I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

No, the material in this shirt helps release heat and mositure from your skin. Where UA makes a different type of material to help keep your bodies heat in (cold gear).

Hi there! I actually purchased it for use as therapy on my shoulder injury from an auto accident. Good for both arms and legs. :-)

No. I don't like it because it's so heavy and I have trouble with my shoulder. I'm sending it back.

I'm 79 and own 2 Intelliskin shirts (non-zipper). I golf 3x a week, bike, and do astrophotography using some pretty heavy equipment. This winter I developed sore shoulders from snow shoveling and snowshoeing. I bought one shirt and liked it so well I got another. I wear them golfing, biking, and working in the yard. They give me extra support and my shoulder pain has eased greatly. Sizing is tricky. I'm a size 42 and the large seems to work best. I returned both a medium and extra large. The shirts do pull the shoulders back. They require getting use to them. At first you feel very restricted, but after wearing them for longer and longer periods of time they become more comfortable. I've worn them under golf shirts in some fairly hot weather. They also provide some degree of back support. I have not regretted my purchases.

I know it does work the muscles in your back because I can feel that. I would say it has to help your chest also. I have more shoulder problems so I am always concentrating on the shoulder areas. Regardless, it is a great workout and the instructor tells you what group of muscles you are working with so you can concentrate on those areas.

I don't know Sharon. My friend's injury was sustained years ago in an accident, but the shoulder still pains especially when he does heavy lifting. The shoulder support helps stable and support his shoulder and gives him relief. It may help to support the shoulder as the rotator cuff tear heals, but I am not a medical doctor, so check with a professional. Sorry I could not give a simple yes or no answer.

I use it to work out. I had rotator cuff surgery sometime ago and think it could have been helpful. The one I used then from my orthopedic surgeon was more restrictive to help the healing process. Hope this helps.

I purchased an XL. It didn't work for me at all. I tried it for 2 nights and then had my husband try it. It didn't work. I just went to my Amazon account and went to the Section for returning something. I printed up a return label, including postage, and sent it back to Amazon. They reimbursed the purchase price. I did buy another one of these pillows, just in a smaller size. It has worked fantastic. My problem is shoulder pain and this pillow allows me to sleep on my side without having any pain. It has really been a miracle pillow for me. But if it doesn't work for you, you can return it and get a full refund. Best of luck!

I'm not sure. I never wore it because it was so ill fitting it did nothing for my shoulder. It was a complete waste of money.

No. Mine was used on the shoulder and just barely worked for it. I would get the next size up.

If the pain is muscular, it might help. It's eased some of the stress in my back when I sit for long periods. Depends on the type and reason for pain, and posture when sitting. I also use it as a back support (behind my lower back) when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV or reading. It's great for that in my case.

Hello Tami B. I would not recommend this particular product. It does not cover a wide range of support or comfort for an athlete with an injured shoulder. The reason is because the material will dig into your shoulder/armpit area. Not comfy. There are posture correction products available that provide wider coverageand comfort which I believe would be most beneficial to you. The price range may be from $14.95 to over $100.00. You may want to look into the magnetic back and shoulder support or something similar to it. Hope you find this info helpful.

I don't use these for neck, shoulder or wrist relief. I guess I look at it from the stand point of use it where it fits you comfortably. I have problems with my thighs being in a great deal of pain some times, or I will have problems with my upper arms/shoulders. I like these, because they cover a large space, and they work for my situation. I would try them, and see if they work for where your pain is. I do know that they made these to mostly fit the back of the neck area, but that didn't stop me from trying them elsewhere!

I am wering M shirts and this is really VERY big for me, so I think it could be good for your (it is really big size).

I may stretch to the top of your hips. However, I wore this short for days and if did not help me at all. I would not recommend this shirt. I foundthat lower back support braces work best. Again, I do not recommend this shirt. For the cost it should give some support.

Yes Sir. I wear it at home to get use to my posture. This is a great product. Especially for the price. It does work. If you are conscious of how you stand like I am, then this product IS for you! Look around at everyone and you will notice how poorly people carry themselves.
