New CPD equips facility operators with essential skills for safe, effective cold-water therapy
CET CryoSpas, a global leader in cold-water immersion technology, has launched a comprehensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course on cold-water immersion therapy. Elite sports organisations worldwide trust CET’s technology and expertise.
The new programme responds to growing demand for qualified practitioners. Cold-water therapy continues to gain popularity across fitness, wellness, and rehabilitation settings.
The course targets facility operators, gym staff, lifeguards, and wellness professionals. These professionals support clients who use cold-water immersion systems as part of their training or wellbeing routines.
As the market continues to grow, CET recognises the need for consistent and professional training. The course helps operators deliver cold-water therapy safely and effectively. It also supports high standards of member care and facility compliance.
Participants will develop a strong understanding of cold-water immersion science. The course explores physiological responses, potential benefits, suitable users, and key contraindications.
In addition, the training covers essential safety protocols. These include risk management, breathing techniques, and progression guidelines.
The programme also addresses hygiene and maintenance standards. It aligns with the latest industry guidance from PWTAG and BISHTA.
Furthermore, real-world case studies and evidence-based myth-busting help participants apply their knowledge in practical situations. Performance applications also show professionals how to answer client questions and adapt protocols to 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 fully understanding the critical safety considerations and physiological responses involved. Our CPD course fills this gap.
“It gives professionals the knowledge and confidence to deliver safe, effective experiences. At the same time, it helps uphold the standards our industry demands.”
Upon completion, participants will have the knowledge and skills to uphold CET’s worldwide standards of excellence. They can also use their training to support clients with their recovery and wellness goals.
Ultimately, the course reflects CET’s continued commitment to raising industry standards. It also supports the professional development of cold-water therapy practitioners around the world.
CET CryoSpas has led the cold-water immersion industry since the early 2000s. Today, the company serves more than 60 countries worldwide.
CET installations span elite sports organisations, including Manchester United, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Team GB, and the US Military. Through its technology and professional training, CET continues to support organisations and practitioners across the global cold-water therapy sector.
