FuturoComfort Stabilizing Back Support, S/M

Great for back pain and providing support to the lower back.

I had hurt my back. Took meds to eventually relieve the pain and "feel" back to normal. I ordered this for support to get back into the gym routine. Works well. It's not too thick, meaning you can wrap it under your shirt and it's not too noticeable. I usually wear a tank top so I wrap this around the tank top. If you just wrap it around your back you will get sweat on it. I also wore it when going out after my back pull which helped me while being seated at times like for being out for dinner. I'm 5'6, about 145 pounds just to help those out there for sizing purposes. I ordered the S/M.

I've had the older model of this belt for many years and Velcro just stopped holding so I bought the same size as my old belt and it's not the same. On the old model - the whole belt stretches, not just the side pulls, on this one, the belt itself does not stretch, only the side pulls so the fit is a little snug.It still provides great back support and strain relief, just make sure you get the right size to fit you.

I used this stabilizing back support during the days when I hurt my lower back. It provided instant relief from discomfort when I stood and walked.

I have several of these. I need them when my back starts getting cranky. They help a lot! My one concern is that the velcro can scratch your skin if you don't get the front lined up exactly. I put a soft towel under the edges to help. Perhaps the Velcro could be designed so it doesn't have to meet the edge of the front tab?

I misplaced my futuro back brace and thought i had the s/m as it's rated to like 39" or something. My waist is 30 but this thing feels maybe too perfect for me. Like if it was bigger i wouldn't like this fit. But it's typical in that you pull the center and velcro the main belt together around your belly. Then there are two smaller stretch belts on each side and pull them till they are comfortably tight and they're velcro as well so you just pull and stick. Pretty easy. The flat edge of the belt is the lower side and the higher part is the upper part of the belt. The one thing i liked my futuro was (older one and color white) that it seemed to be more soft and pliable, so i could fit it under more clothes easier. This one (gray color) feels a little more plasticky feeling and a little harder, but overall seems to work about the same. So back to what sets this one apart is they have 2 bars that press both sides of your spine and that seems to give it just enough pressure to let off some pressure on the back and i feel some relief immediately. I think i have some sort of compression disorder. But anyways, i'd order the one size up so next time i'd get the med/large one, just felt a little more comfortable.

This product arrived very quickly and I find it helps my back. I used it everyday to keep my back well supported and it works for me. This bling about buying another for back up.

This is the best back brace. The only problem is the don't sell a large size, only small to medium.
