01 / What it is

Cold therapy and compression, working together

The Game Ready Recovery System pairs intermittent pneumatic compression with continuous cold water circulation in a single wrap, delivered through ACCEL technology — the combination sports medicine teams reach for after surgery or significant soft tissue injury, when controlling swelling early changes the whole recovery timeline.

Game Ready control unit, ankle/knee wrap and carry case included with hire
Everything included with your hire — control unit, carry case and your choice of ankle or knee wrap.

Cold

Continuous, controlled cooling

Iced water circulates through a wrap moulded to the ankle or knee, holding a steady, adjustable temperature for the full session rather than warming up the way an ice pack does.

Compression

Rhythmic, pain-guided pressure

The same wrap inflates and releases in a set pattern, encouraging fluid to move away from the injury site. Pressure is set and can be adjusted throughout your recovery.

01

Used in NBA, NFL, AFL and Olympic training rooms as a standard part of post-operative and acute injury protocols.

02 / Who it's for

Common reasons our patients hire Game Ready

Post-surgical recovery

ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, ankle reconstruction and other ankle or knee surgery where early swelling control matters.

Acute sporting injuries

Ankle sprains, knee ligament sprains and strains, and other swelling-heavy soft tissue injuries to the ankle or knee from sport.

Persistent swelling

Joint effusion or lingering swelling that hasn't settled with rest, basic icing or compression bandaging alone.

High training loads

Athletes managing tournament schedules, back-to-back games, or a heavy event block who need faster turnaround between sessions.

Is Game Ready right for you?

We'll confirm whether it's appropriate as part of your assessment, but it's typically recommended for:

Post-operative patients

Recovering from ankle or knee surgery and needing swelling and pain control at home.

Acute sports injuries

Sprains, strains and impact injuries where early swelling control makes a real difference in recovery time.

In-season athletes

Managing training and match load, or recovering between a heavy part of the season.

Chronic or overuse conditions

Ongoing joint irritation or flare-ups where regular, controlled cold and compression aid day-to-day management.

03 / Pricing

Simple weekly or monthly hire
