Weight Lifting Shoulder Support

Shoulder Supports

Weightlifting is a type of physical activity designed to improve body fitness and muscular strength by exercising a specific muscle or a group of muscles against external resistance, such as body weight, weight mechanics, and free-weight. Improper weight lifting techniques or overstretching can cause shoulder ligaments to tear, resulting in shoulder pain. The most common shoulder injuries weightlifters can face are rotator cuff tear, sprain or strain, bicep tendon tears, and more.

STRONG ARM SUPPORT & STABILITY

360 Relief shoulder sling is designed to keep your arm suspended with or without a cast. Wearing a sling keeps your arm against your body and prevents you from moving your arm too much as you heal after injury.

When you feel shoulder pain during or after weightlifting, you should end the session and consult your GP immediately. They will diagnose the causes of the pain and treat the symptoms accordingly. Non-invasive treatments such as rest, ice massage, compression bandages, and elevating the injured areas are best to reduce the mild-to-moderate symptoms. Wearing shoulder supports help reduce the chances of an injury during weightlifting exercises. They take the extra pressure off the shoulder joints and muscles whilst avoiding overstretching or overuse.

Ensure that you are using shoulder braces made with stretchable, breathable, and moisture-wicked materials. These will help prevent overheating during weightlifting or a gym session. Shoulder supports also help compress the shoulder joints by reducing instability and inflammation, helping injuries to heal faster. They also help speed up the recovery process following a shoulder injury or surgery by providing the needed compressions to the injured areas.

If you want to wear shoulder braces to protect your shoulders from overloading, you can wear them throughout your weightlifting session. Wearing shoulder braces for too long can be harmful because they can restrict your range of motion and weaken your shoulder muscles. It is advisable to wear shoulder support under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

Choosing the shoulder supports is the most important thing to consider. There are different types of shoulder braces according to their support level, types, sizes, and more. Generally, the protection level is divided into three categories: level 1 shoulder braces offer the least amount of compression, level 2 shoulder braces provide moderate compression; however, level 3 braces provide extra protection and are heavier than the others. Make sure that your shoulder brace is fitted properly to get maximum results. A loosely fitted brace can worsen your pain, whereas a tightly fitted brace can restrict blood circulation.

Consult your GP or professional workout trainers to choose the right shoulder brace according to your requirements. At 360 relief, you can find a range of shoulder braces to get the maximum benefits during weightlifting.
