EVS Sports SB05 Shoulder Brace, Black

I got this because my job requires that I lift heavy stuff. I have a torn rotator cuff on both shoulders, and it makes it almost impossible to do my job, and causes severe pain. I needed something to helps stabilize my shoulders, so I tried this. It helps a lot, and I highly recommend it for anyone with shoulder or neck and upper back issues. Runs small so measure shldr/chest, & if close to max. measurement, go next size up.

I ordered this brace because I already wear A back brace throughout the day to help keep me stable (Hypermobility takes its toll otherwise), But my shoulders were still migrating forward, no matter what.The first day I put it on, and then took a few steps around the house, I felt like an invincible cyborg warrior. My gosh! Is this how “normal bodies” hold themselves together without even thinking about it?!Granted, I can’t really wear it out of the house unless it’s Turtleneck weather, Because Of how high it Fastens in front— But I wasn’t looking for a fashion accessory, I was looking for a well-made, fully adjustable brace and that’s exactly what this is.If you have “rounded shoulders” or have struggled with cervical spine issues, I would recommend at least a trial. Removing The weight-bearing and body Immobilization load from muscles, rather than the ligaments and tendons that should have been doing those jobs, can be a revelation.Good luck, everyone.

This brace runs incredibly small because of the compression element. I was supposed to fit into a Medium but I had to go up to a Large for it to fit properly. It is providing support for my shoulders which is great for my hypermobility. My shoulders have a bad habit of over rotating, but this brace helps hold them in place.

I'm sure this product is great but I ended up getting the wrong one. I ordered the SB05 dual shoulder brace but instead I got the SB03 for one side or the other. The name, picture and description did not match what I got. Please correct that for next time cuz I'm sure, as I said in the beginning, this product is a good one.

Love design & support of the 'EVS dual shoulder brace' but unfortunately their largest chest size is just 45", too small for most male adults.*Those who need to wear dual shoulder braces daily need models to fit 50" & up chest size.

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.

It was hard to get on size was misleading especially with bad shoulder.

I got dislocation on both shoulders,one when I was 16 on a car accident then the other on my 40.Before this brace was horrible, pain and not full mobility,after 2 months using the brace I feel like 17 again,the brace fix my posture making my spasms gone completely and my shoulders are shoulders again…
