The New Serola SI Support Belt Review

The New Serola SI Support Belt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used this belt before for SI problems that put me down for about six weeks. The belt helps so much (paired with home exercise) and I ran the Napa Marathon after four weeks of being on the belt. The only problem: while the belt helps to support the SI and surrounding tendons, the IT (iliotibial band that runs down the sides of your legs) doesn't receive the support of your back because it's being cut off from the belt. After recovering from SI, I began suffering from IT in both legs which put me down another three weeks. Use the belt in moderation, focus more on home exercise and building your core - that will strengthen and support your SI without having to use the belt so much.

iNeed Lumbar Massage Cushion Review

Average Reviews:

I'm a Clinical Massage Therapist. This pillow may give a better massage than me.....just kidding. Yes, it's very effective. Having the straps to secure around the chair is good and allows for stability while using. In the lumbar region, the massage pillow works better than many massager chairs. It nestles into the natural curve of the spine better. The 20 minute session is plenty time. For some, too much can overwork the muscles and cause kickback pain later. It comes with a nice carrying case.
For other Massage Therapist, this is a good tool to have in your office. It's helpful for some clients. After general warming, this delivers a good general massage to the area. It actually works rather deep. It has one speed only. I use it on some clients prior to doing specific work in the lumbar region. This one really targets QL, the lower erectors and the superior fibers of G Max. The massage balls do clear the transverse processes, so it stays off the vertebrae. The price is great.

Lower Back Support Nada Chair Slouch Buster Review

Lower Back Support Nada Chair Slouch Buster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a simple but very effective way to save your lower back if you are having trouble with back pain. I am an artist and spend hours sitting at a drawing table and leaning forward. The NADA chair is simple to wear-just loop it from your lower back around your knees and it will keep your posture upright. It is portable and unobtrusive. I highly recommend it.

Duro-Med Contoured Back Cushion with Straps, Grey Review

Average Reviews:

This item was purchased to add back support to my mother's wheel chair. It is well made and a good value, but beware: even with the straps, it tends to slip down and out of the sling-back style wheel chair. It is now used as support in a recliner chair.

SoftForm Maternity Support Belt Review

SoftForm Maternity Support Belt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been carrying very low this pregnancy and the doctor suggested I get a support belt to help with the pelvic pain I have been experiencing.I looked online, and the reviews and price for this belt both seemed great.
I was in so much pain that when the package came I couldn't wait to get the belt on and feel a little bit of relief. I put it on and it was a JOKE! I felt like I had just strapped some sort of chineese torture band around my body. The only way I got relief from the pressure on my pelvic was if I wore it really low, but then I couldn't bend over,squat,pee or sit! So,I guess if you don't plan on taking long strides when you walk,bending over, peeing, squating or sitting-this belt is for you!..grrr I am so frustrated! Look elsewhere-this 'support' belt is completely unrealistic and uncomfortable!

Florida Orthopedics Soft Form Posture Control Brace - #16-900700 - Size Extra Large Review

Florida Orthopedics Soft Form Posture Control Brace - #16-900700 - Size Extra Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Overall product performance was ok. I mean, you will definitely be aware of yourself slouching when wearing it because the straps around the shoulder will start to cut into your underarm causing you to sit up straight to avoid the nagging pull. And I guess that's what its designed to do. However, I was looking for something that would push into my lower back and pull my shoulders back like a back brace or something. So the three stars is because I didn't choose the right product not the product itself. If your upper back is fairly straight and you don't slouch too much and are just looking for something to hold your posture because you find yourself sitting a lot, then this would be great for you.

Obus Forme Side to Side Back Support Review

Obus Forme Side to Side Back Support
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I looked a many other back support pads.
Some were too big, and others were just complicated.
The Obus Forme Side to Side is perfect.
It is very light weight and small, therefore, very portable.
I use it in the car and take it with me to the office.
The strap on the back fits well around any chair back,
although, I have found I don't need to use it because it stays put.

MABIS Sloping Coccyx Cushion Review

MABIS Sloping Coccyx Cushion
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I gave the product one-star because it was worthless for me. I have a slipped disk in my lower back. I needed a product that would provide some relief while I ate, while I used my computer, and when I drove. I also weigh 195 pounds at 6 feet tall. This product provided me no relief whatsoever. Although it had the traditional wedge shape and an adequate cover, the foam inside the cover was like sponge cake. It immediately sank under my weight and compressed completely. At least it rebounded nicely when I stood up. This cushion might be of some comfort if the buyer was 120 pounds or less in weight, but not for guys like me. Wouldn"t it be nice if sellers were required to do tests with real people and provide compression figures at different weights?

