Cryo compression therapy

Cryo compression therapy

This helps healing, but it also creates swelling and pressure within the joint. Compression combined with cold has been proven to reduce pain and swelling, while enhancing recovery.

Compression support

Compression support

A note on injection therapies: these are administered by a clinician, so rather than sourcing them yourself, start by finding a Centre of Excellence near you. They will assess whether an injection is right for you and arrange it.
