It sort of works but still trying to figure it out

I've dislocated both of my shoulders multiple times, and during a variety of activities (falls, swimming, throwing, and most recently in training martial arts). Although I've undergone physical therapy on serveral occasions, I still suffer from periodic 'partial' dislocations, where (thankfully) the shoulder will go back into place on its own. I am grateful that in my case, physical training and strengthening helps speed up recovery to the extent that I am quickly able to return to my active lifestyle. With that said, I decided to seek additional tools (in this case, purchasing a brace).I am very active, and rather than stop training (as I had following some of the first of my shoulder injuries), I found that I need to continue training, but much smarter. I took the advice of a therapist to wear a brace while undergoing certain activities (in my case, training Brazilian jiujitsu). Thus, I only wear the brace during those training sessions, and in my case, have not found it necessary to do so in other situations.How the shoulder brace has helped me:-The brace (I wear one on each shoulder) definitely provides more stability to my shoulders-The use of the product helps minimize the low levels of pain that I feel from time to time-The product is rather easy to wear, adjust, and clean-It seems to be of good quality material and constructionRelevant therepist advice given to me regarding the use of braces for dislocated joints:-The brace should be supplemental to proper strengthening and rehabilitation of the injured joint. In other words, wearing a brace will not do the work for you regarding the need to strengthen all of the stabalizing muscles, ligaments, and tendons that hold the shoulder in place. I still am trying to find the proper strength-training protocol to once-and-for-all minimize--ideally--prevent further injury.-Though the brace has provided me with physical support (and psychological confidence) of my shoulders, I still need to train carefully by way of not becoming complacent in my shoulder stability--or lack thereof. That is to say, one could still be injured despite wearing a brace.I compared many different braces, and found this one to be a great combination of reasonable price, strong customer ratings, appropriate materials (quick-drying for moderate / high levels of intensity in my training), and ease of use.For full disclosure, I purchased these braces on my own at full retail price. I am providing this review at the request of the seller, and am happy to do so. Best of luck!

Mixed feelings

Worn this shoulder brace for over 2 weeks. Previous brand I had 6 years, and had reordered that brand. I reinjured the same shoulder, and didn't want that brand again, because of the reasons that I say below about the Suptrust brace.1. I really like the stability of how it keeps my shoulder in place. With it, I can raise my arm without pain! And it's very good to know that it's going to stay put during healing. I was 5 years into the healing process using the previous brand, when I took a shoulder dive from the street onto a sidewalk this past September. Let's see if this brand helps me heal faster than the previous brace .. really think that it will.2. The straps are thicker yet softer than previous top 100 brand. Possilby won't stretch out as quickly as well. Especially under my armpit & bicep, where the previous one was prone to folding and pinching me.3. The strap closures are much better than the regular hook and loop. The previous brand's closures would always get caught on my shirts & on weight room equipment, with the dreaded ripping sound & damaging my shirts. And during workouts the old closures would come undone & need to be re-attached.The Suptrust brace addresses those issues immediately!! Can't wait to toss out the old braces, all stretched out and useless.If you have a brace (even in Best Sellers top 100) I urge you to order this one right away. You will feel less pain & likely heal faster while preventing additional damage to your shoulder. I truly believe it will, and I wish your healing to go as best as it possible can.

Updated:Well after a week the smell has gone down to mildly obnoxious, however now the velcro is failing. It only holds for a short time before it lets loose. How is it possible that this is the top ranked shoulder brace on Amazon?Smells terrible!!! If you are at all sensitive to chemicals, avoid this like the plague! Also avoid it if you just don’t want to have something that smells nasty a few inches from your nose.It's a shame, because aside from the smell, the brace seems very good.The seller's customer service is insulting.Before the brace was even delivered, I got an email from the seller that said among other things "we will send you a new replacement or issue a full refund to you immediately without hesitation. You don’t need to return the damaged product to us, as that would be a waste of your time....Do not hesitate to contact us on any problem you've met while using our product. We will try our best to fix all kinds of problems. My family is passionate, dedicated, and prepared to provide you with the best product and service we can - WE JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!"But when I emailed them about the problem, they told me to try and fix it myself and to let me know how it worked out! Unbelievable !"With regards to the smell, we can't do anything about it. Please try the most possible way to get rid of it and let us know he outcome."I'm sorry, there have been billions of products made of neoprene sold over the years, and I really think there is a way to produce them without the stink.

My son used thies before and after his shoulder surgery. Really helped support his shoulder.
