Subject to constant physical stresses, our backs have to work 1,500 times per day on average during our various movements. 

This complex joint system consists of a set of very different anatomical structures, including vertebrae, discs, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves and damage to one or more of these components can cause low back pain. 

ACTION PRINCIPLE: 

Lumbar support belts provide relative rest for the lumbar spine. Their technical characteristics determine the degree of immobilisation. 

The action principle of lumbar belts is based on 3 key mechanisms: 

1. An Increase in Intra Abdominal Pressure: By rebalancing the loads on the intervertebral discs, they provide immediate relief for the lumbar zone. 
   
2. Posture Correction: By limiting the range of motion, a belt encourages patients to avoid extreme movements that may be harmful to their backs. 
   
3. Proprioceptive Stimulation: By improving patients’ awareness of the position of their lumbar spine and pelvis, the belt promotes the adoption of analgesic postures and a sensation of vertebral stability.
