Heck, if we're guessing based on a photo, then I'm going with air-pressure and elevated legs helps with the circulation and therefore recovery time.I think it's ice packs - keeps water/ice flowing continuously vs. having to be changed out when it warms up.

"The Recovery Edge Therapy System is a medical grade compression pump device that has revolutionized the speed with which athletes can now recover at home, every day. Simply zip in to the device and turn it on. High levels of adjustable compression quickly fill the device with superior bottom-to-top sequential compression. This adjustable compression forces the body to flush out metabolic waste and acid build up; which if left stagnant, would cause soreness and fatigue in the muscle. This compression therapy also increases circulation which helps to move those waste products out of the body. It may vary from person to person, but typically a half-hour to an hour is enough to expedite the body’s muscle recovery equal to 12 to 24 hours of rest alone."
