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.

Bought this after shoulder separation. Works good while wearing under shoulder pads for hockey. Also, works good for running. Additionally, it has a pouch area designated for icing the shoulder area. Great product especially for the price.

Hello All. This is definitely not for use in sports (which I tried it) or any real excerise. It is mainly to use for walking around in the house or very, very light use of your shoulder.

Great product, works keeping the shoulder in place and stable, I use it while practicing volleyball or after a game. Very comfortable, have had no problems wearing it.
