Shoulder pads - Support and stability

When is it time to use shoulder pads?

Shoulder protectors may be necessary for various types of shoulder injuries, often caused by overuse or accidents. The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile joints in the body, making it more prone to injury. Common shoulder injuries that can affect many people are overloading, dislocation or muscle damage. Some of our shoulder pads are also useful for clavicle dislocation, and in some cases a more advanced shoulder support may be required to correct movement, provide compression and increase stability of the joint.

The benefits of shoulder pads and shoulder supports

Shoulder pads and shoulder supports are indispensable for both treating and preventing shoulder injuries. Here are some examples of when these products can be very helpful:

• Shoulder instability: Provides extra stability for the shoulder joint, reducing the risk of twisting and overuse injuries.
  
• Overexertion: By providing compression and support, pain and discomfort from overexertion is relieved.
  
• Acute injuries: Stabilises and protects the shoulder after injuries such as sprains or strains, facilitating the healing process.
  
• Rehabilitation: Helps restore mobility and strength to muscles after injury or surgery.
  

In summary, both shoulder pads and shoulder supports are effective tools for relieving pain, preventing re-injury and aiding healing.

What types of shoulder supports are there?

Shoulder braces
Shoulder supports provide pain relief and warmth to the shoulder. They are suitable for milder problems such as inflammation, instability or overuse, and are often lighter and more flexible than other types of shoulder protectors.

Shoulder pads
For more serious injuries, such as a dislocated shoulder, a more advanced shoulder protector is recommended. This brace corrects movement, provides compression and stabilises the shoulder joint, facilitating healing and reducing pain.
