Applications of the Full Shoulder Support

Triple Layer Design for Optimum Comfort
The Vulkan Classic Full Shoulder Support is designed to provide the therapeutic properties of heat retention provided by neoprene, while promoting air flow. It consists of three layers that deliver maximum support and comfort.
Breathable and Protective Top Layer
The tough nylon fabric used in the construction of the support's top layer is Mauser stitched along key points to provide the strongest possible seam. This means long lasting support and a guarantee that no matter what your sport or application, your brace will not break or come apart at the seams.
Durable Neoprene Core
The closed cell neoprene core insulates and retains body heat for natural heat therapy, preventing inflammation and swelling from stopping you in your tracks. Neoprene is highly flexible and heat-retentive, amplifying the level of flexible support you get when going about your day.
Aerotherm Lining
The construction of this Aerotherm lining allows air to circulate freely, helping to draw perspiration away from the skin. This intuitive fabric choice prevents odour and sweat building up, fighting irritation, rashes and discomfort as you naturally perspire throughout the day.
How Does the Vulkan Classic Shoulder Support Work?
Combining compression and support, the Vulkan Classic Shoulder Support keeps tendons, ligaments and muscles aligned during strenuous sporting activities. The support brace is easy to apply and fits snugly around the chest and shoulder areas, alleviating the pain associated with a range of conditions like rotator cuff injury, tendonitis and shoulder bursitis.
Why Is Compression and Support Vital During Sporting Activity?
If you suffer with a condition that causes shoulder pain, any movement outside of your day-to-day range can cause serious inflammation and aggravation. This can make playing sport incredibly painful.
A compressive support brace like the Vulkan Classic ensures that any movement you make is supported by a safe level of joint and ligament compression. Compression also ensures that the inflammation and swelling caused by an existing injury doesn't worsen.
What Sports and Activities are Perfect for the Vulkan Chest Support Brace?
The Vulkan Classic Shoulder Support is designed to bolster the ligaments and tendons in and around the shoulder, making it perfect for sports like tennis and badminton where rotation of the shoulder joint is required to perform. Please view the list below to see a full range of sports and activities that can benefit from a Vulkan Chest and Shoulder Support:

Instant Relief Throughout the Day
Regardless of your application and environment, the Vulkan Classic Support Brace can help alleviate pain, injury, strain and discomfort. If you're sat at a desk all day, the Vulkan Classic Support helps correctly align the shoulders and upper spine to promote healthy and correct posture and muscle alignment.
What Are the Benefits of Neoprene Fabric?
Neoprene is an incredibly flexible fabric that seamlessly bends and moves with the body throughout the day. Neoprene is latex free and comes from a family of synthetic rubbers that are highly heat-retentive, making it the ideal fabric of choice for garments designed to provide rehabilitation and targeted support.
Heat Retaining Technology
Neoprene prevents heat escaping the body, making it ideal for use with rehabilitation garments and supports. Heat therapy is proven to enhance recovery and minimise inflammation, allowing you to quickly get back to doing what you love.
