Iceman Machine
The IceMan cold therapy unit is a cold and compressions device that helps reduce pain and swelling, assisting rehabilitation and recovery. It utilises a specially designed re-circulation system, which helps maintain more consistent and accurate temperatures than other competitive cold therapy units, in a pre-set configuration. It is both comfortable and convenient to use as well as being easy to transport and store. It comes with a complete range of “joint specific” cold pads to help deliver the cold therapy to where it is needed most.

Compex Machine
Compex machines are a form of neuromuscular electronic simulations which when added to your rehabilitation programme can help to maximise your muscular effort by engaging a greater percentage of your muscle fibres.
Put very simply, the machine generates electrical impulses which can invoke a deeper and more sustained muscle contraction. It can be a highly effective treatment tool for speeding up post-operative recovery with less risk to surrounding joints/tendon and without the need for cardiovascular fatigue.
It has also been shown to be effective in helping with:
- Pain management
- Reducing muscle tension
- Relaxing and reviving massage
- Capilliarisation
- Lymphatic drainage
- Rental Price: £36 (for two-week period)
- To Buy: £300 (price may vary slightly depending on manufacturers seasonal offers)
*note: single use pads needs to be purchased separately and cost £5 per pack*
