Elasto Gel, Hot/Cold Wrap, Shoulder Wrap, 6-Pound

Confusing info. They offer a product number SW9001 Shoulder Wrap (no size specified) and SW9004 Sm/Med Sleeve and SW9005 Lg/LX Sleeve. Checking the manufacturers website they offer no additional info. What I got is the SW9001. Since it is much too large to lay out flat in any microwave oven to heat one must fold it this way and that in order to get it warm. That resulted in some hot spots while other areas remain relatively cool. I got this to help with my adhesive capsulitis and have very limited range of motion in my left shoulder. Trying to get this thing on and in place by myself was very difficult and by the time I fumbled around it had cooled considerably. The adjustable wide strap that goes across ones back and under the opposite arm tends to not stay snugged up and tight. I'm not sure it's really worth the price.

I'm 5'5" weighing 160lbs - not a small woman, but I find this wrap to be too large. I can't get it to fit well in the area I need it to be snug. The arm portion sits almost to my elbow. I use the previous reviewer's advice about putting extra gel packs inside of it and that's working to put the cold where I need it (snugs it up in a sense).Since first writing this I tried to contact this company to inquire about getting a smaller size (I noticed that the company that makes this product does make a smaller size), but this seller never replied to my inquiry. So, I went looking elsewhere on the web and found that a company called painrelieverdotcom does carry the small/medium size. It is working much better than this large one available here. I highly recommend it if you're an average to small size woman - as I said, the "large" size is too big to fit snugly enough to apply the cold directly enough to be effective.I really like the concept, and using it is allowing me to move around and work on my computer while I do my post-exercising icing.Over-all, it's better than conventional ice packs that require you to sit motionless for the duration of each icing session.

My husband has shoulder issues and my son is a baseball pitcher so we thought this would be a great product for both. Unfortunately it doesn't get as cold as some of the other wraps we have tried so it is not as effective as we had hoped... the design makes it difficult for one person to put it on themselves (especially with a sore shoulder!) ... overall not as great of a product as we had expected

It took me a few tries to learn the best way to secure the shoulder wrap, but once I did I found that it applied cold to the entire area quite well. It helped me identify that even though my shoulder was the problem, pain was also going down my arm, so I appreciated that the wrap goes down to my elbow.I only gave 4 stars because I wish the wrap was a little colder on my skin (the material containing the gel acts like a thermal insulator, so you don't feel the full effect of the frozen gel).

The design is bulking and it is very heavy! I can't imagine strapping it on my shoulder or back and working out as advertised. Biggest complaint, even though I love the Elasto/Gel back cold/hot therapy wrap, is company does not offer a return for item.

Purchased for my son after shoulder surgery. Recommended by the physical therapist. He found it extremely helpful and still uses it as needed.

What I like about the Shoulder wrap is that it allows me to move around while I'm wearing it. It is, however, a bit awkward geting it on and it is quite heavy. It does do the job once you get it on.

My girlfriend has had trouble with her shoulder for some time, and physical therapy has helped tremendously, when we've been able to get her there. Afterwards, the wrap feels wonderful, and helps alleviate the temporary pain. The one drawback is that it is very hard to put on onesself -- if you have help, you're fine. It holds the cold pretty well, and stays in position on the shoulder nicely, too.
