For frozen shoulder, rotator cuff and bursitis ache
Soothing warmth and a gentle massage loosen a stiff shoulder, so reaching and stretching feel easier, starting with your first 15 minutes. Easy to put on by yourself.
Made for you if your shoulder…
How it works
Warmth loosens a stiff shoulder and a gentle massage eases the knots, so reaching and stretching feel easier.
Seen from the front, worn on the left shoulder.
3 levelsfrom 104°F on Low, with overheat protection
Three heat levels wrap the shoulder cap in steady warmth, right through a T-shirt. Tight muscles start to let go.
1 strapacross the chest, one buckle
Slip it over your shoulder, pull the strap across your chest and buckle it. Made for the days you can barely lift that arm.
2-in-1warmth and massage, together or alone
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.
2 hrsabout, per charge
Clips to your upper arm with three buttons: power, heat and massage. Hold power for 3 seconds to switch it on or off, no need to look. Charges by USB-C, so there is no cord while you move.
How to use it
Warm for 15 minutes, then stretch for 10. Your plan shows you how.
Warm 15 · Stretch 10
Over a T-shirt, on your left or right shoulder. Let the wrap settle over the top of your arm.
Bring the strap under your other arm and buckle it. Snug, not tight.
Hold power for 3 seconds, then press heat. Start on Low and add the massage if you like.
Read, have coffee, or settle in before bed. Fifteen warm minutes, and getting comfortable comes with less ache.
While the shoulder is loose, do the stretches in Dr. Anna's plan with the door pulley and band.
Made for real life
Painful days? Heat alone on level 1. As it loosens, warm first, then stretch. Your plan walks you through every phase.
The research
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.
Reviews
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.
At age 81 I have had shoulder pain for a long time and this product really helped.
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.
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, the heat plus massage feels good for my bursitis. Recommend.
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.
Omg I love this product so much. It works so well. It was charged fully when I received it so I could work it right away. Best money I’ve ever spent!!!! So easy to use as well.

The details
“Fifteen warm minutes, and a stiff shoulder is ready for your gentle stretches.”
The No-Lose Promise
Easy to put on by yourself, or it’s free to return.
Still unsure? A real person answers every email within 1 business day.
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.
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.
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.
15 minutes, once or twice a day. Then do your stretches while the shoulder is warm and loose.
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.
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.
Either one. It goes on over a T-shirt, and the strap fits chests from 27 to 55 in.
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
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.
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.
Unclip the controller, then spot-clean the wrap with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. Never soak it.
