The powerful Game Ready system provides optimal therapeutic benefits following injury or surgery. The dual action wrap combines cryotherapy with intermittent compression. These actions together help reduce fluid and limit bleeding within the joint that can cause pain and swelling. At the tissue level, blood vessels constrict and fluid outflow into the interstitial space is reduced. Cryotherapy can reduce the number of white blood cells that migrate to the injury or surgical site, reduce the release of inflammatory chemicals, and help slow down the conduction of pain nerve signals. In combination, these therapeutic benefits reduce pain and swelling and help lower opioid use. To learn more about the Game Ready system, visit us at gameready.com.
