Back problems weight belts

[scaffofsmeg]

Was working today and suddenly went to pick a tube up and my back went nothing serious but it was enough to put me out of work I've been doing some research on weight belts but wearing one can increase blood pressure because you have to have it tight so I've been looking at Luther belts for construction lifting ie Ergodyne ProFlex belts on paper they look good and more beneficial for wearing all day so on but there is no customer reviews dose any one use anything like this or something else they use for supporting there lower back which is one of the most common in jury's any info would be grate

bend at knees
get a labourer
warm up before you start work

It depends on your age I have tried big belts but couldn't get on with them harness etc but there are scaffolders who I know who wear them all the time and swear by them

My back goes from time to time and i wear a neoprene support belt which really does help as it generates heat , and you can get a heat pack which fits in a pocket at the back
i got mine from Argos

I've had a bad back a few times, you do when you get over 40.you need to do back exercises when you get up in the morning and you'll be ok

can you not get them belts with magnets in now ? supposed to work. but im from jarra so dont feel pain anyhow

Been told by numerous Physio's over the years that you should not wear belts. The pain you feel is the bodies own mechanism to tell you to stop. The belt will allow you to carry/pick up more than you should!!
