Sellers' Description;
The Vulkan Shoulder Strap provides effective shoulder support giving compression, support and warming relief to muscles and joints without limiting movement.
It features Vulkan Aerotherm, lined neoprene, to help relieve pain, reduce swelling and accelerate healing in acute and chronic conditions of the shoulder, bursitis, myositis, tendonitis, following subluxation and rehabiliation following injury or surgery.
This shoulder support features an adjustable chest strap for greater comfort and fit, and is suitable for the left or right shoulder but will not really offer much in restriction of movement, just compression and heat retention. The heat retention will keep the muscles, ligaments and tendons for the shoulder joint supple and increase blood flow to the area, this will assist reduction in inflammation and therefore pain. The compressive effect will help in two ways, preventing more swelling and inflammation from getting to the joint and the effect of compression on an injured area does offer "sub-conscious" benefits as well. This is due to Proprioception - your bodys own awareness of where that limb is in relation to the rest of the body, a bit of compression on an area heightens your awareness and should make you "remember" about your injury.
The support is 40cm in length from the neck, down the arm to almost the elbow and can be washed by hand with a mild detergent. The bicep sleeve is not adjustable but the chest strap is by velcro.
Lower level of protection compared with the sided or full shoulder supports.
