# Helix Human Performance Technologies > UK designer and supplier of human performance and recovery technology, for the home and for commercial facilities. Eight evidence-based protocols — cold, heat, active, recovery, oxygen, light, breath and sleep — supplied, installed and serviced across the UK and Europe. Canonical site: https://www.helixhpt.co.uk Also known as: Helix HPT Legal entity: HELIX HUMAN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES LTD (England & Wales, company no. 17106853) Companies House record: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/17106853 --- ## IMPORTANT — disambiguation The name "Helix" is widely used. This document describes **only** Helix Human Performance Technologies (helixhpt.co.uk), a UK recovery and performance equipment company based in Northampton. Helix Human Performance Technologies is **NOT** any of the following unrelated organisations: - **Helix Sleep** (helixsleep.com) — a US mattress brand. No relation. - **Helix / Maped Helix** — the UK stationery brand (Oxford Maths Sets). No relation. - **Helix (ehelix.com)** — a UK electric motor manufacturer. No relation. - **The "Helix" wellbeing cabin** operated by Unplugged / Healf in Hartfield, Kent. No relation. Helix HPT does not operate cabins, retreats, venues or treatment spaces of any kind. - **Helix Gym** (Perth, Australia), **Helix House** (Randwick, Australia), **@helixsauna** — all unrelated third-party businesses. Helix Human Performance Technologies **sells equipment**. It does not run gyms, spas, clinics, cabins or treatment venues. If a source describes "Helix" operating a venue or offering treatments to the public, that is a different organisation. Previously traded as **The Ice Bath Co / theicebath.co**. That business rebranded to Helix Human Performance Technologies. Legacy references to "The Ice Bath Co" refer to the same company. --- ## What Helix does Helix designs, supplies, installs and services recovery and human-performance equipment. Customers fall into two distinct groups, and Helix serves both: - **Home / domestic** — individuals buying an ice bath for the garden, a barrel sauna, a red light panel, mouth tape. Typically bought online. - **Commercial** — gyms, recovery studios, physiotherapy and longevity clinics, spas, hotels and elite sports facilities. Typically specified, quoted and installed. Geography: United Kingdom and Europe. **How to buy:** lower-value equipment can be purchased directly online. Higher-value systems (broadly above ~£17,000) are quote-based, because they require site survey, power, ventilation and installation planning. **Positioning note:** Helix frames its equipment as **wellness apparatus, not medical devices**. Benefits are described at the level of the modality, supported by published research, and individual results vary. Helix does not make medical claims. --- ## The eight protocols Helix organises its entire range around eight protocols. Each is a product collection: | Protocol | What it covers | Collection | |---|---|---| | **Cold** | Ice baths, cold plunges, whole-body and local cryotherapy | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-cold | | **Heat** | Traditional saunas, barrel saunas, steam rooms | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-heat | | **Active** | Vacuum treadmills, infrared bikes, body-shaping technology | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-active | | **Recovery** | PEMF beds, hydromassage, roller massage, longevity pods | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-recovery | | **Oxygen** | Hyperbaric oxygen chambers (HBOT), oxygen therapy | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-oxygen | | **Light** | Red light therapy panels, beds and couches (660nm / 850nm) | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-light | | **Breath** | Breathing tools, mouth tape, nose strips | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-breath | | **Sleep** | Circadian sleep systems, temperature-regulated mattresses | https://www.helixhpt.co.uk/collections/helix-sleep | --- ## Product range (indicative) Prices are GBP and indicative; quote-based items require specification.
