Swipe for everything your physio probably wishes you already knew. 🙏
If you’re preparing for surgery, whether it’s an ACL, a rotor cuff or a hip replacement, the preparation you do now shapes the recovery you’ll have.
Below are the three things that matter most, and why considering a Physiolab S1 cryo compression therapy unit belongs by your side from day one.
1. The first 72 hours matter more than most people think.
After surgery, your body’s inflammatory response peaks within the first three days. This is when swelling is at its worst — and when the right intervention has the biggest impact on everything that follows.
2. Swelling is manageable, but only if you have the right tools.
Cryo compression combines controlled cold with graduated pressure to reduce swelling at the source. But not every device reaches the temperature the science says is needed — 10–15°C at the skin surface. The tool you use matters as much as using one at all.
3. Consistency beats intensity in recovery.
A single long ice session does far less than short, regular, controlled treatments applied throughout the day. The body responds to repetition and rhythm — not one-off efforts. That’s why the ability to repeat a precise treatment every 2–3 hours is one of the most important things the Physiolab S1 makes possible.
