Shoulder

If you have shoulder problems as a result of a fall, dislocation, or other medical problem, and it hurts when you perform movements of any kind, you need a shoulder wrap/immobilizer. Depending on the severity of the situation, you can use such a device, which is easily available in our shops, for 4 to 6 weeks.

Why do you need a shoulder immobilizer?

The shoulder immobilizer you may need is designed to support your arm, but also to protect you from doing certain motions. It is also to protect your arm from other people pulling on or against the arm and to protect the arm at night, so you do not sleep on it wrong or move it in the wrong position. 

You should wear the brace at all times except when showering or doing your exercises. When showering or dressing it may be helpful to have a family member assist you in keeping your shoulder in the correct position when the brace is off. You must wear the immobilizer at night. You may sleep sitting up if you find this more comfortable. 

Our recommendations

We recommend that you not apply the immobilizer directly to your skin as this can cause a rash. Instead, we recommend you put on a T-shirt or button-down shirt first, then apply the brace. This shirt will protect you like a shield.

Don't rush your recovery

No matter how good you feel, it's best to listen to a doctor or to contact us for further information if you are from New Zealand.
