How it works
Inside a game ready ice compressions session.
Wrap the area
A form-fitting sleeve wraps around the joint or muscle group being treated.
Deliver controlled cold
Chilled water circulates through the wrap at a therapist-set temperature, consistent, never dangerous.
Add rhythmic compression
Programmed pressure cycles push swelling out and pull fresh blood in as pressure releases.
Guide next steps
We use the calmer tissue to layer manual therapy, e-stim, or targeted mobility work.

Will my PPO cover game ready ice compressions if I live in Westminster?

What should I wear to game ready ice compressions if I am driving from Westminster?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from Little Saigon, give yourself a few extra minutes on I-405 / CA-22 interchange at rush hour.
Is Game Ready Ice Compressions the right next step if I live in Westminster?
Game Ready pairs deep cold with intermittent pneumatic compression in a single wrap, so you get the anti-inflammatory benefit of ice plus the swelling clearance of pumping compression. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
Is this the same as regular ice?
No. Regular ice is inconsistent (too cold in one spot, warming quickly in another) and doesn’t move fluid. Game Ready delivers steady cold plus a pumping mechanical action to clear swelling.
How soon after an injury should I use it?
As soon as possible in the first 48-72 hours. It’s also a great weekly-recovery tool for athletes.
