Recovery Kit

Recovery Kit: professional recovery equipment for hire and purchase

Recovery Kit is a London-based company that presents itself as the official UK partner of NICE Recovery. Its activity focuses on supplying professional recovery equipment — cold and compression therapy, muscle stimulation, knee supports and infrared therapy garments — which can be hired, bought or subscribed to. The company's team works in collaboration with doctors, surgeons and physiotherapists, and offers ongoing guidance to customers throughout the recovery process.

Product catalogue and access options

Recovery Kit's catalogue includes several product lines, with hire and purchase options:

• NICE1: iceless cold and compression therapy machine, with specific wraps for knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and back. Hire from £259; buy for £5,250.
• Compex SP 8.0: wireless electrical muscle stimulation with four pods and 30 programmes for recovery, pain, strength and fitness. Hire from £59; buy for £999.99.
• Incrediwear: semiconductor-infused fabric that boosts blood flow and reduces inflammation without needing a tight fit. From £50.99.
• Bauerfeind GenuTrain: medical-grade knitted knee support with a patented Omega+ pad around the kneecap, available in ten sizes. £90.
• Breg Polar Care Wave: portable, quiet unit that combines circulating cold water and adjustable intermittent compression. £295.

The company allows you to hire before deciding on a purchase, with a 14-day hire as the usual option to try the equipment. Hires can be extended by adding days or moving to a rolling monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time. No prescription or medical referral is required to hire or buy the equipment.

Shipping and how the hire service works

Shipping is free on all orders within the UK. Hires are dispatched to arrive on the start date chosen by the customer, so orders must be placed before 14:00 on the previous working day. Items bought directly are usually dispatched within one to two working days; if they need to be ordered from the manufacturer, the lead time may be longer and is indicated on the product page and in the cart. The company also offers the possibility of extending an ongoing hire or switching to a monthly subscription.

Customer profile and collaborations

Recovery Kit targets both professional athletes and people in post-operative recovery. Among the athletes the company mentions are Luke Cowan-Dickie (hooker for England Rugby and Sale Sharks) and David Ambler (rowing, Team GB). The company states collaborations with Isokinetic Medical Group, Harley Street Specialist Hospital and Opus Biological. According to the figures it publishes, more than 300 athletes have used its equipment and it has a 5.0 out of 5 rating based on 183 verified reviews, with figures correct as of August 2026.

Customer reviews

Reviews highlight the ease of use of the NICE1 machine compared with traditional ice methods, its quiet and compact operation, and the usefulness of the compression system for managing pain and swelling after hip and knee surgery. Several users mention the ability to fill the water reservoir just once, the screen dimming for night use and the attentiveness of the after-sales service, which in one case quickly replaced a faulty machine. Some reviews note as a limitation that the equipment can only be used on one knee at a time.
