Shoulder Protections

During weight carrying, the shoulders are subjected to constant pressure, which can affect the joint. In addition to the pressure caused by the weight, the load carried can also pinch or irritate the skin.

The use of tools, such as leaf blowers and hedge trimmers commonly used by gardeners and landscapers, adds vibrations to the weight carried. These vibrations are transmitted to the shoulder, increasing the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

A shoulder protector or work shoulder pad helps reduce pressure on the shoulder and protects it from potential cuts.
