Game ReadyGame Ready utilizes pneumatic compression and cryotherapy to promote cellular oxygen supply and stimulate tissue repair. It follows the RICE principles (Rest–Ice–Compression–Elevation) after a musculoskeletal injury or surgery
Treats: pain and swelling, muscle spasms; enhance lymphatic function |

Game Ready machines produce a decrease in temperature that acts gradually to areas around it. Additionally, it causes varying degrees of compression at the site throughout the treatment session. This aides in improving lymphatic function, encourages cellular oxygen supply, decreases swelling and pain, and aides in stimulating tissue repair in patients who have recently suffered acute injury or undergone orthopedic surgery. There are different sleeves that can be applied, and the Game Ready unit is designed for each of the major joints throughout the body.
Thermodynamics
Game Ready machines utilize heat-transfer mechanisms which allows the human body to exchange heat with the surface of the compressive sleeve. The process of cryotherapy cause the skin and tissue of the targeted area to be cooled to a temperature for optimum recovery
1st Law of Thermodynamics = heat is a form of energy that transfers from one body to another as a result of temperature differences between them
Arrhenius equation = shows effect of a change of temperature on the rate constant - and therefore on the rate of the reaction.
Conduction = heat is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature; more heat is transferred if the temperature difference is larger
Convection = transfer of thermal energy by the motion of a fluid; transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) between areas of different temperature
