After shoulder surgery, Sam Jacobsak spent weeks awake — unable to lie on his back, his side, or even sit comfortably in a recliner. His sling wasn't built for sleep. No pillow on the market was. So he turned to his physical therapist, Mike Scaduto, and together they set out to build what didn't exist: a sleep-positioning system that actually protects the shoulder during recovery.
What started as a hand-cut, hot-glued prototype is now a patented medical device recommended by 300+ surgeons and physical therapists, named Forbes' #1 pillow for shoulder recovery, and trusted by 25,000 patients across the country.
- Clinically tested design
- 500+ surgeons recommend
- 30-night risk-free trial
- Free US shipping over $99

Who is this kit for?
It's designed for three groups: post-surgical patients who didn't purchase beforehand, people recovering from a recent injury, and active individuals who want to optimize recovery from workouts or endurance events.
How is this different from the Surgical Protocol Kit?
The Recovery Protocol Kit contains OptiFuel but does not include OptiCharge, which is used for carbohydrate loading before surgery. If you're already past surgery or were injured, you don't need OptiCharge — this kit is built for that stage.
What does OptiFuel contain?
Each packet has 25g of whey protein plus leucine, glutamine, collagen, omega-3s, curcumin, and essential vitamins. The amino acid profile is higher than most standard protein powders and is specifically calibrated for healing and recovery.
How do I take it?
Once per day. Mix one packet into 12–16 oz of water, milk, or non-dairy milk and shake for 30 seconds.
Is it third-party tested?
Yes. OptiFuel is Informed Sport Certified, which means it has been independently tested for quality, purity, and banned substances.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, and it is also non-denatured and produced in the USA.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for it?
Yes, the Recovery Protocol Kit is HSA/FSA eligible.
