i have a lot of lower back pain and i find just using a regular pants belt tightened up a notch helps support my back, i can definitely feel the difference.
I don't have very little back pain, but I have chronic pain. It's neuropathic shooting pains in my arms and legs. I've recently found a back brace helps me with driving as the constant focus along with long periods of sitting can place a huge strain on my body.
You two inspire me to go back to school sometimes. Also appreciate that I don’t have to go through all the trouble to go the doctor to learn to heal from y’all. Thank you 🙏🏾 for what you do.

I tell people my back pain is related to sitting all of the time and they don't understand what I'm saying so thank you For reinforcing that. People's entire concept of back pain is lifting and that's false
My back pain comes from my temporary job at work which requires me to be on my feet for many hours on my shift. I just purchased a back brace and it was instant relief. On my days off my back pain fades away over the two days and returns when I got back to work. I will be so glad when I go back to my regular job in 2 1/2 months.
I sit for 6 and sometimes 12 hours shifts on a motorcycle and that makes my back hurt, exercising my lower back helps a lot but I still considered buying the back braces for those long days at work where it's detrimental for me to keep my job.
I have job where I'm standing literally 11 hrs. Not moving around a whole lot either. I've gained weight in the last eight months and I've noticed a lot of lower back pain. I'm hoping getting a brace will instantly help me like it did you. What's the name of the back brace you bought?
The only thing that has helped my back pain is a back brace. I’ll be damned if this guy tells me not to. Most people complain about their back and use marijuana (which is fine) but Popping pills and relying on substances to take the pain away is far worse
That last one where people lift things wrong with a loose strap that tightens to remind them seems like an excellent idea. Great video as I've contemplated whether those pull-your-shoulders-back strap things are worth wearing while at my desk job.
I have several back issues, and sitting for any length of time is painful. I try not to sit too long, but in planes or cars, where I don't have much of a choice, I started using a brace like the first one Brad is wearing and it allows me to go much longer without pain.
I came here to ask exactly that. I have a bulging disc and right now I can not sit down for too long. I have a trip in a few weeks and will be taking a plane and lots of buses that will require me to be sitting down for 2-3 hours. Do you recommend getting a brace? I'm seeing my orthopaedic doctor tomorrow and I'll ask her about that. I guess a brace is better than carrying a pillow around.
I'm trying to keep a more active lifestyle to keep my weight down but I have a herniated disc in my L4/L5. I ride my bike a lot but sometimes I do get spurts of pain if I don't keep my core locked. Is it okay for me to use a back brace just during that period of time? It really helps when I'm sitting at my computer desk to keep me from rolling my back forward.
I have the same. I was using a brace for awhile years back, but stopped. Felt like lack of blood flow. Have a good diet, keep away from cigs and alcohol, no heavy lifting, water therapy(swimmin pool), yoga. I made a rail that measures up to my lumbar and I usually stretch backwards on it. Also electric therapy works well to relieve muscle strains/tension. But yea for me the brace is limited to what youre doing, others might work 24/7. Wish you well.
You two are solving all my problems and I've only been watching for a month. This is brilliant. I have a back brace I never wear but I've been thinking of doing so again as I'm trying to become more active. I have degenerative disk disease L5 to S1. I have been doing brisk walking 20 minutes a day and my lower back has started to hurt. Will a brace help or is something else going on?
Try swimming, and stretching and religiously go for a walk every day. Push yourself hard so you are improving the time it takes to do a set course. Also take note of your breathing as you are trying to increase speed. As time goes by, you will increase in speed and your cardiovascular fitness gets better. Keep a daily log of your time and weight. Then 3 weeks down the track, look over your log, and think about why you began in the first place? To help your back out right? You will then say where is the back pain? It will be gone, and you didn't even notice it leaving you!
