Background

The Game Ready GRPro 2.1 is a cold and compression unit that utilizes different styles of compression wraps combined with cold therapy to better enhance surgery or injury recovery. The GRPro 2.1 circulates water through the wrap while compressing, reducing swelling and pain. This technique is part of Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, also known as RICE. The GRPro 2.1 innovates and combines this technique all into a simple unit. The unit itself is portable, containing a battery pack and a carry bag for convenience.

Therapeutic hypothermia, the act of using the cold to heal the body, has been around for a long time. The first known use of this tactic can be traced to 3,500 B.C.E., by a man named Edwin Papyrus. Ever since, different techniques and therapies have been practiced, evolving over time, transforming into the cold therapy we see today.

There are many benefits for using cold therapy, such as the portability factor of the unit. Due to the use of compression, it is also more beneficial than using ice therapy. It has also been known to lessen opioid use.
