The fast recovery wearable system is a portable, multifunctional, and program-customizable system that is designed for elite athletes (and people with musculoskeletal disorders). Besides pure cold and heat compression treatment, the system also provides rapid temperature-contrast therapy with simultaneous intermittent compression to accelerate the body's lactic acid metabolism, alleviate fatigue, and help muscles recover quickly. This design improves the treatment efficiency, hygiene, and portability issues of traditional bath therapy and temperature-controlled therapy apparatus.
