The Reliever helps decrease pain, swelling, and reliance on pain pills by gently and intermittently compressing your limb while circulating ICELESS cold water. This combination of compression and cold is what makes the Reliever such a valuable therapy. It accelerates the first 2-4 weeks of recovery to get you back to your normal life sooner.

The Reliever is set to a safe but effective temperature that will relieve your pain without risk of hurting you. It cycles on and off to provide the easiest recovery possible while preventing tissue damage or frostbite. It can be used continuously 24 hours a day (without the risk of frostbite) after surgery.

The Reliever unit is the size of a small toolbox.

When we deliver your equipment we will instruct you on how use the equipment with your specific sling or brace. We want you to get the most relief and have the quickest recovery possible.

You could use your friend’s equipment, but it may not have all the benefits and features of the Rapid Recovery Reliever. The Reliever helps decrease pain, swelling, and reliance on pain pills by gently and intermittently compressing your limb while circulating ICELESS cold water 24 hours per day (without the risk of frostbite) or as often as your surgeon recommends. This combination of compression and cold is what makes the Reliever such a valuable therapy. If you do use an ice bucket type product please take care to protect yourself from frostbite by limiting the length of use and temperature of the therapy.

Your physician has prescribed the Reliever because they believe it is beneficial to your recovery. Ultimately, it is your right to accept or decline the equipment. It is another tool that you can use to accelerate your recovery and get back to the rest of your life.

The Mover helps safely move your arm/leg through its natural range of motion earlier and more often than traditional protocols. Passive motion provided by the Mover leads to greater flexibility and less pain after orthopedic surgeries. Our goal is to move you from the recovery room to the rest of your life as quickly as possible.

Our Shoulder Mover is the size of a dining room chair. Our knee Mover is 3 or 4 feet long and a foot wide, perfect for using on a bed or a couch.

When we deliver your equipment we will instruct you on how to utilize the equipment with your specific sling or brace. The doctors want your arm/leg to move without using your muscles and straining their repair. Our continuous passive motion device helps accomplish that.

Your physician has prescribed the equipment because he/she believes it will be beneficial to your recovery. Ultimately it is your right to accept or decline the equipment. However, the Mover will help speed up the recovery process and get you back to the rest of your life.

The Mover provides continuous passive motion. The Mover will slowly and safely move your arm/leg after surgery without your muscles doing the work. It helps reclaim flexibility and reduce pain while promoting healing and increasing range of motion.

Our Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention device, the Preventer, is an integral part of your post-surgical complication protection strategy. It will help protect you from developing a DVT (blood clot) by gently squeezing your lower leg. This promotes blood flow and helps reduce the chance of a clot forming.

Out of the many options available including blood thinners, your physician has selected mechanical compression to protect you from DVT without the risk of pharmaceutical side effects. If you have any questions regarding your options, you should consult your physician.

The Preventer is about the size of a small paperback book.

Due to the potentially high risk of developing a DVT, your physician has prescribed the Preventer. Ultimately, it is your choice to recover with the best equipment available or you can check with your physician about alternatives.

A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in your calf. It often occurs after surgery because patients aren’t up and moving around as much as usual. If the clot that forms in your leg breaks loose it can move to your lungs and create a life-threatening complication.

The Preventer does reduce the risk of developing a clot; however, with any prevention method there is still a small risk of blood clots forming.
