Back braces can assist with a range of concerns, from back pain due to exercise, pregnancy or poor posture. Right through to sufferers of lower vertebrae, Lumbar and Sacral problems, pelvic and hip instability and moderate to severe back pain. 

Back braces are best worn whenever you're putting any strain on your back, or whenever you're feeling back pain. In many cases, relief can be found from wearing the brace all day.

Back braces work by providing compression and stability to the spine and surrounding muscles. This helps to ease pressure on targeted areas, allowing for pain relief, posture correction and treatment of injuries and chronic conditions.
