How To Correctly Use Waist Protection

Oct 23, 2021

In our fitness, if we want to do weight-bearing training, it is recommended to wear sports waist protection to protect our lumbar spine and muscles. However, it should be noted that it is not necessary to use the belt at the beginning of vigorous and small weight training. Excessive dependence on the sports belt may slowly weaken the exercise adaptation and adjustment ability of the lumbar spine relative to the body.

Three months after lumbar surgery, we should strictly wear medical waist protection during underground activities according to the requirements of doctors, so as to ensure the fusion of lumbar spine at the operative level.

When using health care and medical waist protection due to acute psoas pain, be careful not to wear it continuously for more than 2 weeks, otherwise it may reduce the strength of back and abdominal muscles, cause muscle atrophy, and increase the possibility of psoas muscle injury.
