Recover Faster. Move Better. Get Back to What Matters.

 

What Is It?

Our cryo compression units are medical-grade recovery systems used by surgeons, physios, and elite athletes to accelerate recovery after surgery or injury.

This isn’t just an ice pack.

It’s a precision-controlled system that combines cold therapy + active compression to reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time—right from the comfort of your home.

Used extensively after:

• Knee reconstruction surgery (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL & Meniscus etc) 
• Shoulder & ankle surgery
• Joint replacements
• Soft tissue injuries

Hire Information

• Ankle, Knee & Shoulder Cuffs Available  

How It Works

The system uses a dual-action wrap connected to a control unit that delivers:

1. Continuous Cold Therapy

Cold water is circulated through the wrap, keeping the treatment area at a consistent temperature for extended periods.

• Removes heat from the injured area
• Reduces inflammation and tissue damage
• Provides long-lasting pain relief

Unlike ice packs, the temperature stays stable and effective throughout the session.

2. Active Compression (The Game Changer)

The unit also applies intermittent pneumatic compression, inflating and deflating around the joint.

• Mimics natural muscle contractions
• Pumps swelling away from the joint
• Enhances lymphatic drainage
• Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery

This combination is what makes it significantly more effective than traditional ice alone.

 

 

The Science Behind It

After surgery, your body enters an inflammatory phase, this is necessary, but too much swelling slows recovery.

Cryo compression works by controlling this process:

• Reduces pain and swelling (edema)
• Decreases muscle spasms
• Improves circulation and oxygen delivery
• Supports faster tissue healing

By combining cold + compression, the system actively assists your body’s natural healing mechanisms, rather than just treating symptoms.

*The first 10 days post surgery is critical for above.

 

Why It’s Better Than Ice Packs

Traditional methods (RICE) are passive.

This system is active recovery technology:

Ice Packs	Cryo Compression
Temperature drops quickly	Consistent, controlled cold
No compression	Active pumping effect
Short treatment time	Longer, more effective sessions
Surface-level cooling	Deeper, longer-lasting therapy

 

Clinical use shows it can:

• Reduce reliance on pain medication
• Improve post-op recovery experience
• Help patients progress faster through rehab

Who It’s For

This is ideal for anyone who wants to recover properly, not just get by:

• Post-surgical patients
• Athletes returning from injury
• Anyone dealing with significant swelling or joint pain

If your goal is to speed up recovery and reduce setbacks, this is one of the most effective tools available.

Why We Offer This

Most people leave surgery with:

• Minimal guidance
• Basic ice packs
• And a “wait it out” approach

We believe you can do better.

This is about taking control of your recovery, reducing complications, and getting back to your life faster.
