Full specs and what's in the box

How it works

Warmth, massage, then movement.

Warmth loosens a stiff shoulder and a gentle massage eases the knots, so reaching and stretching feel easier.

    Warmth you can feel through a T-shirt

    Three heat levels wrap the shoulder cap in steady warmth, right through a T-shirt. Tight muscles start to let go.

    Easy to put on yourself

    Slip it over your shoulder, pull the strap across your chest and buckle it. Made for the days you can barely lift that arm.

    Gentle vibration works into the tight spots while the warmth sinks in, with a low hum. Want it silent? Heat on its own makes no sound.

How to use it

Five easy steps.

Warm for 15 minutes, then stretch for 10. Your plan shows you how.

  1. The Shoulder Wrap on its own: gray breathable perforated wrap, black chest strap with buckle and the clip-on controller

    Step 1: Slip it on

    Over a T-shirt, on your left or right shoulder. Let the wrap settle over the top of your arm.

  2. Woman in her sixties pulling the Shoulder Wrap strap across her chest with one hand

    Step 2: Pull the strap across

    Bring the strap under your other arm and buckle it. Snug, not tight.

Made for real life

Made for shoulders like yours.

Painful days? Heat alone on level 1. As it loosens, warm first, then stretch. Your plan walks you through every phase.

What it helps with

  • Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff and bursitis ache
  • The ache that keeps you from getting comfortable at night
  • Getting dressed, fastening your bra, reaching the seatbelt
  • Warming up before your stretches

The research

Why warm, then stretch

Warm first, then stretch: the order physical therapists use. Here is the research.

  • Heat firstthen stretch

    Orthopedic surgeons advise warming the shoulder before you stretch. That is the order of Warm 15 · Stretch 10.

    American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (OrthoInfo)

  • 15 minof warmth before you stretch

    Warmth opens up blood vessels and relaxes tight muscles, so a warm shoulder moves more easily.

    Cleveland Clinic, heat therapy (15 to 20 minutes at a time)

Warm it first, then stretch. Fifteen warm minutes, and the stretches feel gentler to start.

  • Frozen shoulder recovery purchase

    I had arthroscopic debridement, capsulectomy, lysis of adhesions, and manipulation under anesthesia about a month ago (I know, a mouthful, but it’s aka frozen shoulder surgery), and even with therapy twice a week and me doing my HEP, my arm is stiffening back up. I was told to get a heating pad for my shoulder instead of the ice machine now since we’re post recovery, and I decided to buy this one with the massager. O-M-G. I feel better already. My neck, shoulder, and traps feel more moveable.

  • Excellent value

    At age 81 I have had shoulder pain for a long time and this product really helped.

    David
  • Thus far, this seems like a great product, except…

    It seems to be truly relieving the pain and discomfort I have been suffering in my shoulder and upper arm. Fingers crossed it will aid in the healing process!! It is easy to use, except that the data screen is almost impossible to see and read when the product is on your body!

    Our tip: Set your level before you clip the controller on. To change it later, count your presses, so there is nothing to read.

  • Perfect relief for shoulder tendonitis

    The wrap fits my shoulder perfectly, staying in place without slipping, and because it’s cordless, I can freely move around during treatment instead of being stuck next to an outlet.

  • Excellent shoulder relief

    Excellent shoulder relief, the heat plus massage feels good for my bursitis. Recommend.

  • So nice I had to buy it twice

    My father has a damaged rotator cuff and I’ve seen the improvement in his mobility and flexibility. He could never lift his arm up to shoulder height without severe agonising pain. After using the first one I bought for months, he is now able to lift his arm to shoulder height with no pain.

Good to know

Still unsure? A real person answers every email within 1 business day.

Does it help a frozen shoulder?

It's made for it. On the painful days, use heat alone on level 1. As it loosens, warm for 15 minutes, then do the stretches in your 6-week plan, step by step.

Is it easy to put on by myself?

Yes. Slip it over your shoulder, pull the strap across your chest and buckle it, then press the button. Not right for you? Send it back free, even worn.

Can I use it at night?

Yes. Up at 3 a.m.? Fifteen warm minutes in your recliner or in bed as you settle in. Then hold the power button for 3 seconds to switch it off, by feel, and slip it off before you drift back to sleep. Overheat protection is built in.

How long should I use it?

15 minutes, once or twice a day. Then do your stretches while the shoulder is warm and loose.

Does the ease last after I take it off?

The warmth fades, but the movement you gain while the shoulder is warm stays with you. That is why the stretches come right after: day by day, reaching gets easier.

Is it noisy?

Heat on its own is silent, so it is easy to use beside someone sleeping. The massage adds a hum, in 3 levels or off.

Left or right shoulder?

Either one. It goes on over a T-shirt, and the strap fits chests from 27 to 55 in.

Is it safe for me?

For most adults, yes. Start on level 1 over a T-shirt and check your skin after 5 minutes. Diabetes or reduced feeling? Stay on level 1 and ask your doctor first. A pacemaker, or a recent injury or surgery? Check with your doctor first. Safety guide

Can I try it risk-free?

Yes. Try it at home for 90 nights, even used. Not in love? We email you a free label and refund you as soon as it's scanned. And it's covered for 2 years: a replacement ships first.

Shipping and gifts

Tracked shipping is $4.90, free on orders of $150 or more, so two wraps, one for you and one for Mom, ship free. It makes a kind gift: add a note in your cart and we will include it.

How do I clean it?

Unclip the controller, then spot-clean the wrap with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. Never soak it.
