Is Ice Machine Therapy Effective After A Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery?

Hello, I am having Rotator Cuff repair surgery in a week. Do you recommend Ice Machine therapy, and if so, which one is the best? There are many different kinds - I would like to purchase the best, not the most inexpensive. Do I need a prescription for this?
