Game Ready takes the guesswork out of ice and compression and gives me peace of mind that I am doing the best I can do to get back into action following an injury and stay healthy throughout the season.

I am currently competing as a contestant on the fourth season of NBC’s weight-loss reality show The Biggest Loser and honestly, I don’t think that I could have had the success that I’ve had on the show in the absence of the Game Ready device, considering how often I needed to use it.

In June of 2003, I was able to achieve my goal and become the U.S. National Champion in the long jump. I have no doubt in my mind that the Game Ready System helped me achieve this goal….By using Game Ready as part of my regular recovery, I’m now aiming at becoming one of the best in the world. Thank you Game Ready!

Since using the unit my recovery has been fantastic. So far, I’ve reached my rehab goals at least 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule! My surgeon said it was the best recovery from ACL surgery he’s seen. My limp is gone and I’m already riding motocross three times a week, one month ahead of schedule! Thanks so much!

My use of the Game Ready unit helped me greatly to sustain my leg strength and durability after my career-threatening injury.

Jerry Rice | Future NFL Hall-of-Famer

This system is worth its weight in gold! Game Ready was great for minimizing the pain and swelling after having surgery. I had the confidence to rehab much more aggressively knowing that if I pushed myself further and caused any pain or swelling, the Game Ready System would immediately reduce the pain and swelling.

Kenny Roberts Jr. | Road Racing Champion


Game Ready really helps to speed up my recovery, improving my overall training. As a system, it is so easy to use and so much more effective and efficient than a conventional ice pack. The combination of active compression and cold therapy really makes a difference.

I am a patient of the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic and have used the Game Ready System countless times. It is awesome for reducing pain and allowing me to rehab faster and more comfortably. THANKS!

Phoo Klawsky | Patient


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My dad used your miracle machine two weeks ago, and it has helped him tremendously. I’m amazed. His wrist isn’t sore or swollen, he’s off painkillers and he’s starting to return to normal activities.

[With Game Ready] I simply slipped into the back wrap, no help needed, and I could cool my back to an optimal temperature. I could also comfortably wear the Game Ready unit for extended periods, using the time to get my therapy and relax with a book or in front of the TV at the same time.

Tarryn D. Larson Rozen | Patient


I recently had a fractured right ankle and sprained it on a Sunday. I was provided the Game Ready System to use on a Monday. I was immediately in heaven from the moment I put it on. Between the compression and cooling, it helped me instantaneously with pain relief and to get the swelling under control…I continued using Game Ready over the cast for a week. The swelling went down permanently one week sooner than expected…There is no doubt in my mind that the initial cooling and compression provided by this system helped to accelerate the healing for me!

Bob Willis | Patient

The cooling and compression effect was the only thing that quieted my ankle down enough that I could actually get to sleep…without Game Ready I don’t know what I would have done.

Deborah Larson | Patient


At this point my Game Ready unit is just about my most prized possession. I use it daily once or twice and it has really helped improve my condition and has kept me on the road. I take it with me everywhere. It is simple to use, very effective, no mess, no fuss...I love it…I was so tired of getting doctor’s orders to stop running and take various pain medications to help my Achilles problem. Game Ready provides an effective, DRUG FREE way to speed recovery and has kept me running and improving at the same time. Keep up the good work!

W.B. Allen | Patient

Fighting for the UFC means I’m constantly pushing my body to its limits. After my last winning fight, I had a foot that was swollen beyond belief and my right elbow was swollen and wouldn’t straighten. That’s when I discovered Game Ready. It’s a portable ice and compression machine which rapidly removed all my swelling and inflammation, allowing me to get back to training a lot sooner than without it. Now I use my Game Ready every day. It flushes the toxins out of my muscles and allows for faster healing. This means I can train just as hard on Friday as I do on Monday. Watch out middleweights!

Utilizing Game Ready following orthopedic procedures, we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in post-operative pain, a decrease in hospital stays and quicker return to work or athletic participation. Game Ready is an essential part of accelerated post-operative recovery.

I’ve seen a two-fold increase in recovery rates. Guys are back in half the time.

I have had the opportunity to utilize the Game Ready application on a variety of post-injury and post-operative orthopedic physical therapy situations. We have found this application of cold and compression to be of vital importance in the areas of decreasing pain and swelling. Patients have commented that they like this method of cold application because it is not as offensive to their tissue as a cold pack. We have been able to objectively quantify decreases in swelling and edema on pre- and post-treatment bases. In some situations, the reduction has been dramatic. During the initial application on a post ankle fracture we were able to measure a decrease of 2cm in mid-calf circumference with a 15-minute application.

The effectiveness of combining ice therapy and compression has been touted for years for acute musculoskeletal injury but Game Ready takes such therapy to a whole new level. I truly believe you have a winning product and would recommend your product without hesitation whenever cryotherapy is indicated. Thank you for bringing the product to our surgery center!

No other system commercially available provides both compression and cold therapy as effectively as Game Ready. In addition, it has a built-in safety measure to guard against thermal or pressure injury and therefore makes it ideal for home- or self-treatment.

Arthur Ting, MD | Orthopedic Surgeon

Game Ready is the best system I’ve ever seen for the treatment of acute or chronic injury. I know the Game Ready System works well, because every time I apply it to one of our Special Warfare Operators, I can consistently—and most importantly—objectively measure a one half centimeter reduction in post exercise edema response. I highly recommend it to anyone working with athletes who need to get back into action as quickly as possible.

Athlete recovery has been enhanced after competitive games using Game Ready. In addition to competition recovery I have recently been shocked by the great response to sub-acute edema and effusion after knee replacements and Achilles tendon repairs, making this a versatile and valuable tool. I came to a plateau with a very difficult knee replacement and after 2 consecutive day treatments with Game Ready, knee ROM increased from 75 to 87 degrees pre-treatment. This device has saved that patient 3-5 weeks of unnecessary rehabilitation in my opinion.

Our players fight over who will get to use the Game Ready System! Seriously, we have had excellent results with Game Ready…it’s very easy to use, convenient, and effective. Thanks for making Game Ready available to the Buccaneers.

Patients are singing its praises. I have spoken to two patients the morning after their surgery and they couldn’t say enough. One of the patients had taken no pain meds at all and the other stated her pain level decreased from a level 5 to 2 within a half hour of the Game Ready being applied.

Maggie Cladwell, RN | Beltway Surgery Center

I’ve seen the Game Ready System work on athletes and non-athletes alike. Everything from minor ankle sprains to total knee replacements can benefit from the use of this terrific rehab tool. It’s user friendly too!

Jennifier Johnsrud | Certified Athletic Trainer


We have used the Game Ready System on all types of patients ranging from ankle sprains to total hips, total knees, knee arthroscopies, shoulder arthroscopies, and many other types of injuries. The results of swelling reduction are quite simply the best I have seen in 12 years of practice. The patients tend to like the results as well as the treatment itself.

Alan Ridenoure | Certified Athletic Trainer

I am a very active physical therapist who just had a menisectomy and lateral release with a complication of a large hematoma. I had difficulty being in an upright position without my leg elevated due to 3 inches of swelling. With the use of Game Ready’s specialized compression with ice, I have been able to return to work and make a significant change in one week. I will now use it with athletes and post surgical patients since I have seen the significant results on myself.
