Game Ready > About Us

Founded on NASA technology. Game Ready® was built upon the concept that the principles behind spacesuit technology could be used to develop an injury treatment system. As a designer for NASA and an inductee into the U.S. Space Foundation’s Hall of Fame, our founder helped pioneer the technology involved in controlling pressure and temperature within a flexible garment. In 1998, we began working with athletes, athletic trainers, doctors, and engineers to expand breakthrough discoveries into the realm of sports medicine.

The first portable system. Game Ready was the first to introduce a system that simultaneously delivers intermittent compression and adjustable cold therapy. The positive feedback to our prototypes was overwhelming. Many top athletes—including Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Troy Aikman, Bruce Smith, Warren Moon, and Jack Kemp—regarded the system so highly they became part-owners in our company.

Passionate about what we do. Many of our employees are serious athletes who’ve had first-hand experience with the frustrations associated with traditional cold and compression therapies. We understand the desires of people who want nothing more than to get back to achieving their activity goals, and are driven to help them achieve those goals.
