Game Ready Cold & Compression Therapy
Game Ready is a clinical-grade recovery system that combines active cold therapy with intermittent compression to reduce swelling, manage pain and accelerate healing. Used by elite athletes and surgical rehab patients worldwide, it's one of the most effective tools we have for helping your body recover faster — especially in the early stages after injury or surgery.
How Does Game Ready Work?
The system wraps around the affected area and delivers controlled cold therapy and rhythmic compression simultaneously.
The cold reduces inflammation and numbs pain, while the compression mimics your body's natural circulatory patterns to actively draw swelling away from the area. It's far more effective than a bag of ice, and your physio can adjust the temperature and pressure to suit your stage of recovery.
When Would We Use It?
Game Ready is most commonly used in the early days after surgery — particularly following knee reconstructions, shoulder repairs and joint replacements — when controlling swelling and pain is critical to a good outcome.
It's also used after acute sporting injuries, flare-ups of chronic conditions, and as part of an accelerated return-to-sport protocol. Your physio will incorporate it into your broader treatment plan when the timing is right for your recovery.
