Don't just get through surgery.
Aim for perfection.

Ice & Compression

This is the single most important thing I recommend after surgery — for both pain control and a quick recovery.

A cold-therapy machine circulates chilled water with gentle compression around the joint, delivering steady, targeted cold more evenly than an ice pack ever could. Use it 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off while you are awake. In the critical first days and weeks, that consistent cold pulls down the inflammation and swelling that drive most of your early pain.

Better pain control usually means leaning less on medication, sleeping better, and getting up and moving sooner — which is exactly what a strong recovery needs. It's simple, it's safe, and it makes a real day-to-day difference in how comfortable you are.

Honestly, I can tell at six weeks who has been using ice and compression and who hasn't — the difference is that clear.

Surgical Nutrition

Surgery pushes your body into a breakdown state — the right nutrition helps you rebuild instead of lose ground.

Going into surgery with fully loaded nutritional reserves, and continuing through recovery, gives your body the raw materials it needs to heal. Around the time of surgery I recommend the XR Surgical Recovery Program, and on top of that I recommend protein, collagen, and creatine to support muscle and tissue healing. I walk through exactly why each of these matters — and how to use them — in the video below.

One note: I don't sell protein through this store — just pick up a quality protein powder on your own. Everything else I recommend is available here.
