If you Work with Tools
You Need the Tool Back Belt.
Anyone who has worn a workbelt on top of a
typical back support knows the discomfort and restriction that the
combination causes. With the Back-A-Line Tool Belt, you no longer need to
sacrifice good back support for the convenience of carrying your tools with
you. Now you can combine your favorite tool pouches with the safety and
protection offered by the Back-A-Line Belt!
The Back-A-Line Belt, with its patented firm, curved lumbar pad, has been
proven, in a peer-reviewed study, to improve posture, at a sub-conscious
level, which is the only way to reduce 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.
The Back-A-Line Belt is a back support belt
with a unique, patented design which reduces back pain, prevents injury, and
promotes good posture.

Back-A-Line is like no other back support on
the market! Because it is firm instead of elastic, it provides
consistent support, while typical elastic back supports give out when you
need them most!

Endorsements
Back-A-Line has been praised by chiropractors,
sports physicians, and other health professionals. Read what they have to
say about the design of the Back-A-Line family of belts.
Praise 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."
Orthopedic- A major
medical school study states, conceptually:
"A smoothly contoured, firm surface therefore appears to be a desirable
feature of an orthosis."
"It provides a proprioceptive and apparent pain blocking effect."
Patents
The Back-A-Link belt is so unique that its
design is patented! U.S. PATENTS #5,429,587 and #5,651,763.
