Councillor Karen Grinsell opened the first skin and cryotherapy clinic in Solihull at a special launch event by Active Clinics as they expand their revolutionary treatments across the Midlands. 

After bringing a range of innovative treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy and nitrogen facials to Edgbaston in 2015, people of Solihull will now get the chance to try these cutting-edge treatments at a new store at the MK Health Hub in Solihull. 

Councillor Grinsell was joined by 30 people from the local community who were invited to a special ribbon cutting event where they were given free trials of these exciting techniques. 

The multi award-winning Active Clinics are the only clinic in the Midlands who specialise in hyperbaric oxygen therapy – a pioneering treatment which enhances the body’s natural ability to heal by breathing in 100% oxygen at pressures lower than sea level to help repair and enhance cell function. 

The clinic also offers customers cryotherapy, which has been medically proven to help people find relief from injury, muscle strains and pain as well as promoting skin rejuvenation and weight loss. 

Speaking at the launch of the store in Solihull, owner and founder Tammy Takkar, said: “We’re so delighted to offer the people of Solihill a diverse range of state-of-the-art health and wellbeing treatments after a big surge in demand from our customers. Our aim is to offer a unique and unforgettable experience to help people, whether it’s to recover from injury or to look and feel the best they ever have.”

Cllr Karen Grinsell added: “Supporting and enabling new business growth is critical both for creating new employment and self-employment opportunities. A vibrant business economy is critical for Solihull and one of our priorities is to develop a more entrepreneurial economy and support the growth of small businesses. I wish Active Clinic Solihull the very best of luck with their new business venture here in Shirley, Solihull.”

Heather Fisher, Olympian and TV personality is a regular customer at Active Clinics, said the difference it’s made has been remarkable: “I’ve used the hyperbaric and cryotherapy treatments for a few years now at Active Clinics and they’ve made a remarkable difference. Being active has always been a huge part of my life so being able to aid recovery and improve energy levels, stamina and endurance has brought me so many benefits. I’d encourage everyone to give it a go!”

Stars including English actor and producer Scott Adkins, famed for roles in blockbuster movies including John Wick and The Bourne Ultimatum, as well as MMA fighter Leon Edwards and Birmingham City Football Club players have also opted for courses of cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions at Active Clinics in recent years.
