, trusted by elite sports organisations worldwide, has announced the launch of its comprehensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training course on cold-water immersion therapy. This program addresses the growing demand for qualified practitioners as cold-water therapy becomes increasingly popular in fitness, wellness, and rehabilitation settings.
The course is specifically designed for facility operators, gym staff, lifeguards, and wellness professionals who support clients using cold-water immersion systems. As the market has expanded rapidly, CET recognise the critical need for standardised training that ensures safe, effective delivery of cold-water therapy while maintaining the highest standards of member care and facility compliance.
Participants will gain a complete understanding of cold-water immersion science, from the physiological responses and key benefits to recognising suitable users and contraindications. The comprehensive training covers critical safety protocols including risk management, breathing techniques, and progression guidelines, alongside essential hygiene and maintenance standards that meet the latest industry regulations published by PWTAG and BISHTA. Real-world case studies, evidence-based myth-busting, and performance applications demonstrate how to confidently answer client questions and adapt protocols for different needs.
“The rapid growth of cold-water immersion therapy has created an urgent need for proper education and standardisation,” said Colin Edgar, Managing Director of CET CryoSpas. “Too many operators are learning on the job without understanding the critical safety considerations and physiological responses involved. Our CPD course fills this gap, ensuring that every professional supporting cold-water therapy has the knowledge and confidence to deliver exceptional, safe experiences that uphold the standards our industry demands.”
Upon completion, participants will have the expertise to uphold CET’s worldwide standards of excellence while helping clients achieve their recovery and wellness goals safely and effectively. The course represents CET’s continued commitment to advancing industry standards and supporting the professional development of cold-water therapy practitioners globally.
CET CryoSpas has been at the forefront of cold-water immersion technology since the early 2000s, serving over 60 countries with installations across elite sports organisations including Manchester United, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Team GB, and the US Military.
