Game Ready at MIHP

Game Ready is a popular tool for recovering from training or competitions, as well as to help the rehabilitation process after an injury. This smart piece of equipment circulates ice-cold water and air through two different chambers, combining compression and cold therapy.

Game Ready has been shown to decrease pain and swelling, increase blood flow and oxygen to the injury site and stimulate tissue healing. That’s why it can be used to treat a wide range soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries.

Who can use Game Ready?

Game Ready is suitable for athletes or individuals of any size, ability level and sports discipline.

Can I rent Game Ready?

Yes due to its portability you can rent out Game Ready, provided you or your support staff are familiar with the device.

Alternatively, you can use the device in the facility and one of our experts will help with the setup as required.

How does Game Ready work?

The Game Ready equipment comes with a control unit and dual-action anatomical wraps to maximise surface area in contact with the body.

Simply attach the relevant anatomical wrap to the target area, and the system will provide intermittent compression and cold water from an ice reservoir in the control unit, which circulates through a chamber inside the wrap.
