NeoTech Care Adjustable Double Pull Lumbar Brace/Lower Back Belt, Black, Size XL

This is a simple and effective lumbar support - whether however you should actually be using a lumbar support is another question - so this item does the job, but should you be wearing it?The problem with support (and this applies to all kinds of supports) is that it weakens the structure it is supporting and yes - there is something as too much support! If you have a lumbar support aka corset, it will stop your own core muscles working.If you are in a lot of pain, then your own muscles will be inhibited from working by the pain, so it is better to get out of pain, keep your back straight and do your back exercises. You need to keep your stomach in and relying on a piece of neoprene to do that work for you and has its own long term consequencesCore muscles are your abs and your spinal back muscles and they need strengthening rather than wearing a corset. However if you need one, then this is a good one. But don’t use it more than you need to and do the exercises regardless and this is the reason I have only given it 4 stars

Was very comfortable but found that this brace was just too long in the body for me, which therefore buckled on the back support when wearing. There was a lot of ruching where the main support on your back and lower spine should be. Very disappointing.Really did like the adjustable double pulls on this, however it did not solve the problem for me.

Recently had operation number four on my bowel and herina . Definitely love this belt gives so much support. I've been meaning to get one ages ago but as I have surgery recently want to do everything to prevent my herina coming back. It was between this support belt and another but I went with this one and glad I did.Reasonable priced. Will get another one for sure.Buy it you won't be disappointed.I purchased size Large.Makes me feel so supported.Couldn't fault it.

The belt feels very supportive - and is much lighter than the one I have been using. I bought large since a lot of the reviews suggested quite a small fit and it is great over my clothes - I am size 14/16. I have since bought one of the magnetic belts designed to be worn under clothes and opted for medium - that is perfect too.

This was recommended by my physio after a really bad back problem. Mainly because I don't use my abdominal muscles when bending and you do a lo of that when gardening. This belt is to keep me supported and a reminder to use the abs. It is comfortable and can be adjusted to your needs. It can make you hot though.
