Just Try to Slow Him Down

As a warehouse supervisor, Bob P. is an active guy. He’s busy, and he’s on his feet a lot. For someone like Bob, —needless to say—a bum knee was a big problem.  

It got to the point that he needed total replacement of his left knee—also called total knee arthroplasty (arthro = joint, plasty = change/repair). 

Bob had heard of the Game Ready cold and compression system from a friend and asked his provider for a prescription. His orthopedic surgeon recommended cold and compression therapy before and after the surgery. Clinical evidence supports that GAME READY products may lead to lower post-operative blood loss.1  

A few hours after the procedure, Bob’s doctor used another cold and compression therapy machine on his knee. But having used Game Ready before his knee replacement, Bob knew right away which one he preferred. At home, he also tried ice packs, but found the Game Ready unit gave him more relief from pain and stiffness. It makes sense: the clinically proven Game Ready System integrates cold and compression therapies to help reduce pain and edema - outperforming conventional rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) methods!2

A little over two weeks after surgery, Bob found he could do a lot of his rehab exercises without much pain.  He wanted to get back to his life as soon as possible, so on top of using his Game Ready unit, he followed his doctor’s instructions and did all the exercises recommended by his physical therapists. We really appreciate Bob taking the time to film parts of his journey, and we’re so excited to see he’s doing well.
