Shoulder Recovery with Cold Therapy Unit

Cold therapy unit is an ideal and safe way to speed up recovery from any injury, including shoulder surgery, a rotator cuff tear, or any other type of shoulder injury.

Shoulder pain can be the result of a major tear in the rotator cuff, surgery, trauma, strains, accidents, falls, repetitive shoulder joint movements, poor posture, or even arthritis. This pain and discomfort can hamper your ability to move freely, thus affecting your everyday life. If conditions like rotator cuff tear or biceps tendonitis do not respond to non-surgical treatments, surgery may be recommended. Handling the pain after the surgery can be unbearable. However, cold therapy units are available that can enhance recovery from any injury or post-surgery pain thanks to advanced pain management technology.

How Cold Therapy Works

A cold therapy unit binds the power of cryotherapy and active compression together. While cryotherapy is the application of cold, traditionally with an ice pack, active compression makes your tissue get colder faster and also pumps away excess fluid. By making the temperature consistent, and using active compression, a cold therapy unit helps to make the cold penetrate deeper and last longer. Major results that you can enjoy by using this unit for shoulder recovery are – less pain, less swelling, comfortable treatment, faster and bearable recovery.

Game Ready – An FDA-approved Cold Therapy System

Game Ready is an ideal cold therapy system that can reduce the shoulder pain, swelling and inflammation associated with injuries and post-op shoulder surgery. Established rehabilitation centers use this advanced, FDA regulated system for treating a variety of musculoskeletal injuries as well as in orthopedic surgery rehabilitation.

It features patented ACCEL® Technology (Active Compression and Cold Exchange Loop) to help accelerate your recovery. With this system, you can adjust the time, temperature and pressure settings for the most effective treatment. By combining active compression and cold therapies in a revolutionary treatment system, the system enhances the shoulder pain or injury healing process by cooling the tissue, enhancing lymphatic function, encouraging cellular oxygen supply, enabling natural muscle contraction and thus stimulating tissue repair.

Compared to traditional RICE (Rest–Ice–Compression–Elevation) applications, this Game Ready System offers more therapeutic benefits such as faster and better return of motion, comfortable rehabilitation, improved pain relief and reduced risk of infection. Its easy to apply and wear shoulder wraps are ideal for potential applications including arthroscopic stabilization or repair, capsulolabral reconstruction, fracture fixations, pain management, rotator cuff repair, shoulder debridement, shoulder replacement, and sprains and strains. This flexible wraps fit comfortably and target cold therapy to the entire affected area with intermittent pneumatic compression.

Along with the control unit and dual-action wraps, the system also includes single and dual connector hoses, and several convenient accessories – including a rechargeable battery pack kit for portability and protective carry bags and wrap bags for safe storage and transport.
