Shock DoctorICE/Heat Recovery Compression Shoulder & Elbow Wrap Brace, Reusable Gel Ice Packs for Injuries, Hot Cold Therapy

My son is 14 years old and pitches a couple of times a week. His coach who was a left handed pitcher for the Detroit Tigers organization recommended that my son ice his arm after every outing on the mound. I found a similar product at a local sporting goods store however it was expensive and I did not like how it looked like an old ice pack with a neoprene strap. I found this on Amazon and purchased it immediately. This thing is awesome! It uses several gel ice packs which provides cooling recovery of the entire shoulder and elbow area. Before every game, I take the gel packs out of the freezer, placed them in the individual pockets and I put the entire contraption in a small ice cooler. My son can put this on himself however I help him tighten the velcro straps for a better fit. He leaves this on between tournament games and for the entire ride home after a game. My son absolutely loves this product and says he's able to recover more quickly to take the bump when called upon.

My daughter is a softball pitcher. She is 15, about 5’5” and 130 lbs. It fits perfect with a little room to grow, it should last through her career.It’s easy to put on and holds the cold for hours. We just put it in a cooler after we take it out of the freezer.We ice for 20 minutes after she throws a game.We will see in the heat of summer and multiple games how well it stays cold all day. But, our plan is to put it back in a cooler of ice after she takes it off.On a side note, we put it in a plastic bag to keep it directly off of the ice.

Worked great for icing my shoulder injury. If you have an injured shoulder which I'm pretty sure you do if you are considering buying this; you'll probably need help cinching it down the Velcro pull tabs. I'm 6' 200+lbs. and it fit me. My teenage daughter who is considerably smaller than me uses it and it fits her as well. The pockets put the ice in the perfect position to cover your shoulder joint. There's even an attachment for your arm which I sometimes use for my sore ankle. It's made of quality material and the straps are sturdy. If you have a shoulder injury or have shoulder surgery that they recommend icing then definitely buy this.

This Shock Doctor Ice Recovery Shoulder Elbow Compression Wrap really does work very well and if you want an ice pack that penetrates for a long duration right to your bones this is the pack for you. Just make sure you are protected with a thin sleeve because this pack will get your arm and shoulders so cold they will numb them.

I really like using this as I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. So I use the heat and cooling. It’s really nice and easy to wear. I only have 1 problem it has latex in it and I have a fairly bad latex allergy. So in order to prevent myself from going into anaphylaxis I wear a sleeve underneath both braces. I just want to let other people know who might have latex issue.

Works great but a bit hard to put on specially by yourself.

I got this for my baseball catcher son. The ice packs that it came with were not good - they were too stiff and hard to work with and didn’t stay cold that long. We ended up using the sleeve to hold on other ice packs. It’s a little hard to put on yourself - ask a friend for help. That said, it does a good job keeping the ice packs on the shoulder and/ or elbow areas.

This product fits well and has good elbow and shoulder coverage. I get most of my pain in my forearm and under my bicep, and with a slight adjustment to the elbow piece it covers both areas nicely. Product seems well made with quality materials. Despite some recent debate about whether icing promotes or inhibits healing, the fact is that when your arm is throbbing you don't care. This is a good pain relieving tool and drastically reduces my dependence on NSAID'S. Worth the $$, a must-have for us old guys
