Total knee replacement recovery is no small thing. You are dealing with significant swelling, disrupted sleep, and trying to do physio exercises when your knee feels like it weighs twice as much as it should.

Cold and compression directly after a session or before bed makes a real difference to how the knee feels and how much sleep you actually get. The CryoPush runs continuously so you can fall asleep without worrying about it going warm. Hire in Christchurch, deliver to your door. Link in bio.

ACL surgery is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures, and the recovery is genuinely hard work. The first few weeks are the most important and often the least supported.

The ACL Recovery Package combines a CryoPush ice compression machine with either Normatec Compression Boots or a Compex EMS muscle stimulator - covering swelling, pain, and muscle maintenance at the same time. It is what our physio team would recommend for anyone serious about giving their knee the best start after surgery.

Some injuries just need more coverage than a knee wrap can give you.

Quad tendon repairs, hamstring reattachments, tibial plateau fractures - the swelling on these spreads well above and below the joint, and a standard knee wrap only addresses part of it. The CryoPush Full Leg wrap runs from the upper thigh to the ankle and covers the whole limb in one session. Same machine, bigger wrap, same continuous cold and compression.

Shoulder surgery recovery is slow at the best of times. The last thing you need is waking up at 2am to reheat your ice pack.

The CryoPush Shoulder wrap stays cold for the full session without you having to do anything - cold water circulates continuously through the wrap while compression keeps swelling down. It fits over the shoulder and upper arm, so whether it is a rotator cuff repair or a stabilisation procedure you are covered. Hire in Christchurch, delivery to your door. Link in bio.

Most people ice after ACL surgery to manage pain. That makes sense, but the more important reason is what swelling does to your quad.

Excess fluid in the knee joint inhibits your quadriceps through a process called arthrogenic muscle inhibition. Essentially, the swelling itself prevents your brain from fully activating the muscle - which is why getting your quad back is often the hardest part of early ACL rehab. Controlling swelling from day one is not just about comfort. It directly affects how quickly you can start contracting your quad, which sets the pace for everything that follows in your rehab

Recovery doesn’t stop when training does.

The Compex Muscle Stimulator isn’t just for post-surgical rehab — it’s used by athletes for active recovery between sessions, reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and accelerating the return to training.

The recovery mode sends gentle electrical impulses that increase blood flow, reduce lactic acid build-up, and relax tight, fatigued muscles. Think of it as a passive massage that works while you sit still.

Train harder. Recover smarter.

Don’t let winter sideline you longer than it has to.

RecoveryTec delivers professional recovery equipment straight to your door — so you can recover at home, on your schedule.

Want to build or maintain muscle — but can’t load heavy right now?

Blood Flow Restriction training lets you get a high-intensity stimulus at low resistance. By partially restricting venous outflow, BFR creates the metabolic environment needed for muscle growth — without the joint stress.

This is why BFR is used not just in rehab, but by athletes during deload phases, in-season maintenance, and injury prevention.

✅ Light weights. ✅ Big stimulus. ✅ Joint-friendly.

Ask your physio if BFR is appropriate for your stage of recovery.

Most people don’t realise recovery happens in phases — and the tools that help in week 1 are different to what helps in week 8.

Phase 1 (Days 1–5): Inflammation is your body’s first response. Cold therapy + compression = your best friend here.
🟡 Phase 2 (Days 5–21): New tissue forms. Gentle movement + muscle stimulation help.
🟢 Phase 3 (Weeks 3+): Tissue remodels. Strength work + BFR can fast-track your return.

Save this for your recovery journey. 📌
