Cold therapy is a time-tested method for obtaining relief from pain, especially when you are injured, strain a muscle, or are recovering from surgery. This technique is part of the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) method for healing and is widely used across the world. One of the common ways to utilize cold therapy is with an ice pack held in place with an elastic bandage.

Advances in technology have made it easier to apply cold therapy when you need it. Cold therapy systems work by circulating water through an ice reservoir. The reservoir connects to a wrap that provides the element of compression, which may help reduce swelling. With a cold therapy unit, you get the combined benefits of therapeutic cold and targeted pressure to aid in your healing.

Cold therapy machines like cold therapy system pad, water cooling mattress, cold therapy compression device and DVT prevention device may be recommended by physicians, athletic trainers and physical therapists alike for one of many reasons including:

More Efficient than Ice

The combination of compression and cold has been clinically proven to be more effective than ice therapy alone.1 Cold alleviates pain and reduces swelling by restricting blood flow to the area, and compression also reduces swelling and allows the therapeutic cold to penetrate deeper and last longer.
