Product Description
Most back related injuries are created in the gym and nearly 20% of all injuries in the workplace are due to heavy lifting. In response there has been a dramatic increase in the use of a back support belt
Do abdominal belts Prevent Injury caused by lifting?
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of weight lifting gym users & workers who rely on back support belts to prevent injury during lifting. Back support belts, are currently worn by not only bodybuilding enthusiasts but workers in numerous industries, including grocery store clerks, airline baggage handlers, and warehouse workers. Employers rely on back support belts to prevent injury. Theses belts are being bought and sold as they reduce the risk of back injury and support the spine. There is currently scientific evidence and theory to suggest that a back support belt can reduce the risk of injury
Reduce Forces on the Spine
Lifting may produce a variety of forces within the body which contribute to the pressure on the spine, termed "loading". A back belt significantly reduces loading during lifting. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that these forces could be reduced with a back support belt
There is evidence that a back support belt increases the stiffness of the spine and the reduction of injury. It would appear that the belt also helps in many industrial lifting situations. There is research showing that workers believe they can lift more when wearing a back support belt.

Colour Name:Black|Size Name:(34"-38") Medium
I've got a real problem with my lower back which somtimes manifests itself as sciatica. Having to sit all day at work isn't good, even if you try to get your posture right. So I thought I'd give this belt a try and I'm really impressed. I can sit for hours without getting the pain in my hip and knee and when I get up out of the chair I still get no pain. You do tend to get a bit sweaty under the belt when wearing it for a while but I'd rather have that than the pain. Also, having to wear a suit for work, you can't really fit it under your clothes. It's ok on dress down Friday's as you can wear it with jeans and under a t-shirt.

Far too big...
Bought the small size for my wife - but far, far too big for her, and design prevents you from tightening sufficiently for slim people. Read more

A good product
I ordered both medium and large as I wasn't sure on how acurate the sizes were. I found that the 'large' was too big for me and sent it back. Read more

Back Support
I did not find this item suitable for women as it rode up on the hips when moving and hit me in the chest. Whether this was because of my pear shape, I do not know.
