McDavidLight Shoulder Support

Brace fits good and comfortable

I ordered this brace to help my shoulder heal from from some irritation and inflammation of the rotator cuff. I am a small-medium sized female and I was a little worried whether this support would fit. I am happy to say it does. The strap that goes around the chest hits me above my bust, which is good since I am busty for my size and it would not fit if it hit any lower. The strap that goes around the chest was maybe a tad short, but it worked. The rest of it fit me almost perfectly. The support took the weight of my arm and shoulder off of my shoulder and allowed it to heal more quickly. I was able to wear it to my office job without people really noticing really and without sweating, which is surprising for neoprene. There was enough room for me to slip a ice pack under it when needed as well.My only minor complaint is that the stitching around the arm was a little tight. However, after a few days of wearing I think it has stretched out a bit and is much more comfortable.Per the description this brace only offers light support, and allows pretty much free range of motion for the shoulder. That was fine for me, but others may want more support. Seems well made and I would recommend it to those needing some shoulder support.

I bought this shoulder support February 2010 to reduce shoulder pain from torn infraspinatus / supraspinatus tendons that are not completely attached to my shoulder blade. I sustained this injury 9 year ago. The pain comes and goes depending on how active I am. I am a massage therapist and yoga teacher, so I am fairly active. When the pain returns, it is a continuous ache that radiates from my shoulder to my wrist. It is not excruciating, just physically limiting and very annoying. The neoprene keeps the shoulder muscles warm and sweaty. After wearing the support day & night for 2 or 3 days, my pain goes away. I've used the shoulder support 3 different times with consistent results. It's been 3 months since I've needed to use it, but I keep it somewhere easy to find just in case.This harness was designed for a man or a flat chested person, I'm neither. I could not find one designed for a woman. So I had to rig an extender to loop the strap that goes under the armpit to go under one breast and up the center of my chest to meet the velcro on the opposite side.The size I choice fits snug but not too tight. The material is thin and flexible enough to use under most blouses without being obvious. I wore it under my clothes while at work on both my jobs and no one noticed.I am pleased with the results. Its therapeutic value to me is definitely a 5. Because of the inadequate strap, I'm rating it a 4.

This product is for the everyday person with light shoulder pain. It is great for everyday work like home repairs, lawn care, and even working out. I have used multiply shoulder braces after separating my right shoulder. This brace has been by far the best one I have used yet.It is comfortable, durable, and has many straps for adjustment to maximize comfort. It has three different straps that you can adjust. First is around your chest to bring your shoulder tighter to your body. Then the two straps on top of your shoulder to bring it down; and lastly is the strap that wraps around your bicep. These straps help limit your mobility too, so you can worry less about over exerting your shoulder and possibly re injuring it. It also is reversible, so you can use it for your left or right shoulder. The material is smooth and breathable, so it doesn't give you a big red rash after your down using it. Also with the breath ability it doesn't smell terrible after your done working in it.Make sure you know what size you are or else it won’t work to its full capability, It also maybe uncomfortable if it is too small or too big. This does not fix or get rid of you shoulder pain. It only helps support and take the stress off your shoulder. I would highly recommend this shoulder brace to anyone who has dislocated or separated their shoulder before and has chronic pain.This product is a five star product in my eyes. It is affordable and is very helpful in reducing shoulder pain and helping you to a speedy recovery.
