 Two Thumbs Up May 22, 2010
By Bob the Mechanic
I've tried on a few back braces in my day, but this one I really like. Without giving you a dissertion, here are what I consider to be its best features:
1) easy to use- just wrap it around and velcro together the big elastic band. Then take the outer elastic band and velcro it- that's it. Tighten it up as little or as much as you like.
2) it has a tapered cut in front- much easier on the ab area than most braces that aren't tapered down
3) it has eight steel springs in the low back part in back to support your spine. If this sounds uncomfortable, don't worry- the suckers are FLEXIBLE and quite comfortable.
4) while very supportive and firm, I can actually breathe normally in the thing
Okay, what didn't I like about it? Not much. The only negatives I see is that it might not fit huge people. I have a 32 inch waist and its quite fine for me, but if you were really big, I don't know. You can return the product though. The other thing was, you have to hand wash it- which may be a bigger deal to some people more than others.
Altogether this is a great brace and I'd buy another one if I needed too. A little extra support for your back when doing a lot of chores is always a good thing. For those with back pain and are looking for a few quick and effective back exercises, I liked Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis.

Back Attack Cure Sep 29, 2009
By Barbara B. Finley

When your lower back hurts and you need relief use this belt! I am a very generous sized woman and this belt actually fits! My back pain was so severe when the mailman delivered this product. I tore it open, read the instructions, did I mention I am a woman?; I put it on and about ten minutes my back was happy again. Thank you Dr. Mueller for inventing a belt that does not roll up on my rolls. Thank Amazon for having this brace!

very good Dec 02, 2007
By R. Kamenova
I bought the brace for my husband.He had one before and he was satisfied of it,he tried a few different brands that stand for back support,but this belt is the real deal,he said .It really does what it's made for and it's the same price.The other brands did nothing,but create more trouble than help.It was money well spent and if there is anybody who has lower back problems,I'll say:"Get one!"

It Helped Me! May 23, 2010
By Marianne
I am a 150lb woman who had serious sciatic nerve pain that ran down my left leg for over a year. After PT, shots in my back, and pain pills that I don't want to take (they messed up my stomach), I decided to treat myself. I do yoga stretches for back pain (from u-tube), the Back-2-Life machine, take Nopalea from Tri-Vita, and wear this brace every day under my clothes. It has improved my posture and has helped relieve a lot of the pressure on my herniated discs. I also joined a gym. I exercise on the bike and work on the machines to strengthen muscles in my back and abdomen. I have been doing this for 5 weeks now and have seen a great improvement. It is great to finally have pain-free time in my day without pills and I am definitely moving in the right direction. The brace has been crucial in keeping me aware of my posture which I know tremendously affects my back. It is strong and sturdy and supports me very well. It is most comfortable when I wear a tank shirt between my body and the brace and then put a shirt over.

This back brace works great for me Feb 28, 2008
By Gary V.
I wasn't sure if it would help but I put this on when my back is bugging me and it feels better right away. It's a quality product. It's identical to the one Verizon issues to their field employees--a buddy of mine works for Verizon. I bought this because the picture of it looked the same as his. It is. I use it mainly for skiing and snowboarding. Guess I'm getting old.
