For those participating in action sports, shoulder injuries can be a common occurrence. Whether it’s the two-wheel variety or some other type of action sport, the potential for a crash or impact that can result in a shoulder injury is ever-present. Recovery from a shoulder injury can be a long and arduous process that is also susceptible to re-injury if not allowed to heal properly.
That’s why at EVS Sports, we created a line of shoulder braces and supports for action sports athletes that are one of the best options on the market for dealing with shoulder injuries. Many of our customers tell us they wear their EVS shoulder braces when mountain biking, when playing stick-and-ball sports, and we’ve even heard of instances where trade workers wear them daily on the job site.
With four unique models to choose from, the EVS line of shoulder braces and supports includes options for each user’s specific needs and budget. This article provides a brief, high-level overview of the various models that make up the EVS line of shoulder braces specifically designed to help improve shoulder injury recovery, management, and prevention.
