Enhance Your Shoulder Rehabilitation with the Patent Pending Shoulder Rehabilitation Brace

Engaging in repetitive shoulder and scapular hiking movements during the rehabilitation period can have a detrimental impact on the patient’s ability to regain full range of motion. This diminishes the proper functionality of the shoulder joint and limits the strength of shoulder recovery.

Say Goodbye to Compensatory "Shoulder Hiking"

The Shoulder Rehabilitation Brace is specifically designed to prevent patients from engaging in compensatory “shoulder hiking” (commonly known as a shoulder shrug) motion during their Physical Therapy Rehab sessions following an injury or surgery.

  • Optimize Your Recovery: When the Shoulder Rehab Brace is worn during shoulder rehab exercises or used as a daily “training aid,” it optimizes a patient’s recovery by guiding the shoulder joint in an anatomically correct manner.

During in-clinic shoulder rehab sessions, a skilled Physical Therapist places their hand on the patient’s trapezius area to prevent “shoulder hiking.” However, when patients perform home-based exercises prescribed by their therapist, they often lack that guiding hand to “hold down” the trapezius area and prevent shoulder hiking.

  • Avoid Reinforcing Bad Habits: When home therapy exercises are consistently performed incorrectly, this reinforces poor biomechanical habits that often lead to unsatisfactory outcomes.

Bringing the Clinic to Your Home

The Shoulder Rehab Brace has been meticulously designed to replicate the expert touch of a physical therapist, mimicking the “hand on trapezius area” technique applied in a clinical setting. With our Brace, patients can now perform their rehab exercises in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they maintain the correct anatomical form.

The Brace effectively locks down the trapezius, preventing any unwanted upward shoulder shrug movements, commonly referred to as “shoulder hiking.” It also secures the retraction of the shoulder blades in the mid-back area of the trapezius, ensuring comprehensive and accurate rehabilitation.

Clinic-Quality Care at Home

Our Shoulder Rehab Brace brings the expertise of a physical therapist to your living room, allowing you to rehab at home effectively.

Maintain Correct Form

With the Brace, the trapezius is securely locked down, preventing shoulder shrug movements and ensuring proper shoulder blade retraction.
