would this help with shoulder spasms and weak scapula. I can't use arms without pain in shoulders and upper back. Will this help?

I really do not think so. What's the cause of your shoulder spasms? Usually the pain from bad posture is between the scapular blades. Which yours is not. So probably not

It didn't help me at all but that is ust my opinion. It was not comfortable.

I honestly do not know. Each person is so different. All you could do is try it and see.

Bobby-I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement.-Doug

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!

This is a great mouse. But it mostly is aimed at alleviating wrist discomfort.if your shoulder is what is bothering you, I would recommend assessing your chair and desk set up.

Barbara, this is for back spasms. It stimulated the muscles. It works great for me!

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 have rods in my back and am in paid 24, 7. I don't have spasms but I will say that this does help with my pain. It gives me more relief than anything I've ever used. I hope to never be without this. I can't say totally but I feel this might help with that too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it and give it a try.

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

I actually did just try it on my right shoulder and it does work as well in side out. I'm having a second shoulder surgery on my right shoulder, but probably not for a solid year due to the fact that my Scapula has a grade 3 detachment and. There is a hills sachs deformity in my shoulder Already that can't be fixed along with. Screws and achors and wires. I'm a bit worried. I wish you the best of luck. If you are not happy with your physical therapist finds one you are happy with. That is key.... and but this product. Sorry, for the lengthy answer.

Yes, greatly. Back and shoulders also. Been working out for many years and find it an excellent way to work out upper body !

Absolutely try it. Also remember that a lot of neck pain can actually just be shoulder pain referred to the neck. So if you have chronic neck pain, I'd suggest trying some exercises to get rid of it - "Bulletproof Your Shoulder is one good resource for shoulder exercises. Good luck!

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

No, it is not wide enough to to do both shoulders at the same time, I think it is meant for the small of your back.I have used it for different areas of my upper back though. It provides a good massage

My problems are all in the lower back (Lumbar and Sacral), so I am not certain. As this uses body weight to stretch the spine, I can't imagine that it would be as effective on upper back/neck issues. I would want to try before purchasing such a device for your purposes. I do hope that helps.

I don't know about about back and shoulder pain but the Dr. reconmended it for my neck and it really helped with that.

Yes, I believe it would help stabilize your shoulder because it is very adjustable - best of luck!

If it is just how to use it, I sit with the back of the chair against the door and bend my elbows in front of me. I then raise each arm not over extending the uppward motion. Start slow. Do not re-injur your shoulder. I used heat on my shoulder before and after. Your physical therapist should be able to give you advise for your needs if this foes not help. Always check with your Dr before doing anything new.
