ActiveWrap Shoulder Ice Pack, with 2 Reusable Gel Packs for Shoulder Pain Relief, Rotator Cuff Cold Therapy, Adjustable Compression Straps, Post-Surgery Must-Have, Large/X-Large

I am currently using this to ice my shoulder having undergone rotator cuff muscle repair 2 weeks ago. I showed up at my surgeon's office wearing it and he said, "That's absolutely a great way to ice." It's very convenient having 2 sets of ice packs. It fits snugly, and I actually have better and more comfortable support for my shoulder and arm than in the sling issued to me after surgery. I find that this contains my arm successfully and I am prevented from doing any movement that would harm it. The ice is long-lasting and penetrating from both front and back. There are two pockets for ice; one pocket puts it closer to the surface of the skin. It's easy to put on and take off. Took me a little while to figure out how to do it myself, but once I got chest strap adjusted correctly, it's now very easy. I highly recommend this product. I have all the ActiveWrap hot/cold therapy wraps now and have used them all successfully for various injuries and conditions. This is a winner from a very winning company. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth a little bit more than some of the others because of the quality.

My wife is scheduled for a total reverse shoulder, but the appointment is 8 weeks away. she has been experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort. I found this on Amazon and bought it for her. It has given her a lot of relief. The material used is superior and the pockets for the ice packs are perfect. The Velcro straps allow her to tighten where she gets support while at the same time the cold therapy needed to reduce the level of pain. For her post surgery treatment we will probably get one of those cold water circulating machines, but I have to say, this could handled what is needed if we were to buy the two additional ice packs offered.

Used after shoulder replacement surgery. The cool water machine from the hospital worked okay, but the shoulder pad sent with it did not reach around the upper arm where there was a lot of swelling. It required someone other than me to prepare it since there was a weight limitation on the replaced shoulder to a coffee cup or cereal bowl. There is no moving around when using the machine. Applying the straps required 2 people.When using this XL ActiveWrap shoulder hot/ice pack wrap, we worked with it to find the best fit. To draw the gap on the top of the shoulder down, we put the long strap under my other shoulder, across my chest and tightened all the straps to draw the cold packs closer. My upper arms are very large and would not have fit inside the next size down. Not used the hot pack feature - only cold. NOTE: It is extremely cold, much colder than the 2 reusable hot./cold packs I had at home, even in the 2nd pouch away from the body. Compensated by using 1 or 2 dish cloths over my shoulder and it was perfect. This is a weighty product, but not so uncomfortable that I couldn't get up and move.

I torn both rotator cuffs and trying to ice the side of your arm and the top of your shoulder is very hard.This wrap comes in different sizes so be aware of that when you order it. I am a very little person so thesmall works well. The medium was just way to big. Both straps are adjustable. Some people complainabout the coldness but if you read the directions on the ice pack you are not suppose to put them in thewrap right away. You have to leave them out for 15 minutes then put them in. Or you can just do what Ido and that is to put a wash rag inside the wrap so the cold doesn't make you too cold. Really works wellif used properly. I have to adjust the straps to fit around my small arm but that is pretty easy to do as well.With torn rotar cuffs and frozen shoulder which I have in one arm this may seem impossible to do. But believe meyou can't pick up a big 12 x 18 ice pack because it weights to much when you have frozen shoulder. This wrapyou attach after you load the small ice packs in and then you just slide it over your arm and shoulder and pull thestrap and velcro it down. I would recommend this to any one with these type of injuries. Also works well on yourlower calfs which I injured as well. No packs falling off. Great.

I bought this for my wife, a cellist who’s recovering from shoulder surgery. She likes to put ice on her shoulder after she practices the cello. Admittedly she’s not a small person, but the Large/Extra Large size is NOWHERE NEAR big enough. The sleeve isn’t adjustable, and the strap that goes around the body is a good 6 inches too short. You’d think a product designed for athletes would accommodate a wider rage of body types.

This shoulder wrap is VERY well made. It is easy to put on and remove. It provides HEAT OR COLD relief around my ENTIRE shoulder and stays in place (unlike trying to use a rectangular gel pack).A shout out for the seller—I ordered a size Large because I had read a couple of reviews saying that the shoulder wrap ran small. When I received my size Large, the tightening strap went part way around my back because it was simply too big for me. Also, the top of the shoulder portion rippled because there was so much more space in that area than my shoulder could fill. I reached out to the seller through Amazon to ask for a replacement Small/Medium. They quickly sent me the replacement cloth portion, along with a pre-paid shipping label to return the size Large. In two days, I had that replacement! Their customer service matches the quality of their product. Highly recommend!

I own an active wrap for my lower back and have used it for years. I just bought this shoulder wrap after separating my shoulder. It’s a great shoulder wrap. Fits me perfectly and has 2 pockets to hold the gel packs which can be hot or cold. Quality construction , not like some of those cheap ones you find at drug stores. Comes with 2 gel packs.
