EVS Sports SB05-M Shoulder Brace (Black, Medium)

Prodotto restituito perché troppo piccolo, quello che posso dire riguardo al prodotto e che non puzzava di gomma.

I wish I had found this brace years ago! It has totally turned my life around, allowing me to enjoy sports (specifically, hockey) again at 45 years old. I am not a professional athlete by any means, but I love playing ice hockey and I've had more than my fair share of bumps and bruises as well as injuries over the years. Early in my career, I dislocated my shoulder severely, which required multiple surgeries. Eventually I wore down that joint so bad that it had to be replaced with an artificial joint. My shoulder pain was constant (before and after the surgery), and as I got into my 40s, it seemed to get worse, especially when I played hockey or did anything that required using my arms. I wore a sling brace for a while, and it helped, but then I'd get arm pit pain from overuse of that brace. Then I separated my good shoulder last year, so I needed a brace to protect both shoulders and after much research, I settled with this product. At first, when I received the product, I had difficulty figuring out how to put it on (it is tricky), but once I had it on, I could feel that my shoulders felt supported. For the first few games, I tried wearing both my sling and shoulder brace, but eventually stopped using the sling and just used this. It has eliminated all the pain I used to receive while playing hockey (such for example, when people would slash my stick, the vibrations would travel up my arm and into my shoulder as pain, but no longer with this brace). In fact, the pain I'd get after a game or workout has also been reduced due to this brace. And if there's something around the house that will require me exerting effort and using my shoulders, I'll put this brace on, because it really helps keep my shoulder from slipping, and providing it with the support needed. I feel like if I had found this brace years ago, I could have prevented having to replace my shoulder ten years ago. Bottom line, my shoulder will never be 100% again, but this brace has been the closest thing in revitalizing my life and bringing enjoyment back into a sport that I love and thought I'd have to give up due to pain. I can't give it enough stars, because I feel much happier in my life now that I can continue sport activities without enduring adverse pain.

Runs small & cuts into arms

I originally purchased this product because I have pain behind my right shoulder blade area, on my upper back. I don't have shoulder issues, but I was desiring to find a brace that would offer more support to my upper back. I'm a hula hoop entertainer. During my shows I'm constantly using my shoulders and back. Overall, this brace helped to support my upper back. It felt like I was less likely to get injured while doing activities. If you do have shoulder problems, I could see this brace could potentially be challenging to get on. Fitting the brace without the help of another person requires some shoulder and back movement, which could potentially aggravate an injury. Since I don't have a shoulder problem, I don't have to worry about that as much. Overall for my situation, I find use in this brace. Make sure you get the correct size. Don't guess, actually measure the circumference of your chest following the size chart before buying. This brace is a tight and snug fit.

Those holes on the front chest area are terrible. I do not have a large chest, and i have broad shoulders, and STILL it was a horrible fit. I saw another reviewer who added extra straps and with the straps it works and fits much better.
