There is perhaps no more common reason for a patient to require physical therapy than as a result of a sports injury. Sports injuries—strains, sprains, breaks, or tears—almost always require months of physical therapy, rehabilitation, and treatment.
Because of how frequently sports injuries occur, the need for physical therapy equipment for the treatment or recovery of athletes is at an all-time high—and there are few companies as successful at providing customers with reliable, effective physical therapy products as Game Ready, a collection of physical therapy systems manufactured by CoolSystems, Inc.
Game Ready represents a selection of cutting-edge products including cold compression therapy units and mobile therapy systems that provide much-needed relief and even enhance healing and recovery times during physical therapy. The product line, according to the Game Ready mission webpage, provides “the most innovative and effective products for helping people get back to being their best after injury or surgery.”
This dedication can be seen in items such as the Game Ready Pro 2.1 Cold and Compression Therapy Unit and the Game Ready Wraps for the Pro 2.1 or MED4 Elite Therapy Units. These products merge unique, supportive designs ideal for athletes of all ages with the product line’s advanced therapy-delivering technologies.
Game Ready’s commitment to innovation in recovery can be clearly seen in the product line’s patented technologies, which deliver therapy via new and inventive methods. The dual-action Active Temperature Exchange (ATX) Wraps used in the product line divide air and water circulation into two separate compartments to provide maximum skin contact and get blood flowing more quickly to damaged tissue.
This dual method gives the wraps their highly-praised ability to provide consistent compression therapy in combination with hot and cold therapy, which encourages greater cellular oxygen supply in the treated areas. The Active Compression and Cold Exchange Loop (ACCEL) technology functions within the Game Ready units and manages the therapy process in the ATX Wraps.
Game Ready products are an essential addition to any locker room, physical therapy clinic, athletic trainer’s office, or rehabilitation center. Specifically, the Game Ready mission webpage notes that the products are perfect for “…elite athletes, athletic trainers, professional teams in every sport, special military forces, and the world’s foremost orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, and physical therapists.”
The size and diversity of the groups that can benefit from using Game Ready products serves as a testament to their high quality and consistently proven results!
Given the diversity of individuals who can benefit from the use of Game Ready products, there is a similarly large amount of positive feedback to be found from Game Ready customers! Here are just a few of the many reviews found online that have been submitted by satisfied customers who have enjoyed their Game Ready products:
"Started using (a Game Ready Professional Kit) at physical therapy after my total hip replacement. My surgical leg never felt so good. I absolutely love the combination of cold and compression therapy at the same time. Amazing. I wish I’d bought one the day after surgery and used it every day thereafter." – Game Ready Customer
"These units are well worth the money. Very well made and durable. Compression and ice at the same time is perfect for injury rehab. A true must-have to get healed as soon as possible." – Game Ready Customer
"I have been going to physical therapy after a knee dislocation several months ago. I wish I would have known about this thing sooner. This machine is the best thing ever! The added effect of not only a consistent and variable temperature but adjustable compression as well is what makes it so special. I would definitely recommend it for any PT clinic if it can be worked into the budget." – Game Ready Customer
