Copper Shoulder Brace with Hot/Cold Pocket: When and How to Wear It
, by Joe S, 1 min reading time
How a copper shoulder brace with a hot/cold pocket works, when people wear one, and tips for getting a comfortable fit.
The shoulder moves more than any other joint, so it's no surprise that a lot of people look for extra support after workouts, sports or physical work. Here's what to know about the Copper Joe copper shoulder brace.
What a shoulder brace does
A shoulder brace wraps the shoulder and upper arm in adjustable compression. The snug support helps the shoulder feel steady during everyday movement. The Copper Joe brace also has a built-in pocket that holds a hot or cold pack where you want it (pack not included).
When people wear one
- After workouts, swimming, tennis or golf
- During physical jobs like construction, stocking shelves or landscaping
- On rest days, with a cold pack after activity or a warm pack on a stiff morning
Hot or cold?
Many people use a cold pack after activity and a warm pack when muscles feel stiff. Follow the directions that come with your pack, keep a layer of fabric between the pack and your skin, and limit sessions to the time the pack's instructions recommend.
Getting a good fit
- Put the brace on over a thin shirt or bare skin.
- Adjust the hook-and-loop straps until it feels snug but not tight.
- You should still be able to move your arm comfortably.
- Loosen it if you feel numbness, tingling or pinching.
The brace is one adjustable size for men and women. See our size guide for other products.
Pair it with an arm sleeve
For coverage down the arm, add a copper arm compression sleeve, or get both in our shoulder and arm bundle.
A quick note
A shoulder brace is a support and comfort product, not a medical treatment. If you have a shoulder injury, ongoing pain, or you're recovering from surgery, follow your doctor's or physical therapist's advice.
