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.
Ice Packs & Heat Therapy: When and How to Use Them After Shoulder Surgery
Why You Need Them
Swelling and pain are the two constants of early shoulder recovery. Ice is one of the most effective tools you have — and having it ready before surgery means you're not scrambling on day one.
Cold Pack — When to Use It
Use cold during the first 48–72 hours after surgery and throughout the first 1–2 weeks whenever swelling or acute pain flares up. Apply for 15–20 minutes at a time, with at least 45 minutes between sessions.
Heat — When to Use It
Once the acute inflammation phase has passed — usually after the first 1–2 weeks — gentle heat can help with stiffness and improve circulation to the healing tissue. Do not switch to heat early.
How Long to Keep Using Them
Most patients rely heavily on ice packs for the first two weeks, then taper off as swelling subsides. Keep them handy throughout recovery — flare-ups from physical therapy sessions or accidental overuse are common.
Stop Waking Up in Pain
See why regular pillows fail shoulder recovery patients.
- Problem 1: A bag of ice or frozen peas shifts around, leaks, and doesn't stay on the shoulder
- Problem 2: Flat ice packs only contact one side of the joint, leaving the rest untreated
- Problem 3: Single-use ice bags create ongoing waste and expense
- Problem 4: Separate hot and cold packs mean buying two different products
- Problem 5: Generic ice packs are sized for one body part only
- Benefit 1:Wrap-around design stays securely in place with adjustable straps — no holding, no repositioning
- Benefit 2: 360° coverage treats the entire joint surface — front, back, and sides simultaneously
- Benefit 3: Reusable gel insert — freeze or microwave repeatedly with no replacement needed
- Benefit 4: One wrap does both — switch between hot and cold therapy with the same product
- Benefit 5: Versatile fit works across the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and wrist with the same wrap
