Using the Vive Ice Therapy Machine

The Vive Ice Therapy Machine continuously circulates chilled water through a flexible therapy pad to provide consistent cold therapy throughout your treatment session. Unlike traditional ice packs, the circulating system maintains a more consistent temperature without frequent pack changes.

1. Fill the cooling unit with ice to the designated fill line.
2. Add cold water to the indicated water fill line.
3. Secure the lid and connect the insulated hose until it clicks into place.
4. Attach the universal therapy pad to the hose.
5. Connect the power adapter and turn the unit on.
6. Select the desired treatment time and one of the five flow settings using the digital controls.
7. Secure the therapy pad with the included adjustable straps.
8. Press Start to begin your treatment session.

Where Can It Be Used?

The included universal therapy pad is designed to conform to a wide variety of treatment areas.

• Shoulder
• Knee
• Hip
• Back
• Ankle
• Calf
• Arm
• Thigh

This versatile design makes it an excellent option for recovery from orthopedic surgery, sports injuries, arthritis flare-ups, and overuse injuries.

Adjusting Your Treatment

The digital controller allows you to customize both the duration and the water flow. Treatment time can be adjusted in five-minute increments, while five flow-rate settings let you select the amount of water circulation that feels most comfortable.

For post-surgical recovery, always follow the treatment schedule provided by your surgeon or physical therapist.
