UTK Jade Infrared Rotator Cuff Heating Pad for Shoulders Pain Relief, Heated Shoulder Brace for Keep Shoulders Health, Physical Therapy, EMF Free, Auto Shut Off and Smart Controller

I've had this 5 days and have used it all 5 days in a row now, sometimes more than once a day. I wear it over a short sleeve tee and ensure the sleeve is pulled thru the end of the heating pad so the stones aren't right on my skin. It's easy to put on, heats up well, has a lengthy cord, the controller is super-easy to use and it's definitely helping the pain from my torn rotator cuff. I actually look forward to wearing this each day and I hope it continues to deliver the heat that it has so far. Prior to this I was using a Bed Buddy heat sock warmed in the microwave and that which works ok for moist heat, but it slips with movement and I was constantly having to rearrange it. This UTK Shoulder heat pad is form fitted and is so much more convenient: It stays in place, I can turn up or down the heat and adjust the amount of time easily from the controller at anytime - or turn it off and on without removing it from my shoulder. Also, the cord allows to unplug just beyond the controller to get up and move around without completely unplugging from the wall socket - bringing the already heated-up shoulder pad with you as you do this or that. UTK definitely thought this out and designed a great product for those suffering from shoulder pain. As long as the heat continues to deliver, I'll continue to be satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to also try other UTK products as well.

My shoulder symptoms: difficult to raise arm, cannot lift any weight over shoulder height, cannot stretch, cannot lay on side, laying down flat on back cannot raise arm over head. **** Basically, it knocks me to my knees in sharp pain when I do anything but rest the arm. I have used this brace twice so far. Observations and Notes: √. it gets nice and warm - I recommend using this wrap over a tee shirt or something if going to use the high setting. √ it is not super easy to get on when the shoulder is so tender to move - the strap that goes around the back is difficult for me to hold onto and move to position. I get it eventually, taking it slow. But I wish it were easier so I don't stress my shoulder as I need to "help" with that arm to get this thing on. √. it is not easy to wrap around arm with only one hand - re-adjusting the size once on is near impossible for me. I have to take the whole thing off, velcro the arm band without my arm in it, slide arm in and hope I got it about it. Once on, undoing the velcro makes me have to take the pad off and trial and error it to get right size as I cannot hold both sides to put it on. √. the heat is focused on the top of shoulder running down a bit along the arm. It folds over the shoulder front and back about... 3 inches or so... it basically reaches down to the top of my collar bone. √ it does not really get my front Joint as hot as the top of shoulder - the main HEAT is on the top of the shoulder. The design of the wrap does not work well with attempts to re-position the heat where I want to feel it the most, the front joint area. Sorry, I do not know the names of the bones. I end up pulling it tight down and under my breast to hold into place. Overall... I like the heat it heats up pretty fast I wish it were easier to put on I wish the heat were more on the front of the shoulder joint I do believe the HEAT is helping with circulation and healing. After only 2 uses, the next day the ache is gone until I move the arm where it does not want to go. I do think my mobility has already improved as well! This particular warp is likely just not suited for my body and or injury. UPDATE Been using it about 4 nights a week after work for about a month now. I can feel and see improvement in mobility and level of pain. Still not 100%; however, this seems to help the healing process. As I get more movement with my left shoulder, getting it on and off is a lot easier!!

This is my 3rd UTK Far Infrared heating pad. I love them that much! I have a medium sized rectangle pad similar to every other style heating pad, a waist/lower back wrap which is great for smaller areas and to not make you overall too hot and now this shoulder wrap. Pros: Gets nice and hot but it's not a burning heat. It's more like the sun shining down on you. Easy to use controls. Stretchy straps with wide velcro enclosures. Well made, no risk of the velcro detaching. Long cord with easy to use controls. Can be used on either shoulder. Cons: Only thing I can think of is that it MIGHT be a little difficult for someone with limited mobility to attach. In that case I'd recommend just laying it across the sore shoulder and not attaching the straps or attaching them however works in that instance. The straps are long and stretchy enough for that. If you have chronic shoulder pain such as rotator cuff soreness I would highly recommend this product.

