This was too tight under my arms. There are other full body models that are more padded under the arms.

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 coverage and 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.

The device rides up out of position and is uncomfortable under the arms. It does raise your awareness and makes you more conscious of your posture.

If you wear it over a shirt as shown. If on bare skin it irritated my skin because it rubs. Did help my posture but not comfortable for me

Yes - and no. There are instructions to put the bands over your shoulders and lean forward. It kind of hurt the tops of my shoulders. I would think it should be part of your strengthening routine but not all.

Being in the medical field I can tell you it would be wise to be evaluated by a professional.. Some back conditions require physical therapy/ losing weight/ surgery.. But for the rest of us a lumbar roll is a fine tool to correct our posture.

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

I would not recommend it. It just does not do enough for stabilization/compression. You would probably end up hurting your shoulder further.

I got the short sleeve v-neck and it works well with other clothing. I use I for my shoulder after surgery during physical therapy and it does lessen the pain, I am able to get through my hour sessions with minimum pain. I am thinking about a ankle brace as well.

Actually it does, but I've gotten over it. It almost forces you to do them properly. It's less of an issue if you are facing the pad, but that angle does interfere if you swing your body even a little, and I'm thin so consider that also.

I have just bought this device about 2 weeks ago. I use it when I know I will slouch. It reminds me to stand straight. I have bad posture for 30 years and I do not think I will be cured overnight. The good news is that my support is very comfortable and easy to use.

Make sure your posture is aligned. I felt tightness in my core because of sitting upright better.

I use it on my right shoulder - it works on either one.It holds my bones together so that I can work out.

Ask your doctor first. This thing does align the vertebrae naturally. But it can be painful. I would say wait till you are more fully healed. If you do use it be sure to use pillows on top, and bottom and maybe even the sides, to reduce stress. The ridges are too high.

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.

You could, but that's not actually good for your back, especially for someone who is overweight. Also, there would be nothing to keep you from going past vertical, so it might be very difficult to right yourself, and you could cause other injury.

I wouldn't suggest it only because you will have to apply pressure and that would require you to be in some fairly uncomfortable positions. It works great but it can be painful. I wouldn't want you to further your injury.

That info. should be on there site.. but for me it basically reminds me to stand & sit straight... I don't have to use it for very long 10-15 min whenever I start to feel hunched or if I know I haven't been standing straight & my shoulders are aching. I don't use it everyday... Im 47, have had 6 babys, im thin, but my shoulders carry my stress... so when Im feeling the need I just slip it on & it retrains my body & mind. I would think if you are very hunched you would want to do it daily, & retrain your body & mind to stand straight onm its own when you are not wearing it... hope this helps :) That info. should be on there site.. but for me it basically reminds me to stand & sit straight...

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.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite
