Game Ready (Cryotherapy)

Game Ready (Cryotherapy)

At Ataraxia, we are proud to offer Game Ready Cryotherapy, an advanced therapeutic tool that integrates iceless cold, controllable heat, contrast, and compression therapies. This comprehensive treatment option is designed to help patients and athletes recover more efficiently from various injuries and surgeries.

Game Ready Cryotherapy combines the principles of R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to reduce pain and swelling from soft tissue injuries. It is particularly effective for sprains, strains, pulled muscles, and ligaments. Orthopedic surgeons also recommend it following surgery due to its ability to lower the temperature of injured tissue, reduce the tissue’s metabolic rate, and help it survive the critical period following an injury.

Game Ready systems and wraps feature a patented, dual-action ATX™ (Active Temperature Exchange) design, which enables the simultaneous circulation of ice water and air. This active pneumatic (air) compression helps to:

  • Pump Away Swelling: Stimulate the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the affected area.
  • Enhance Blood Flow: Slow cell death, limit tissue damage, and aid in the removal of cellular debris and waste products.
  • Promote Faster Healing: Prevent tissue damage, encourage healthy circulation, and stimulate tissue repair.

The constant exchange of cold water with warmer water ensures the injury site receives the same cold temperature for the duration of the therapy session. Consistent cooling allows the therapeutic cold to penetrate deeper, benefiting more of the recovering tissue with reduced swelling, pain, and edema. A deeper, consistent cooling effect lasts longer after the therapy session, providing ongoing benefits from compression cooling therapy. Specialized wraps cover more surface area than a simple ice pack, allowing the therapeutic cold to reach all damaged tissue in the injured area uniformly. Effective cooling compression therapy means less pain during recovery, enabling patients to benefit more from physical therapy. All these factors combine to provide quicker healing and faster recovery from injuries or surgery, helping patients return to their normal activities sooner.

At Ataraxia, we are dedicated to providing the best care and innovative treatments to enhance your recovery process. Game Ready Cryotherapy is a highly recommended option for both acute injury management and post-operative therapy, offering numerous benefits to support your rehabilitation journey.
