Are you seeking an innovative solution to speed up your recovery from injury, surgery, or chronic pain? Spectrum Healthcare, conveniently situated in North Ryde and serving the Macquarie Park area, provides the revolutionary Game Ready system to help you return to doing what you love more quickly.

What is Game Ready, and why would you choose it?

The Game Ready system is a revolutionary tool in recovery. It combines the benefits of cold and hot therapy with active compression to enhance healing.

This innovative approach targets specific physiological responses to:

• Alleviate Pain
  Cold therapy slows metabolic activity and diminishes pain signals.
• Decrease Swelling
  Cold and compression work together to minimise edema.
• Enhance Blood Flow
  Heat therapy boosts circulation, supplying essential nutrients to damaged tissues.
• Promote Muscle Relaxation
  Heat helps alleviate muscle tension and relieve pain.

The Spectrum Healthcare Advantage: Dual System & Personalised Treatment

Spectrum Healthcare proudly offers a dual Game Ready system that allows us to treat multiple patients and body regions simultaneously. Whether you're dealing with an upper limb injury (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) or a lower limb issue (thigh, knee, ankle, foot), we can tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs.

Our system enables personalised control of temperature, compression, and treatment time, ensuring a comfortable and practical experience. With our skilled team, you can use Game Ready as a standalone treatment or as a powerful complement to your manual and exercise therapy.

The Benefits of Hot and Cold Compression Therapy

Game Ready utilises contrast therapy, alternating between hot and cold to create a "pump effect" that further enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage. This process delivers nutrients to injured tissues, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain. The active compression component improves the effects of temperature therapy by reducing swelling, stimulating blood flow, and enhancing contact between the device and your skin for optimal temperature delivery.
