My shoulder is really flexible and it pops out frequently. I'm a sporty and small 16 yr old girl and want a comfortable shoulder support for woman.

I'm just like you. Small, flexible and had the same issues with my shoulder. It gives wonderful support without limitations.

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

If you're looking for something that will prevent your shoulder from popping out, this isn't the brace for you. It's a light support with emphasis on "light." It's useless for any serious stability problems. The EVS Sports SB03 would be a better choice, but even that isn't going to keep your shoulder in place if you need to use it through the full range of motion.

I have shoulder length and works for me. I love it and I can tell when I forget to use it. Trying it is worth a shot!

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.

It has enough weight on the "arm" thingies that rest over your shoulders that it tends to stay in place. I have more of a problem with it shifting when I go from upright to laying down, but that's to be expected. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. I have Fibromyalgia, and my neck and shoulders really bother me. Using this helps prevent my tight neck and shoulders from turning into a headache.

I would think it could be used for mild muscle stimulation as long as it will be flat on your shoulder.

No, one size fits all. After testing on men & women, this simple design with two separate adjustable straps is easiest/most comfortable to position, although you may need help to find your placement, first time, especially if sore, for maximum benefits. I cannot stress enough how critical placement/adjustment, and firm attachment to your skin is for best support & pain relief. Supply limitations exist on oversize, XX-L +, unfortunately this is a high quality product offered at an affordable price, thus we have constrains in manufacturing to all specific sizes.

I don't use these for neck, shoulder or wrist relief. I guess I look at it from the stand point of use it where it fits you comfortably. I have problems with my thighs being in a great deal of pain some times, or I will have problems with my upper arms/shoulders. I like these, because they cover a large space, and they work for my situation. I would try them, and see if they work for where your pain is. I do know that they made these to mostly fit the back of the neck area, but that didn't stop me from trying them elsewhere!

The one I bought was for my right shoulder. However it did not fit very well so I never really used it.

As I use this device for posture support and do not have an injury I can put in on by myself. I adjust the tightness with it off first then I raise both hands over my head and slide it down so it is loosely on top of my shoulders. I then pull one shoulder back at a time to get it in position. Someone with an injury, such as a clavicle fracture which is what this device is designed for, would need assistance to get it in place.

I found the should caps would not stay in place and after wearing a size smaller the piece in the back hurt my back from being too tight. Returned the item for a different brand that had bra like hook closure in the back and had circle style straps that went over the shoulder instead. Good Luck!

You might try a Mueller 6753 - Adjustable Back and Abdominal Support. See http://muellerrx.com/adjustable-back-and-abdominal-support/

If you shoulder is unstable like mine was, i'd say no. But if your shoulder is subjet to an injury i'd say yes if this support important to your movement.

I would say not. It's VERY firm and at the top of the 1/2 round, almost 5" high. It doesn't collapse enough for the lower back. I got mine as a brace for an arm during the night. I have a bad shoulder and this has been just the right size to support my arm.

I think your shoulder width is more of a concern here than your height. I am a little short and only a bit stocky. My shoulder width is ~21-22 and it is just right for me. If you are tall and wide or "normal", it might not be enough. If you are tall and skinny I think it will work. This is just speculation, but I would not think it wide enough for those whose shoulder width id greater than ~24.

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.

Shoulder strap works well for me. Make sure it is adjusted so everything is in balance.

This is not a bra. It works well to support your back. But it does cause underarm and under bust irritation
