DonJoy Shoulder Stabilizer Brace - Right Shoulder Support for Small Size | Pain Relief & Injury Recovery for Sports & Daily Activities

This brace does all that it says it will. The adjustable strap between waist and affected arm is great--it allows more movement as your shoulder gets stronger. I gave it only 4 stars for several 4 reasons: 1) it is extremely difficult to put on if you live alone. It does get easier with practice and after you figure out which straps you can leave in place. 2) It is extremely warm to wear--needs ventilation. 3) the armhole is too large for thin people (I would guess it's to big for most women--it bunches and wrinkles making it uncomfortable. 4) again for thin people, some of the straps are too long and cannot be cut to size because of the placement of the velcro. All in all, though, I'd recommend this brace if you have shoulder issues.I bought this after 4 shoulder surgeries and having previously bought 2 similar "budget" braces. The other braces I tried were like wearing a tight wetsuit. Even with the straps It felt nice and gave me some added confidence, but didn't seem like they would prevent a future injury from happening. This brace felt so secure that I was convinced I would break my arm before separating my shoulder again. It allowed me to adjust my range of motion quite well. My only complaint was that after wearing it for three days it really chewed up my neck. I think this was partly due to how tight I made it and the fact that I did not wear a shirt underneath. A better design would be to make the neck area have a soft collar on it. I wrote this review because I was unable to find one at time of purchase. Highly recommended!I was measured by a professional for this product and told to purchase an XXL based on the Donjoy sizing chart. When I received it and had it fit by the same professional, it was clearly too large. I ordered a size down which fits.Now I see it cannot be returned and the fact that it cannot be returned is not at all clear since the Amazon site states "eligible for return/refund". Only when you drill down on that does it specifically state that it is NOT eligible for return. Dishonest and shady from my perspective.Do not b purchase this item from Amazon!Works well through a season of football. Tough material. Limits should motion as needed.My son has a torn labrum but still wanted to play his Senior year of football- and because of this brace he was able to do so without hurting himself more! Wish it had been the first one I bought, but worth it!6 games after we bought it the strap and Velcro ripped right off. Wanted to exchange it but instead had to buy another to get through the season. The return time should be longer when buying a $250 brace. Not great customer service in my opinion. Definitely should have been able to exchange for a new one but that didn't happen.Excellent quality..quick shipping
