Recovery
NICE develops iceless cold therapy technology. Its precision engineered devices are scientifically proven to accelerate recovery and maximize performance.
Trusted by professional teams
NICE1 cold and compression therapy
An iceless machine that holds a set temperature and delivers programmable pneumatic compression through a wrap fitted to the treated joint. Surgeons write it into post-operative protocols for knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, spine, elbow, wrist, and residual limb recovery.
Available as a rental, delivered to your home with the wrap for the joint you had worked on.
ROCC palm cooling device
Palm cooling draws heat out through the hands during rest between efforts. Athletes use the ROCC to hold strength and stamina deeper into training sessions and competition.