I don't know, I'm 35 and fit. I just started working Amazon delivery, so lifting medium to sometimes heavy boxes. I know how to deadlift and use my legs, but my back is sore after a couple of days work. Point is, I know it's not the sitting that's causing soreness. I'm gonna try the brace. I also realize I might just have to condition my body to the type of work I'm doing, which is different than resistance training.
As a condition of employment we were made to wear the cinch type brace. I had worked in Nursing Homes for over 15 years with not one incident of back trouble. After being forced to wear the brace at a new facility, my back lost most of the strength I had. Have had back trouble ever since.
I have a back brace due to arthritis in the lower back and weart a back brace with a metal bar in it. I wear it in the day time . My spinal doctor recommended this
I work in a factory lifting, twisting etc. for 10-12 hours a day. If I didnt wear a back brace I would NEVER be able to do this job for as long as I have to at work. Only at work do I wear it and not at any other time. Any comments from you guys would be highly appreciated.
Can you guys do a video on Brad's workout? I - and I'm sure lots of other people - would like to know what kind of a workout is ok for someone with Spondylolysis or Soindylolisthesis. Many of us think we can't do anything more than cycling/swimming/walking and it's very restrictive! I can feel myself getting flabby!
Thanks for sharing such a great video with us and for your wonderful comments👍 VTAPE newly designed a lumbar decompression belt, welcome to my homepage to learn about it. You'll learn how it can help relieve back pain and help with all back problems.
I have sacrilization and use one. I have had back pain for years that went away after a day or two until last time. I missed multiple weeks of work and my doctor sent me for an X-ray.
Have you guys done an episode on pushing a stroller or wheelchair? I push 8 wheelchairs around every day at school. I have sore wrists, and back if I do something wrong. I'd love to know how to push these properly. Because I have all different height chairs, varied weights, from a 20kg person to an 80kg person. I'd love to know how to best push without hurting myself please.
Yo... I fuckin love these guys! I checked out their vids about a year ago when I was trying to figure out practices to help my increadably life altering back pain, but I haven't seen em in a hot minute.. They have perfect chemistry w/ eachother and personalities that are unique and freakin MADE for TV!
I just slipped my s1 and l5 disc and I'll be back to work in 9 days in total I will have had 12-13 days to recover. Would a good back brace be smart for my first month back ? I'm a pool service tech 5 days a week I take care of about 100 pool. The stuff I'm worried about is loading my truck in the morning with cases of my chemicals which usually are 4 gallons per case along with other chemicals that range between 10-30 pounds, then I also have to bend over at every pool to test the chemicals, and then I have to use a net to clean the pool. With those activities and the injury I have will it be a smart decision to wear a brace for a few weeks ?
Would you recommend this for cashiers? I’m 6’1 and I strained my lower back muscle from leaning over the register and having terrible posture when sitting at the computer for college.
It's been a year. You may never get an answer 😑 I developed all kinds of issues cashiering. All are from contorting in repeatitive positions hundreds upon hundreds of times a day. The worst is how some stores hang their bags low or off centre. One cannot process efficiency unless they are under 5'3ish.
@@TheTuffOnes that’s okay 😂 I now work as a receptionist with an extra tall desk and chair that I DONT have to lean over. I worked at Dollar Tree to the registers were crazy short.
I really think that people can wear this for the short-term for normal day-to-day, but long-term ppl should make their core strong and get a GREAT chair.
I wish they would have gone into back strain a little bit more. Wouldn't it help a back strain by keeping your back immobile while you're doing different tasks and prevent it from getting aggravated and promote healing?
How about wearing a back brace (like the one with suspenders) when working at a desks. I find that when I’m at my desk doing work/ at my laptop I find myself starting to hunch over, I try to sit straight but sometimes forget when I’m really getting into my work. Would wearing one in short bursts be better?

