Game Ready?
Game Ready Cold & Compression Therapy

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.

- ACL reconstruction and knee surgery
