Always be Game Ready

game-ready

Often with injury comes inflammation. In order for the Combine athletes to be able to train and heal we need to control and eliminate their inflammation. It is equally as important to control inflammation/ swelling in all of our clients especially with acute or post surgical conditions. After their training sessions, the football athletes return to ProActive Physical therapy for modalities. We often use Game Ready as an excellent tool to help with controlling swelling/ inflammation. Game Ready® is a leader in active compression and cold therapy technology for acute injury treatment and post-operative recovery.

With Game Ready, we simultaneously apply active pneumatic (air) compression and adjustable cold therapy to reduce swelling, minimize pain, and speed and enhance your body’s natural healing abilities. The pumping action mimics your body’s natural process to flush out cellular debris and replenish nutrients and freshly oxygenated blood. Reducing edema helps your body heal faster, reduces pain, and improves range of motion at the same time. During each client’s evaluation, the physical therapists at ProActive Physical Therapy can determine and explain the need for cold therapy. And it’s not just for elite athletes only! Here at ProActive Physical Therapy we take a lot of pride in getting all our clients to be “game ready”, no matter what your “game” is!