Bob and Brad are physical therapists known for their online presence. They discuss the topic of wearing back braces for back pain. They provide five rules to follow when considering the use of a back brace. Back braces are not necessary for everyday muscle strain. They advise against using back braces preventatively. Back braces should only be used for specific stressful tasks. Long-term use of back braces should be avoided, and individuals should aim to wean off them. Back braces may be helpful for certain conditions such as spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, or compression fractures. They demonstrate different types of back braces and explain their features. Bob and Brad inject humor and engage in banter throughout the video.
I'm confused .. you said not to use it as a preventative tool but then you went on to say it's good to use to do yard work and such. Wouldn't that be preventative? And, if it makes sense for a weight lifter to use it .. why isn't it good for ...generally lifting things? Like, particularly if you aren't very strong in the first place and lifting stuff would be a lot for you? I am going to be doing PSW work. So, lifting and guiding a person with cerebral palsy. Does'nt it make sense to wear one in that case? ...Any input from anyone would be helpful. Thanks :)
At work i move heavy tires. I’m in pain for days at periods of times. I’m looking for what belt would be good for me. Would a thick leather lifting belt be a good choice?
would love a video about supporting back when you go to your kid's sport events where you are either having sit in bleachers or portable chairs for 3-6 hours at a time. (i.e., what are the best portable chairs to buy or best portable bleacher supports to buy). Thanks.
Recently had a hip replaced. Used a walker for a bit. Not sure if that caused my posture issues, but I find myself bending forward at the waist.(not the usual slouching rounded shoulder posture problem). Trying to figure out how to correct this. Would a back brace help to remind me to stand straighter? What exercises would help so I stop this leaning forward while walking thing?!
I've been specialising in fixing back pain for over 30 years and I disagree guys. The typical muscle strain comes on towards the end of a day because the already tight muscles become fatigued through less than good circulation and putting a brace on as the pain starts to come on, is a very good way to not make the tightness/ fatigue worse. It's a case of listening to your body and when it says the muscles are starting to fail the back brace is a great help when you have to keep going. As far as using a brace to help with support during heavy load periods (preventative) that's also a great idea as an already tight back is weaker, so the extra support helps ensure the problem doesn't make your back worse. Again it's about protecting an already existing tightness when you have to do a heavy job the support is great. I agree though that the brace should also be used short term during difficult times and ultimately you are better to fix the cause of the poor circulation/ tightness which is usually a problem with the way your spine and pelvis is carrying the load of your body and gravity i.e. your posture is wrong due to muscle imbalances.
If I understand you correctly, it’s okay to use a posture correcting brace if you have an ailment such as transverse myelitis, which is what I have, is that right?
I have a bulging disc. Should I use a brace when I'm forced to sit down for long periods of time. I'll be traveling by plane / bus and the trips are 2-3 hours
I have a mild degenerative disk disease thoracic spine , some curvature of the thoracic spine convex toward the right .

I live with constant back pain, sciatica, and my hips are lopsided. My work requires heavy lifting. I’ve been thinking of wearing one of these. Any thoughts?
I do landscape work. My back feels it a lot. I’m getting a brace. He said don’t use it for a preventative purpose, but then says he’ll use it when gardening? If you feel it would help you, it probably will.
The 2 muscles, one behind each love handle flare up and burn when I'm trying to pack, while I'm washing dishes, etc. It's quite painful! As soon as I stand up or sit up straight everything is OK. I'm guessing I might need something like the first back brace shown in this video when I'm doing those tasks, but only then. Btw, I'm 76 and not terribly active in that my condition prevents a lot of activity. Your thoughts?
32 years old and alot of lower back pain, can't get the VA to diagnose me with anything, I can't do anything longer then 15 minutes 20 minutes before my back is killing me. Your saying to not use a back brace, then what can I do?

I'm in early pregnancy and I get S5 L1 pain. I think it's related to hormonal changes causing looser joints. Is a back brace the answer? Last pregnancy it got severe and caused some degenerative changes.
Bob and brad please respond so I don’t have medical ins and I work as a dental hygienist I’m basically sitting and slouching all day . I try to stop myself but after doing it for so long it’s hard to break myself . I was thinking of getting a back brace that goes up my spine and wraps around to to my stomach . I read it distributes the pressure from your spine to the abdomen area. I really appreciate your videos I have other issues too and you guys help me a lot considering I have to turn to the Internet for medical advice. Thank you in advance
Pet unia if you wear a brace, you will be more likely to injure yourself more seriously. If you have disc related pain, lie on your tummy and place the ice in the inflamed area. Most people prefer to be on their stomachs.

