Designed in the USA, the Game Ready system is a device that combines cryotherapy and intermittent compression through controlling air pressure and the flow of fluid. When compared to traditional Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation (RICE) methods, the Game Ready System provides cooling that is faster, longer lasting, and able to penetrate deeper into the tissues. The image below shows this comparison!
The specially designed wraps and boots allows for specific body parts to be targeted. The anatomically engineered wraps provide optimal coverage, better surface area and a comfortable fit allowing for more effective cold/compression therapies. The Velcro design allows for easy application and the ability to snap in and out of treatment mess free!
