Back Supports

A back support can be very beneficial in a number of ways, although it does depend on what type of back issue you are dealing with. A back support can help with:

  1. Posture improvement - be encouraging spinal alignment;
  2. Pain relief - by providing gentle compression;
  3. Support during activity - by stabilising an area of the back, minimising risk of stress, strain and injury;
  4. Injury recovery - by reducing movement and providing compression, allowing healing;
  5. Injury prevention - if you have a history of back problems;
  6. Improved comfort during activities of daily living- for example if you sit for long periods, the correct back support can reduce pressure on the spine and reduce fatigue.

Using a back support consistently can be part of an overall strategy for managing or preventing lower back pain, which could include stretching, strengthening exercises, and proper ergonomics.
