Cold and Compression Therapy

The Game Ready®️ cryotherapy machine is a medical device that combines cryotherapy with compression therapy. It features a comprehensive control unit and an innovative wrap design that simultaneously delivers active cooling and intermittent compression, offering superior adjustability, comfort, and convenience compared to traditional methods. This dual-action treatment system integrates proven cold therapy techniques, elevating the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) recovery protocol to a new level. It provides acute treatment and rehabilitation needs for athletes, injury victims, and post-surgery patients, enabling faster recovery from injuries or surgeries.

How Game Ready Works

The Game Ready treatment system utilizes active compression and cooling circulation. Active compression mimics muscle movement, helping to reduce swelling, stimulate lymphatic circulation, and enhance blood and oxygen flow, thereby improving the effects of cold therapy. The system controls temperature by circulating ice water through specially designed treatment wraps, followed by active compression that covers the injured area, accelerating recovery and minimizing pain and swelling.

Treatment Benefits

Game Ready can deliver simultaneous pneumatic (air) compression and adjustable cryotherapy. This combination effectively reduces pain and swelling, decreases reliance on pain medications, and accelerates the body’s natural healing process. The device is particularly beneficial for treating and alleviating knee injuries and ligament issues.

The operation of the Game Ready cryotherapy machine is straightforward and safe. Its smart interface accurately monitors temperature levels, treatment time, and pressure settings, significantly reducing the risk of skin burns associated with traditional ice packs.

Treatment Advantages

In a one-on-one performance comparison, the GRPro®2.1 system provides faster, deeper, and longer-lasting cooling compared to the traditional RICE (Rest - Ice - Compression - Elevation) method. Through cryotherapy and compression therapy, patients experience a significant reduction in pain and swelling, which decreases reliance on pain medications and accelerates healing time.

Active Cryotherapy

Rapid and continuous cooling of painful areas with circulating ice water effectively reduces edema (swelling), muscle spasms, and pain.

Simulation of Muscle Contraction

Pneumatic compression mimics natural muscle contractions, gradually alleviating swelling and stimulating the flow of oxygen-rich blood.

Anatomically Designed Wrap

The wrap design conforms to the body's anatomy, closely fitting the painful area, increasing contact surface area, and ensuring effective cold therapy.

No-Risk High Efficiency

Faster, deeper, and longer-lasting cooling means safer treatment, minimizing the risk of frostbite while reducing the need for opioid pain medications.

Portable and Convenient

The system comes with a battery and carrying case, allowing treatment to be initiated anytime, anywhere—whether at home, in the office, or outdoors.

FAQ about Cold and Compression Therapy

Patients need to place the injured area into a specialized cooling wrap. The device will automatically circulate cold water and apply pressure. Treatment usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes, with the specific duration determined by medical advice.

Game Ready is commonly used for sports injuries, postoperative recovery, acute and chronic pain, sprains, strains, recovery after joint surgery, and other situations that require reduction of swelling and pain.

Patients typically feel cooling and slight pressure. The entire treatment process should be comfortable and not cause discomfort or pain.

Most patients report a significant reduction in pain and swelling after using Game Ready. This treatment method helps accelerate the recovery process and improves overall rehabilitation outcomes.

Pregnant individuals, those with skin conditions, circulatory issues, allergic reactions, or infections should avoid using Game Ready and consult a healthcare professional before use.

While Game Ready can be used in medical facilities, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional beforehand to ensure that this treatment is suitable for your specific situation.
