Body Glove 90314 Open Road Back Support, Black, X-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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reminder for a torn up back, September 26, 2011

Order an XL if you think you wear a large. This brace keeps you reminded that you better keep your back from getting torn up by another heavy lift. It does provide some comfort in keeping your spinal column aligned, though certain "experts" question whether it gives you any benefit. I feel more protected when I'm outdoors doing too much bending or lifting - being a Type A personality I want to "get the job done" and usually now as a senior I end up wrecking my back. In my last "overdoing it" project I tore some muscles/ligaments/tendons that took 5 MONTHS to heal - couldn't get out of bed for a couple of weeks - lots of aggravating pain. I'm now convinced I need this brace to remind me not to pick super heavy things! We all have to learn our limitations as we age.
