Ice Therapy Rentals
What is Ice Therapy, and Why Rent an Ice Therapy Machine?
Ice therapy machines deliver targeted cold through a connected pad to help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation after surgery or injury. Unlike basic ice packs, these systems maintain a consistent temperature and continuous flow, making them more effective for extended use.
They’re commonly used after knee, shoulder, or hip surgeries, especially during the critical first few days of recovery when swelling is at its peak. Renting offers a cost-effective option for short-term recovery, without the commitment of buying equipment you’ll only use for a week or two.

In most cases, no. Ice therapy machines are not covered by Medicare or standard insurance plans. That’s why renting is such a popular option; it keeps things affordable without the long-term commitment.
Cold therapy helps reduce swelling, minimize pain, and speed up the healing process. For people recovering from surgery, like a knee replacement, shoulder repair, or rotator cuff procedure, it can make those first few days far more manageable. Compared to ice packs, machines offer longer-lasting relief with less hassle.
The machine circulates ice-cold water through a soft, flexible pad that wraps around your injured area. This constant flow maintains a steady cold temperature, helping reduce inflammation and pain without the mess of melting ice.
Alternatives include reusable gel packs, compression braces, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. Some patients also use elevation, rest, and guided exercises from physical therapy. Ice therapy machines can complement these approaches or serve as a lower-effort way to stay consistent with pain management at home.
Most rentals last 1–2 weeks, depending on your recovery plan. We offer flexible terms, so you can extend your rental if you’re still healing or return it early if you no longer need it.
