Recover Faster with Game Ready Ice & Compression Therapy in Chelmsford

Chelmsford Physio • May 14, 2025

If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or stiffness due to an injury, trauma, or surgery, our 360º approach to your health and well-being is designed to help you heal quicker—and get back to doing what you love.


As part of your personalised treatment plan at Chelmsford Physio, your clinician may recommend Game Ready Ice & Compression Therapy—a professional-level system now available to rent directly through our clinic.


What Is the Game Ready System?

The Game Ready system combines active cold therapy with compression treatment in one powerful, easy-to-use solution. It’s the same technology used by elite sports teams, athletes, and rehabilitation professionals to manage pain, reduce swelling, and speed up recovery.


Unlike traditional icing methods, the Game Ready machine delivers consistent cold therapy while applying intermittent compression, allowing deeper penetration into injured tissues. This helps target inflammation more effectively and provides faster, more complete recovery.


How It Works

The system uses a specially designed sleeve that wraps around the injured area. Cold water is continuously circulated through the sleeve in a loop, drawing out heat and reducing inflammation.


At the same time, the outer layer of the wrap inflates with air to provide compression. This combination helps limit swelling, improve lymphatic drainage, and mould the wrap closely to the body—optimising the effect of cold therapy.


Benefits of Game-Ready Therapy

Game Ready therapy isn’t just a fancy ice pack. It’s a proven medical-grade system with real physical benefits:


  • Reduces pain, swelling, and muscle spasms
  • Decreases inflammation at a deeper tissue level
  • Promotes faster healing and tissue regeneration
  • Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to the affected area


Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury, or simply looking for a smarter way to reduce swelling and discomfort, Game Ready is a powerful addition to your rehab plan.


Is Game Ready Therapy Right for You?

Game Ready can support recovery from a range of conditions and procedures. It’s particularly effective for:


✅ Sports & Exercise Injuries

Struggling with a niggle or acute injury? Game Ready helps reduce downtime and improve resilience, so you can return to training stronger.


✅ Pre & Post-Operative Rehab

Planning surgery or already in recovery? This treatment can help prepare your body pre-op and accelerate healing post-op with less swelling and pain.


At Chelmsford Physio, our specialist clinicians integrate game-ready therapy into bespoke treatment programmes that put you at the centre. With no time limits on appointments, expert guidance, and access to premium technology like Game Ready, we give you the best possible chance of making a full recovery.

Females are generally at a higher risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries compared to males. The evidence now suggests that females can be x8 times more likely to suffer an ACL injury compared to their male counterparts. Why is this? Several factors contribute to this increased risk in females: 1. Anatomical Differences: Females typically have a wider pelvis, which can affect the alignment of the knee joint and increase stress on the ACL. 2. Hormonal Factors: Hormones, particularly estrogen, may influence ligament laxity and strength, potentially affecting the stability of the knee. 3. Biomechanics: Women often exhibit different movement patterns, such as increased knee valgus (inward collapse of the knee) and less hip and knee flexion during activities like jumping and landing. 4. Neuromuscular Control: Females may have less neuromuscular control, which can affect their ability to stabilise the knee during physical activity. These factors combined contribute to the higher incidence of ACL injuries among females, especially in sports that involve jumping, cutting, and rapid changes in direction.