Elasto-Gel All Purpose Therapy Wrap - Elasto Gel Review

Elasto-Gel All Purpose Therapy Wrap - Elasto Gel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If this just stayed warm longer, it would be perfect.
On the plus side: Perfect fit. The Velcro works perfectly and keeps it as tight or as loose as I want it. It has a nice heavy feel. Heavy enough to stay close to the skin for good therapy, but not too heavy to be uncomfortable. The neck is a difficult place to treat/fit. This does it very well. It's great to be free of electrical cords. I can move about freely. It fits snugly against the neck so I can wear a sweater over it without a problem. Being able to do hot and cold is a plus, although I have not used the cold yet.
The only negative is the temperature control. It takes a bit of experimenting to find the right time, since each microwave is different. Then it cools off very quickly. Even if I heat to the point where I can barely stand the heat, it is almost cold in 15 minutes. This means I need to keep running back to the microwave.
The TheraTherm shoulder pad is a better option for me. It is electric and has excellent temperature control. The cord is long enough to make it usable. I just wish its strap was as good as this one.

very disappointed in the brace. I have worn a back brace for many years and was looking for one that would help pull my shoulders up so I could work with the abdominal muscles as directed by my doctor. When you sit down the brace rides up your back and it hits your neck, very annoying.

FLA 16-900600 Posture Control Brace Back Support Beige LATEX FREE LARGE
Average Reviews:

This is a rating of the purchase experience. I did not keep the Back Brace, I returned it. I was very disappointed in the return agreement. After HPMS deducted a 20% restocking fee, and the csot of free shipping, minus my return shipping costs, I spent over $15.00 to "try" this product. I have never had such an experience with an Amazon purchase. HPMS has covered themselves by saying they state their policies, but I think it is unclear, when you are ordering. I certainly would not knowing have placed this order if I understood their return policies .

Thermophore Arthritis Pad Review

Thermophore Arthritis Pad
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is our second Thermophore 14 x 27, first one lasted about ten years or so, and we liked it enough to replace right away.
With temperatures up around 165 degrees, this will get in deep to your muscles and joints. A few rounds of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off will work wonders.
One of the best features is that this pad is weighted all over with many flat metal weights that make it conform to your body for great contact and heat transfer.
Use with caution and read the instruction manual for warnings. See the Thermophore web site for more details.
Seems a bit expensive compared to standard heating pads, but it's in a class by itself and worth the investment.
Note, Don't be confused by the "Automatic" wording, it has a hand operated normally OFF switch. The Automatic refers to the moist heat since you don't have to wet it at all.
They now make the same unit with an automatic timer shut off switch if you might like that better than the manual switch that this one has. This one you have to hold the switch down to keep it hot, that way if you doze off it shuts it off.
The other is called "Automatic" with "Automatic switch"
BTW, the shipping service by 'The Therapy Connection at HPMS, Inc' was outstanding and it arrived in just a few days time. I'm sure that can vary, but my order shipped fast!

Duro-Med Elevating Leg Rest with Blue Polyester/Cotton Cover Review

Duro-Med Elevating Leg Rest with Blue Polyester/Cotton Cover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The dimensions are 17"Lx10"Wx7"H. 17" is just enough so your legs don't fall off if you are awake, but I wish it were wider. I wanted to use it for sleeping and if you lean or roll to one side your legs will definitely come off. If you've seen the picture on the actual packaging or on another site (not the amazon picture shown here), it looks 30-40" long which is totally wrong; I'd guess it's two cushions side-by-side. The foam is pretty firm but comfortable enough. The blue fabric cover comes off which I assume is washable.

Original Cincher Back Support Black - Extra Large Review

Original Cincher Back Support Black - Extra Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love the back brace, but it is very hard to get the size you need. You need a size chart to order by. When I wear my brace, it is very tight and makes it hard to move around without rising up on me. I do like the way it makes me feel, I just cannot move around in it. Maybe longer velcro would help? I love the way it looks, and the way it holds me straight when standing. Right now, I'm trying to loose enough weight for it to fit like it should. You need larger sizes, or longer velcro to adjust to size. The firmness, material, and support are all very good. The style of the cincher is very flattering to bigger women.
