Back Brace Belt
A Lower Back Pain Solution
So what's new with a back support belt?
They have been around for years.
The Back-A-Line Lower Back Brace Belt will not only reduce back pain but may
also improve your posture. Its patented firm, curved lumbar pad, has been
proven, in a peer-reviewed study, to improve posture. You can read the details
on this study about our back brace
here. It does this at a sub-conscious level, which is the only way to
reduce lower back pain or prevent future injury. Its non-stretch design
eliminates the risk of muscle weakening, a fear with other back belts.
Back-A-Line is designed to combat the actual cause of back injury, poor posture,
rather than addressing only the symptom by masking back pain.
Back A Line Belts
- Maintaining good posture ALL THE TIME,
whether lifting or not, overcomes the cause of back pain. But how can you
do that?
- The Back-A-Line belt incorporates a curved, firm lumbar pad to which
the spine will naturally conform. More importantly, several studies have
shown that the pressure of such a firm curved surface against the muscles
reduces back pain.

sports physicians, and other health professionals. Read what they have to
say about the design of the
Back-A-Line family of belts.
Testimonials for Back-A-Line
Sports Medicine-In
receiving the Seal of Acceptance (their only endorsement ever granted),
Back-A-Line was reviewed by several noted physicians. Some of their
comments:
"The rigid, firm lumbar support is ideal.. I like a non-stretch belt with a
lumbar curve added."
"The belt promotes good postural alignment, creating balanced muscle
activity for proper muscle function."
Ergonomic- The Industrial
Hygiene Association's Ergonomist of the year-1994, a consistent critic of
industrial back belts, writes:
"Your concept of a stiffer form-fitted back belt is appealing, and is much
more consistent with my own thinking than many of the soft pliable belts."
Chiropractic- International
lecturer, Inventor of the "Back Companion" and other health related
products, Dr. Guy Doran writes:
"The stiff, rounded quality of your lumbar pad maintains the proper lordotic
alignment to protect the lower spine. Promoting good posture alone should be
a major contributor to back pain reduction, but the pressure of your pad
against the back muscles seems to provide a further alleviating effect.
AOASM-In a later endorsement, the academy addressed the most controversial
issue in back support, muscle atrophy (weakening of the muscles from
disuse).
"We particularly like Back-A-Line's design when compared with the common
elastic belts.The risk of muscle atrophy is caused by elastic belts doing
the work that the muscles would normally be recruited to do.In contrast,
Back-A-Line, with its non-stretch belt, will stimulate the abdominal muscles
by providing resistance for them. Similarly, with its lumbar pad to promote
lordosis, the belt should stimulate the erector muscles as well."
The Industrial Athlete
- A national network of physicians advising corporations to adopt sports
medicine principles for industrial employees, providing them with
conditioning, personal protective equipment and effective rehabilitation. To
that end, they write:
"The Back-A-Line belt helps accomplish these three functions". As the
#1 category of industrial injury costs, the low back should be given a high
priority. Back-A-Line, along with an effective exercise program, helps to
significantly reduce that risk."
Patents
The Back-A-Link belt is so unique that its
design is patented! U.S. PATENTS #5,429,587 and #5,651,763.
