About WRS Group

A smarter way to heal.

As a national leader in pain management and recovery, WRS Group delivers cold compression therapy to orthopedic practices and patients across the United States.

Why WRS Group

Recovery shouldn’t mean reaching for another opioid.

We built WRS Group on a simple conviction: patients deserve a proven, non-opioid way to manage pain after surgery or injury — and surgeons deserve an alternative they can confidently stand behind.

Our extensive orthopedic network and commitment to excellence have enabled us to build a consistent and effective care model that operates throughout the country. We work tirelessly to develop and implement systems that not only meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance, but also make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. From healthcare providers and surgeons to patients and athletes, our solutions are designed to support every step of the recovery journey.

What WRS Group does

Since 2009, WRS Group has helped orthopedic teams give patients a better recovery — starting with cold compression therapy and the support around it.

Cold compression therapy

We deliver cold compression therapy to orthopedic practices, surgeons, and their patients — the kind surgeons and physical therapists use to help patients manage swelling and pain after surgery or injury, so recovery at home is more comfortable than icing on your own.

A prescription is required for cold compression therapy.

We meet practices and patients across the ways care actually gets paid for:

Workers’ compensation

Coverage for injured workers, through workers’ compensation and payors.

Medicare · NOPAIN Act

A separate Medicare payment for qualifying non-opioid pain management used during outpatient surgery, in the surgical-facility setting.

Cash pay & insurance

Cash pay, insurance, and out-of-pocket options — we help you understand coverage and confirm everything before you’re charged.

Provara — remote therapeutic monitoring

Provara is WRS Group’s remote therapeutic monitoring platform for cold compression therapy. It captures device-verified recovery data and brings it back to the care team as one clear picture — the weeks between visits a practice has never been able to see.

Why practices & patients trust WRS Group

The proof is what patients say.

In our WRS Cold Compression Scores program, 2,060 patients surveyed reported:

91%
would recommend the therapy to family & friends
75%
reported effective post-op pain relief
70%
reported taking fewer opioid pain pills