I'm wondering if a brace can help with lower back pain while I'm laying tile
I'm 20 and I experienced Lower Back pain when I was 13 y/o. I don't know how I did get back pain.
Recently had a hip replaced. Used a walker for a bit. Not sure if that caused my posture issues, but I find myself bending forward at the waist.(not the usual slouching rounded shoulder posture problem). Trying to figure out how to correct this. Would a back brace help to remind me to stand straighter? What exercises would help so I stop this leaning forward while walking thing?!
If I am a piano mover should I use a back brace?

Love these guys!!
I work a moving job. Should I be wearing it at work?
I was hoping you would include posture correcting brace for prolonged sitting.
Just slightly arch your back, sit up straight, have legs out at 90°. Relax shoulders.
I've been specialising in fixing back pain for over 30 years and I disagree guys. The typical muscle strain comes on towards the end of a day because the already tight muscles become fatigued through less than good circulation and putting a brace on as the pain starts to come on, is a very good way to not make the tightness/ fatigue worse. It's a case of listening to your body and when it says the muscles are starting to fail the back brace is a great help when you have to keep going. As far as using a brace to help with support during heavy load periods (preventative) that's also a great idea as an already tight back is weaker, so the extra support helps ensure the problem doesn't make your back worse. Again it's about protecting an already existing tightness when you have to do a heavy job the support is great. I agree though that the brace should also be used short term during difficult times and ultimately you are better to fix the cause of the poor circulation/ tightness which is usually a problem with the way your spine and pelvis is carrying the load of your body and gravity i.e. your posture is wrong due to muscle imbalances.
I used these as a preventive measure 8 hours a day for a week and now I have lower back pain.
What model back brace is the first one with Velcro pull string?
If I understand you correctly, it’s okay to use a posture correcting brace if you have an ailment such as transverse myelitis, which is what I have, is that right?

Which one of the back brace should I wear for everyday back problem.
I live with constant back pain, sciatica, and my hips are lopsided. My work requires heavy lifting. I’ve been thinking of wearing one of these. Any thoughts?
I do landscape work. My back feels it a lot. I’m getting a brace. He said don’t use it for a preventative purpose, but then says he’ll use it when gardening? If you feel it would help you, it probably will.
The 2 muscles, one behind each love handle flare up and burn when I'm trying to pack, while I'm washing dishes, etc. It's quite painful! As soon as I stand up or sit up straight everything is OK. I'm guessing I might need something like the first back brace shown in this video when I'm doing those tasks, but only then. Btw, I'm 76 and not terribly active in that my condition prevents a lot of activity. Your thoughts?

Could I wear a back brace

So what about if someone is working in construction. Is it not a good idea to wear a back brace?
I'm in early pregnancy and I get S5 L1 pain. I think it's related to hormonal changes causing looser joints. Is a back brace the answer? Last pregnancy it got severe and caused some degenerative changes.
My brace (aspen) actually hurts. I feel like it’s extra weight on my back. My chiropractor recommended it to me, but it hurts.
Bob and brad please respond so I don’t have medical ins and I work as a dental hygienist I’m basically sitting and slouching all day . I try to stop myself but after doing it for so long it’s hard to break myself . I was thinking of getting a back brace that goes up my spine and wraps around to to my stomach . I read it distributes the pressure from your spine to the abdomen area.
I really appreciate your videos I have other issues too and you guys help me a lot considering I have to turn to the Internet for medical advice. Thank you in advance
I'm watching this as I lay on ice. I have a love hate thing with the back brace so this will be interesting to watch
Pet unia if you wear a brace, you will be more likely to injure yourself more seriously.
If you have disc related pain, lie on your tummy and place the ice in the inflamed area. Most people prefer to be on their stomachs.
I have three fractures in my back. my back brace is very big and bulky and it is very uncomfortable, should I wear it all the time?
