Which Shoulder Brace?

Hello… I will be returning to play rugby after surgery to my shoulder 2 years ago for chronic dislocations. I have been looking at braces online but I have no idea what is a good product. I have read the posts on here and looked at the sawa brace, from the picture it looks like the brace has an attachment from under the arm to the side of the chest, is that correct? I need a brace that will allow as much movent as possible. I was looking at the thermoskin double brace for the injured side and then some protection for the other shoulder? Would this brace be any good? Here is a link to the brace. sensored://www.shoulderpaincentral.com/Shoulder_Pain_Products/Double_Shoulder_Support.htmThanks, I appreciate any help…

forearm tendonitits?

(2 discussions)

I’m 35. Saturday I worked with friends to stock a woodpile. It was very cold. I carried heavy logs with both hands and one-handed some heavy split pieces. the following Sunday morning I felt like my right forearm had a bruised spot, but no visible bruise. Hurts more if I stretch out my fingers and flatten my palm, or pinch my finger tips and thumb together. Day three the pain seems worse and there is a swelling between my wrist and elbow, but closer to my wrist. What now??

Stretch for Sartorius muscle?

Have been doing merchandising work, and feeling muscles I haven’t felt in years. Lots of running, lifting, etc. What exercises can I do to strengthen my sartorius muscles? That’s one that my massage therapist noted was very very sore. Also, what could I be doing wrong in lifing to annoy it? I try to lift correctly!Part of my problem could be that I just dicovered my orthotics are maladjusted. I was hurting in all right side joints while wearing them (I’ve had them for quite a while, so it’s not break in problems). When I don’t wear them, I don’t have joint pain in every joint from my shoulder to my ankle. Thanks for suggestions on stretches!:)
