How it works

Three steps from order to recovery — we handle the rest.

1

Order online

Pick your rental length, tell us your surgery date and shipping address, and pay securely. Takes about 3 minutes.

2

Delivered before surgery

Your NICE 1 unit and pad arrive at your door 1–2 days before your procedure, with a clear setup guide.

Recover, then we pick up

Use it as long as your rental covers, then we arrange a free pickup or return label. No store runs, no hassle.

FAQ

Common questions

Don't see yours? Send us a note — we usually reply same day.

What is the NICE 1?

The NICE 1 is a portable cold & compression therapy unit used for post-surgical recovery and serious athletic injuries. It circulates chilled water through a pad on your knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, or other affected area, while applying gentle compression — significantly reducing swelling and pain compared to traditional ice packs.

Will my insurance cover the rental?

Cold & compression rentals are typically not covered by insurance. We're a cash-pay service, which keeps things simple and lets us deliver next-day in most cases. Save your receipt — many HSA/FSA accounts will reimburse.

How fast can I get a unit?

If you order at least 3 days before your surgery date, we guarantee delivery before your procedure. For local Houston-area orders we can often do same-day or next-day. Contact us for rush requests.

What's included in the rental?

You get the NICE 1 control unit, the appropriate pad for your body area (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, etc.), all hoses and connectors, a power adapter, a clear setup guide, and free pickup or return shipping at the end of your rental.

What if I need it longer than I rented?

Just let us know. We'll extend the rental at a prorated daily rate and never auto-charge surprise extensions.

Is there a deposit?

No deposit for standard rentals. We do collect billing details so we can charge for damaged or unreturned equipment, but in practice this almost never happens — patients are great about returning units on time.

Can my surgeon's office stock these?

Yes — we'll deliver a free demo unit and tabletop QR code to any qualifying ortho or sports-med practice. See our clinician program.

About

Built for Texans recovering at home.

We started Texas Cold & Compression Therapy because too many Texans come home from surgery with a bag of frozen peas and a prescription for ibuprofen. Cold & compression therapy is the standard of care in pro sports recovery rooms — it should be accessible to anyone recovering from surgery or a serious sprain.

Every rental is delivered, checked, and picked up by our team. No middlemen. No insurance paperwork. Just a faster, more comfortable recovery, on your timeline.
