Game Ready Cold & Compression Therapy

Game Ready is a clinically used, cold compression therapy system designed
to support early-stage recovery following surgery or acute injury.
Home About Secondary Image

Support early-stage recovery by helping manage swelling, discomfort and movement in the first weeks after injury or surgery.

  • Used in elite sport and post-operative rehabilitation
  • Available for home use with clinical support

By combining controlled cold therapy with intermittent compression, it helps manage swelling and discomfort, making it easier to begin early movement and engage with rehabilitation.

Where Game Ready Fits in Your Recovery

Game Ready is typically introduced in the early stages following surgery or acute injury, when swelling and discomfort can limit movement and muscle activation.

It is used alongside physiotherapy to help patients:

  • Manage swelling
  • Improve comfort
  • Begin early movement and muscle activation

As rehabilitation progresses, the focus shifts toward strength, control and return to function.

At Atherapy, Game Ready is integrated into a structured rehabilitation pathway, combining hands-on physiotherapy, progressive loading, and return-to-performance planning.

Why Not Just Use Ice?

Traditional ice can help reduce pain, but Game Ready combines controlled cold therapy with intermittent compression.

This allows for:

  • More consistent cooling
  • Improved comfort
  • Combined compression to help manage swelling

It is designed to be easier to use regularly during the early stages of recovery.

Who's This For

Game Ready may be appropriate for:

  • ACL reconstruction and knee surgery
  • Shoulder surgery (e.g. rotator cuff repair, stabilisation)
  • Acute knee or ankle injuries with significant swelling
  • Patients struggling to manage swelling or discomfort in early rehabilitation
  • Athletes looking to optimise early-stage recovery