I really wanted this to work. I looked at a ton of electric shoulder heating pads on Amazon and they all had equally mixed reviews, so I settled for this one since it had fast shipping. I have inflammation/tendinopathy at the rotator cuff due to a prior injury and its constantly aching or actively throbbing from use. I’m a male in my early 30s, somewhat wide shoulders, lean frame. This stays on well enough, but getting it strapped on is really difficult when you’re already injured. For a product developed for shoulder pain, it doesn’t seem to have been developed with the understanding that someone with shoulder pain is trying to fasten this using one arm. By the time I had it on my, my shoulder was aching. The temperature goes up eventually, but it also randomly fluctuates and has to crawl back up again. The design of the strap doesn’t allow it to sit tightly against the contour of your body, which to me negates the entire purpose. If I have to lie down or hold it on to feel it against my skin, I’ll just use a $20 heating pad. The other major issue with this product is that when strapped on my shoulder, the back of it doesn’t reach my rotator cuff or even get remotely close to covering it. The backside of the heated area is very short from top to bottom, and to feel it on your rotator cuff you have to tug it back and down, which means it isn’t sitting where it should be and you won’t feel heat anywhere else on your shoulder. But, I really found that to be the case no matter where I strapped it. Even when I tighten the strap as much as I can and have it positioned where it should be, the strap is not tight enough against the contour of my shoulder to provide anything more than mild warmth. Because of the design, the high heat really only hits in a few random places. After about 15 minutes of feeling nothing but minimal warmth I started to feel burning at the very top of my shoulder, which I realized was because it actually was at a high temperature but only hitting one tiny point on the top of my shoulder. This is a really bad product across the board. It shouldn’t be used for shoulder pain.

I've purchased other UTK mats and really appreciate the pain relief. I like the concept of this shoulder unit and that it can be used on other parts of the body. There are two problems: 1. The straps for both the arm and body are too short. 2. The velcro does NOT hold at all. I will fix this by sewing an extender with working velcro for both straps. However, at this price, I should not have to do this. Without these issues, I would have rated 5 stars.

After swinging mini sledge & cold chisel for two days my shoulder reminded me I was in my 70s. Took a couple days off but the shoulder got worse. Ordered the UTK Shoulder pad. By the time it arrived (2 days prime) I couldn't raise my arm enough to put on a tee shirt - only wore buttoned up shirts. It was tricky getting it on (best way for me was to slide it up my arm with lower strap closed loosely, lean against the wall to hold it in place while tightening the 'round the chest' strap, then tighten the lower strap). I started with 45 min at 120 then off for a couple hours and by that first night bedtime had completed 3 heating cycles. I could feel the shoulder loosening up. Next day did the same 45 min but upped the temp to 125. By the third day I was able to swing the sledge again - but only for 30min at a time and was done that part of the project by the end of the week. Used the heating pad every evening for at least 1 1/2 hours at 125 and slept well. This pad works! I got that job done and still have an functional shoulder for golf.

I have a torn rotator cuff waiting on orthopedic doctor appointment. The heat this pad puts out is great! Takes a while to heat up the stones but it is well worth the wait. Takes a couple minutes to go from room temperature to 145 degrees where I have mine set. I really like the memory function. Turn it on and hit the memory button and it is set where you want it. The temperature control is set in increments of 1 degree. Goes up to 159 degrees Fahrenheit! The shut down timer goes up to 240 minutes in increments of 15 minutes. I have mine set for 2 hours so when I put it on at night and fall asleep I know it will shut down shortly after I am asleep. The power cord is nice and long, but also if you need to unhook the power cord to be mobile for a minute it is easy to disconnect and reconnect. And disconnecting power it still retains its memory. The straps that go around your body are a little difficult to reach around your back. All in all I really like this heating pad. It is well worth the money!

Positives - Good quality product which really heats up fast and evenly apply heat to the affected shoulder area. Stones really gets hot and i would recommend not to wear on bare skin with its maximum temperature setting of 159. Better to wear a thin t-shirt under to avoid direct contact with skin if you intend to keep it at max temperature. I had a shoulder tendonitis due to excessive gyming and this product really helped to heal it much faster. Negatives - Strap design can be improved, you literally need two people to help you wrap this product. Its almost impossible to put the other end of velcro on the back side of strap. Also for ease of reach if you wrap this on upper waist, then it slowly slides up which makes it loose on the shoulder and you dont get heat penetration effectively. If want to wrap it on your chest for a tighter grip then you definitely need another person to help you tie the velcro behind your back. I think a hard plastic buckle in front with a longer strap coming from back side will be much more easier to manage and will help to wrap this product in multiple positions/angles very easily. Overall i highly recommend this product , it delivers what it promise.

Wearing the shoulder wrap for 30 to 60 minutes while reading provides relief from the pain in my shoulders and arm-tops. It’s not a cure for arthritis but it does give effective pain relief. I tried the lower back model first, thinking that it would be effective for my shoulders too. However the fitted shape is better for my shoulders. It is a little difficult to fit without help, but easier with practice. The main difficulty is the length of the strap which fits around the back from the left shoulder. If this were a little longer it would be much easier to reach with my right hand halfway up my back. It may have been designed for fit people, not taking into account the difficulties brought about by arthritic joints, with less movement and reach. A little bit longer please for the straps, to make it more user friendly for those with joints that it is designed to help.

I received my UTK shoulder heating pad within 3 days of ordering, so tried it straight away, it eased the pain in my shoulder whilst it was on, I found it a little hard to set up the first time I used it but is ok now.
