The HUEGLO Right Shoulder Brace for Men - yes, it does make a difference
I'm quite new to this shoulder brace/support thing. Over the past year or so, I've experienced a variety of pains in my right shoulder. After having an MRI, it was discovered that I no longer have a rotator cutt (apparently it tore a long ago and I never realized it). I'm 75 and I still workout regularly at a local gym 4 times a week with weight training. I'm a retired Marine (26 years of active service dating back to Vietnam), and that "go get 'em" mentality still grips my psyche, so I don't let up with my workouts. I'm sure that mindset caused my injury. Because of the pressure this puts on my right arm, it is essential that a good shoulder brace be used when doing any types of physical work or going to a gym. The fit of this particular Hueglo brace is superb (although I do wish it came in sizes). The fit on the shoulder is just right and much more comfortable than some of the other braces I've tried in the past. Now let me tell you right off the bat that the 2 velcro straps for the arm area of the shoulder unit, are a tad too short. I weigh only 180 pounds and am 5'8" tall, but I do have somewhat muscular arms. I have to stretch the velcro strips for the arm quite a bit in order for them to make sufficient contact with the rest of the arm brace. And even if you attach just the end tips of these velcro straps, they still tighten entirely too much if you have larger (muscular) arms. That is the only complaint that I can register with this particular HUEGLO Right Shoulder Brace for Men. Comfort-wise, excepting the overly snug arm situation, the brace is quite comfortable with soft materials on the side that attaches to the body, which means you can wear this brace for a long time. As for its effectiveness, I noticed a difference right away. The brace keeps the shoulder in place with no wiggling or grating at all. Now please keep this in mind. In my opinion, this brace can be worn all day because it keeps your shoulder in place (to use that term). It does a good job of keeping the shoulder from making any unnecessary and ill-advised movements. In closing, if there is one strong recommendation that I could make - it is to offer sizes. I feel this particular (supposedly one size fits all) HUEGLO Right Shoulder Brace for Men, is perhaps sized to more of a medium (max) frame. They need to have sizes available such as SM/MED or LG/XLG. After trying this HUEGLO Right Shoulder Brace for Men, I now know the relief/support they can provide. So other than the overally tight (I'm speaking on my behalf only) arm grip, it is a good purchase. I'm giving it 5 stars because of its very low price. Your mileage (based on your body makeup) may vary as they say... Good Luck Read more
