## Abstract

The present disclosure provides generally for a therapeutic recovery device for medical rehabilitation. The therapeutic recovery device may comprise a compression device. The compression device may provide compressive force that provides relief. The therapeutic recovery device may comprise at least one securing mechanism. When the therapeutic recovery device comprises at least one sensor, the at least one sensor may provide feedback on the user's health. The therapeutic recovery device may comprise one or more straps. The one or more straps may allow the therapeutic recovery device to be secured in a plurality of orientations. The therapeutic recovery device may comprise at least one holder. When the therapeutic recovery device comprises at least one holder, the holder may comprise one or more pockets. The therapeutic recovery device may interface with at least one external device. The therapeutic recovery device may comprise a cover. When the therapeutic recovery device comprises a cover, the therapeutic recovery device may comprise at least one internal material that is removable insertable.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A therapeutic recovery device comprising:
a compression device, wherein the compression device is configured to be pressed against at least a portion of a body of a user to exert a compressive force against the at least a portion of the body of the user, the compression device comprising:
an exterior surface, wherein the exterior surface faces away from the body of the user during use;
an interior surface, wherein the interior surface is on the opposite surface of the compression device from the exterior surface and faces towards the body of the user during use;
a first distal end, wherein a first edge of the exterior surface and a first edge of the interior surface converge at the first distal end;
a second distal end, wherein a second edge of the exterior surface and a second edge of the interior surface converge at the second distal end and the second distal end is opposite to the first distal end;
two straight side portions on opposing sides of the compression device, the two straight side portions extending from the first distal end to the second distal end; and
at least one holder, wherein the at least one holder comprises a retaining portion and is attached to the interior surface at three or more attachment locations, wherein the at least one holder is configured to receive at least one of: at least one limb of the user and at least one appendage of the user, wherein the at least one holder comprises at least one opening configured between adjacent attachment locations;
one or more straps, wherein each of the one or more straps comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is secured to the compression device and the second end is attachable to a first securing mechanism or a second securing mechanism, and wherein the attaching of the second end to the first securing mechanism provides a horizontal orientation of the compression device and the attaching of the second end to the second securing mechanism provides a vertical orientation of the compression device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 1, wherein the compression device comprises at least one sensor.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 2, wherein the compression device is configured to interface with at least one external device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 3, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to transmit data to the at least one external device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 4, wherein the compression device further comprises at least one internal material, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to activate the at least one internal material based on a predetermined value received from the at least one external device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises at least one of: a pulse oximeter, a thermometer, a heart rate monitor, an accelerometer, pressure sensor, and a motion sensor.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 1, wherein one or both the first securing mechanism and the second securing mechanism comprise one or more of: a loop, a clamp, a clasp, a clip, a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, a hole, or a buckle.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 7, wherein the first securing mechanism extends outwardly proximate to a first corner of the compression device and the second securing mechanism extends outwardly proximate to a second corner of the compression device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 8, wherein the first end of the one or more straps is secured proximate to a third corner of the compression device and the second end of the one or more straps is removably attachable to the compression device via at least one of the first securing mechanism or second securing mechanism, wherein the first and second corners of the compression device are adjacent to the third corner of the compression device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 7, wherein the first end and the second end of the one or more straps is securely attached to at least one of: the first distal end, the second distal end, at least one corner of the compression device, and at least one of the two straight side portions.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 1, wherein the compression device further comprises at least one internal material, wherein the at least one internal material is at least partially pliable such that the compression device comprises a padded configuration.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The therapeutic recovery device of claim 11, wherein the at least one internal material is configured to adjust a temperature of the compression device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)
