A THERAPIST’S PERSPECTIVE

WHY WE LOVE THE GAMEREADY COMPRESSION/ICE DEVICE

One application that accelerates a patient’s recovery with a sore and swollen joint or muscle is the application of our GameReady cold and compression device. This device precisely delivers a specific amount of pressure to the injured area through the use of the cryocuff sleeve in either intermittent or constant modalities. This pressure combined with the proven effects of cold therapy in which ice cold water is circulated through the sleeve also.

The GameReady device is a very effective way to allow pain, swelling and muscle function to improve rapidly. It does this by limiting the accumulation of injury by-products around the affected area and its resulting swelling. These inflammatory mediators gather rapidly around the injury site after soft tissue damage and the GameReady assists in reducing this build up and therefore the pain, nerve damage and muscle atrophy.

The most common applications for the GameReady are:

1. After a sporting soft tissue injury
2. Following surgery on knees, ankles, hips
3. Joint pain associated with significant swelling
4. Chronic pain in a limb

A PATIENT’S PERSPECTIVE

WHY PATIENTS WITH SWOLLEN AND SORE LIMBS SHOULD CONSIDER GAMEREADY FOR EARLY RECOVERY FROM INJURIES

Sometimes doing your exercises to improve your recovery from surgery or an injury is limited because the area just keeps swelling. Swelling around a joint in particular is bad news for the longer-term health of your cartilage as it accelerates the changes associated with early arthritis. Swelling also affects movement, strength, balance, flexibility and ultimately your quality of life and the ability to tackle daily activities.

After knee, hip and ankle surgery the biggest complication is persistent pain and swelling. Our patients have found application of the GameReady device a great way to finish their rehabilitation program so they are not going home sore and swollen. This is all taken care of at our Exercise Right & Rehab Studio.

Patient’s also find use of GameReady a very cost effective way to manage their injuries; cutting down on the need for larger doses of medicine; limiting any reaction to exercise therapy and allowing them to wake up the next day feeling stronger and more mobile.
