Body Glove 90313 Open Road Back Support, Black, Large

by Body Glove

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Provides lower back support even when in the driver’s seat. High-rise front panels allow for strong support when working and comfort when seated. 5” cinch straps adjust to give desired level of compression. Breathable Lycra spandex and knit elastic construction. Removable shoulder straps. Four sewn-in stays, 1-1/4-inch wide elastic shoulder straps. Machine wash cool, dry flat. How to wear: The support should be worn over the first layer of clothing--such as a shirt or t-shirt--but not over a vest or jacket. It should fit the curve of the lower back without bulk between the support and the back. The support should rest LOW on the hips, where low back pain occurs. The support should be worn between the navel and tailbone, over the lumbar vertebrae. Do not wear the support up high, as if it were a belt or a corset. Adjust the shoulder straps so the support hangs loosely at the level where it will be worn. If the adjustment is too short, it will cause the support to slide up on the body. The purpose of the straps is to keep the support handy when worn loosely. The shoulder straps should not be so loose that they hang away from the body and could possibly become tangled in equipment.

I have had the worst kind of back problem for 28 years, a herniated disk. No matter how careful I am it goes out on average every two to three weeks. It ranges from in the hospital serious, medium serious to mostly small but hurts like hell for a couple of weeks serious. Many years ago I was going to get a back operation but at the last minute I decided to try and control it myself with care and exercise. I used a good back exercise program which helped but usually I ended up still hurting my back. So, fast forward 28 years. I wanted to attempt a solo sailing adventure (at age 76)called the Texas 200 in the Gulf. I would have to drive 3300 miles round trip, sail for five days in an 8 ft. boat (I only made two days because of a break down)and hope my back didn't go out or I might be stranded 1700 miles from home and unable to drive back. So I bought the body glove back support thinking it might give me an edge in support for my back. Knock on wood I can't believe that my back hasn't gone out in 4 months and especially during my strenuous trip. I put this thing on every morning just like I do my socks and wear it everywhere almost. Sometimes even in a restaurant. I can't believe it's been this effective but it's true. I believe any back support of this kind would have worked but I think wearing it constantly is the secrete for me. Like they say, even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while. I think I blindly stumbled on to something that works for me at least.

I have had a back support belt similar to this for years now. I needed to have two more to keep handy at work and in my truck. This belt is of superior quality and I found it for a ridiclously low price. I only bought one because I couldn't believe it could be anything close to what I have had for so long. I am more than pleased with it and do highly recommend it to anyone who has hurt their back OR anyone who wants to avoid hurting it. Really great product for a discount or list price for that matter. Thanks Body Glove!
