it stabilizes the whole shoulder including the muscles. I've had trouble with rotator cuff and this product has enabled me to continue pitching and 49 years old

Not that much. It kind of gives me a reminder to don't over do the motions that might worsen the muscle, which was my rotator cuff. Hope that helps. :D

I don't believe the sleeve mechanism on this support is intended for compression. This sleeve component is really only used to support and stabilize the shoulder. I recommend using the compression sleeve if you require muscle support, while this shoulder support provide the ortho/ shoulder stability.

Yes, I believe it would help stabilize your shoulder because it is very adjustable - best of luck!

Yes, it fits the upper arm. However, I found I had to tighten it so much that I didn't like using it on my arm while exercising my arm. I love the rubber protective sleeve though. I use it in my pocket in the protective sleeve while I exercise and thread the wires inside my shirt.

Bobby-I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement.-Doug

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.

I only wear the brace while I am lifting heavy items and then I remove it the rest of the day. While I lift I can still feel my stomach muscles being used so I wouldn't think using it would make them weaker.

No. However, these wrist supports help prevent strain to the same tendons involved in tennis or golfers elbow by minimizing over flexion during exercise.

Tommy Copper is a compression garment that for me helps to relieve aches and pains. A superior product that I wear daily.

No, John, I found no improvement or noticeable difference on my arms. This is what I bought it for.....my upper arms. Save your money!

This band is used often for the so call tennis elbow. I wear it on the arm near the elbow, not too tight, while playing tennis. It gives me full mobility while holding the muscle.

Yes, it is effective for arms too. You will need to adjust the tension down when working your arms.

It helped my son who had inner thigh into hip pain. He wore it at school (6-7 hours a day) under his pants. He said the stabilization helped him from tweaking the injury when going up and down stairs and walking. Hope that helps!

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.

I would not use this sleeve for weight lifting. I do weight lifting and you need a lot more support than this offers. This sleeve is more decorative than anything else. Look the reviews ... a lot of them are from parents who bought it for their high school student kids. I have gone over to Tommy Copper sleeves.

The splints you get from doing heavy preacher curl, will not be helped by this. I never did find anything that actually helped with forearm splints.

Not that I know of but have to ask the manufacturer. Per my experience I've found it to be a huge help for: faster soft tissue recovery from sprains, strains, tears, soreness, bruising, or just joint or muscle weakness. Can be use as prevention to add strength or support to an area of shoulders, arms, legs or back for sport or physical effort of many types.
