Sparthos Shoulder Brace - Support Sleeve for Torn Rotator…

I haven't ever found a brace that doesnt inflict at least some degree of discomfort, especially one that wraps across your entire back and chest. However, this one is as close as I've ever come to one that provides some support and isn't a complete nuisance to wear. It will take you a little time to get the straps all adjusted to fit you properly but once you get it right it DOES provide beneficial support and compression. Its a brace, and the reason youre wearing it is to relieve some pain or prevent it. It isnt going to be invisible and youre not going to forget youre wearing it but it does its job as advertised and it does it well. Just stay diligent in getting it adjusted properly and it will definitely help you if you have rotator cuff issues.

Let me explain. This is a great product. I have been suffering from shoulder pain for quite a while. My pain is caused more by ligaments and not muscular but it probably helps both. I like that it helps keep my shoulder stable. Most of my pain is when i try and relax my arm and my shoulder feels like its sliding down. This product keeps it firm in place and helps relieve my muscles from having to stay tense all the time. The pouch for hot and cold pads is also a great plus to this product. I alternate between hot and cold gel pads and it really helps. It seems the be well constructed and the sewing is firm and should last a long time. Once you get the sizing correct it becomes really comfortable to wear and can be worn for a long time without discomfort from it. Which brings me to my slightly lower point of this shoulder brace. The only thing that I had a problem with was the sizing. I am not really a big guy. i have skinny arms and a fatter torso. I bought the universal thinking it would work. Surprisingly it was the right size around my torso but it was way too tight on my arm. I could not strap it around my arm. The universal size does seem to run really small around the arm. I went ahead and bought the XXL. When it came in, the shoulder part fits around my arm much better but the strap around my torso was too big and almost wrapped around my entire body before clasping. I could not easily put it on myself and secure it. The good thing about having both sizes was the torso strap is completely removable. I was able take the torso strap off the smaller universal sized one and installed it on the XXL shoulder pad. At this point it was a perfect fit! Great product if you can get the right fit. Since the arm strap is not removable it really limits the proper sizing to be universal. I don't ever recommend buying what you don't need, but with the low price of this item I would recommend buying both sizes and then it can be truly interchangeable for yourself as well as others that might need to use it. With both sizes you can then mix and match the torso straps as well as the shoulder portion. Other than the sizing this is a great overall product and you will not be disappointed in getting it (or both). Good luck!
