How It Works

Anyone who has slept in a bulky sling with straps rubbing on your neck and a ring digging into your back knows how uncomfortable it can be.

The ShoulderIt vest makes sleeping after rotator cuff repair, labrum surgery, or shoulder replacement so much more comfortable. The less restrictive design and ability to adjust your hand and arm placement without disturbing your sleep are huge perks. It’s a simple change that makes a big difference in the recovery experience!

No irritating straps: Unlike a sling, which often has straps that rub against the neck and can cause irritation, this option is more comfortable.

Easily adjustable: Easier to adjust, providing a more customized fit.

No ring in the back: No ring in the back makes it more comfortable to lie down or sleep without pressure on the back

More comfortable and user-friendly option compared to a traditional sling

The main reason you'd want to move your arm while sleeping is to allow for natural adjustments during the night.

Comfort and Pain Relief: When you sleep, your body shifts to find a more comfortable position. If your arm is restricted by a sling or rigid support, it can lead to discomfort, cramping, or even exacerbate pain. Having the freedom to move helps prevent these issues.

Avoiding Pressure Points: When your arm is immobilized, certain pressure points can develop, leading to discomfort or pain. Being able to adjust the position of your arm lets you relieve that pressure.

Ultimately, it’s about ensuring that you can sleep comfortably and wake up feeling rested, without adding extra strain to your body or healing injury.
