Does it help withthe shoulder blade at all? If not do you have a shoulder brace that can help with the shoulder &amp; the shoulder blade?

Sounds like what you really need are scapular stabilization exercises - try the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder.

There are certain blades that are not recommended. Please see the following note about the Blade Nomenclature in the owner's manual: Currently, the newer versions of the owners' manuals state: "Blades with depth-limiting shoulders may take longer to stop in the event of an accident than standard blades, and you could receive a more serious injury. Therefore, SawStop recommends using blades without depth-limiting shoulders."

For me at 5'4 it stops between my shoulder blades but after using it for about a week my back and shoulder pain went away.

No...it is a spring assist blade. The user must apply some pressure on the actuator to initiate the opeing of the blade

I thought the wide end at the lower back because it is wide....the narrow part fits between the shoulder blades better. But I agree either way works - its whatever you feel more comfortable with. Best part is when you raise your hands as far above your head (on the floor) as possible - great stretch....

Quite honestly, I never use the Blade Guard and occasionally use the Kick Back Pawl. I change from Rip to Crosscut to Dado so often that it is cumbersome. I also find the Blade Guard annoying as I am closely watching my fine cuts. I know the potential hazards. What I find most annoying ii s the large side opening next to the blade. Sawdust collection, even with a strong vacuum is terrible.

I don't think the shoulder brace would help with your posture. I would try a brace for lower back for that issue. This brace really relieves shoulder joint and rotator cuff pain for me.

I did not and would look into if you can use these types of devices on your neck. I did use it on my shoulder blades and upper back.

Never did it but it should work. Worked well for me with a shoulder injury.

Theres a little tab in the sheath that applys preasure to the blade however its not enough to hold it when its upside down. A mod is probably your best bet if you want your blade to remain held with out the safety strap. Are you planning to put it on your shoulder?

The braces that run from the shaft to the blade on either side will only fit well when they are put on in a certain direction. Try them by hand first to make sure you are lining everything up right - and if not, flip them around to see if that works better.

I do use this on my entire back. I start with smaller end under my lower back, stretch with my arms out then all the way over my head (cracking noises here), then I continue to scoot up, repeating the stretching slowly, until my shoulders are completely off the top/largest part of board (which completely stretches my lower back out, more than the upper But I still feel a good stretch in my upper back/shoulder blades). Then I do other stretches off the board to complete the process. It has helped my back immensely.

I've found that it's good for impacts, I bought mine for protection from bokken strikes and it's great for that. It could probably save you from a few slashes but it would get shredded. Stabing could be problematic, the seems between the pads are tough but I think a fixed blade or a double edged blade would penetrate it. To be clear I have only taken blunt object strikes in mine. The only body armor I KNOW will stop blades is chainmail and Dragonscale.

It's universal...you can use it on either shoulder. I love my brace because it is the ONLY thing that gives me relief from my pain. It is well made, and works, but make sure you order one size up, because they are a little smaller than the size ordered. So if you need a medium, order the large. I hope this helps.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

My husband wears it on his right shoulder. He was involved in an accident 35 years ago and has lost the muscle tone. He was unable to lift his arm and it sags down. The brace kind of holds it in his shoulder socket.

Hello Tami B. I would not recommend this particular product. It does not cover a wide range of support or comfort for an athlete with an injured shoulder. The reason is because the material will dig into your shoulder/armpit area. Not comfy. There are posture correction products available that provide wider coverage and comfort which I believe would be most beneficial to you. The price range may be from $14.95 to over $100.00. You may want to look into the magnetic back and shoulder support or something similar to it. Hope you find this info helpful.
