PlayActive Sacroiliac SI Joint Hip Belt - Lower Back Support Brace for Men and Women Braces Pain Pelvic Trochanter Sciatica Pelvis Lumbar Relief (XL-XXL)

Exactly what I needed to help stabilize my SI joint. My joint keeps on locking on the right side after having to limp for 5 months following a knee injury and surgery. My doctor recommended this as I continue to work on stability. It really helps! I got the L/XL, but it seems a little too big. That’s okay though, because it has velcro so I can adjust the fit. It’s a great addition to my fitness routine. It’s soft, supportive, and was a great value for the money.

I finally found something that helps with my lower back pain due to lower belly-hang. For me it was immediate relief! After buying and trying belts, girdles, panty/girdles, surgery belts and what have you, for the first time in years I have relief from my lower back pain. I'm amazed and so happy! As I've gotten older, (69), and due some to lack of activity after having to leave my job due to disability, I started getting some lower belly-hang that was pulling on my lower back. I have hurt for so many years that it has caused me to be even more inactive, and has sent me to doctor after doctor for some suggestions and relief. I can't believe no one suggested a medical belt or something like this. This belt, that I found while searching Amazon once again for something to try, had some good reviews for a few other people suffering from what I thought was the same as myself and I thought what the heck, I'll spend the money and at least try it. I was getting desperate for some relief and ordered it. When it came I was skeptical, but after putting it on and adjusting it a little, oh my gosh! I was able to stand up straighter....no back pain! It hits just the right spot holding up my belly, and I can't say enough about the ability to stand without pain in my back! When your back hurts, it robs you of your normal quality of life. I couldn't exercise as I wanted to try to strengthen my tummy muscles, and in fact I didn't feel like doing anything physical. I haven't even had a good night's sleep in years, so I'm eternally tired. Now that I have this support belt, I'm looking forward to taking walks to start moving around again and maybe start exercising some on some stationary bikes at my clubhouse. And(!), I look forward to cleaning my house like I used to, though I have to ease into that. I've had to hire help for that, and that gets expensive! Just the thought that I can stand longer at my kitchen sink to do dishes, or bake, do laundry, make my bed....it's the best I have felt physically and mentally in a long, long time. This will not help everyone, I understand that. But it is helping me. Immensely. You can't believe what a life changer this is going to be. Ok, now to facts of the order and product. I ordered the XL-XXL belt in black, mainly to make sure I had some "playroom" to adjust if needed. I was afraid of ordering too small and having to return it for a larger size, but this works for me. I might have gotten away with the next size smaller, but for my hips, (46"), I went for the size recommended. When I took it out of the package there is an odor, but I think it's a rubber smell. Stinky, but I think that will go away after wearing it and airing it out some. I wrapped the belt from behind to my front, made sure my belly was supported correctly, and used the main velcro to secure it. (Easy!) Then took the attached side velcro straps to tighten it a little. I'll have to find my perfect tension but I was happy right away. It fit well, and seems very well sewn together. It's not flimsy. It's sturdy. The belt also shipped pretty fast, I think I had it about 4-5 days after ordering. I know this belt will not be for everyone, but for me it is such a winner! Sorry for the long review, but for the first time in years I feel optimistic about my pain free future and dealing with and strengthening my lower back muscles. I hope if you have back pain due to lower belly problems that this helps you decide whether to try it or not. If it doesn't help you, you can always return it. I'm keeping mine!

This simple device gave me a whole lot more pain relief than I’d hoped for. Clearly, I have SI joint issues, or it wouldn’t have worked. I wear it daily, and the build quality seems good. Other reviewers have mentioned that the rubberized inner surface tears, but I doubt that’ll be the case with me—it seems quite robust. Stitching is excellent. Very easy to put on and use (just place it at the right height on your hips…you’ll need to experiment. Once I got it dialed in, wow. Pleasingly, it fits under my gym shorts and, with a T-shirt over that, it’s invisible. Velcro is strong. Shows no sign of weakening. Smaller size is perfect for my 36” hips (in fact, I’m on the small end for that size. I’m slender and pull the straps as tight as they’ll get. This size would fit someone with 38” hips easily. Considering my degree of pain, this gizmo was an incredible bargain at around 30 bucks.

Been using this for a couple of weeks now and it's great. My care team suspects I have myofascial pain syndrome in my low back and this band helps apply a controllable compression to the irritated sites. It doesn't slip or move at all, whether I'm stationary or mobile. It's quite comfortable and gives great support.

It feels good when placing it above your hips for support and relieves pressure, but it constantly rolls up and has to be readjusted and replaced. I’ve had this for less than a month and it looks super raggedy due to the constant adjustments. The Velcro is great at sticking. I’d also recommend wearing it under your clothes so you don’t have to take it off when using the bathroom. I don’t like the constant readjusting so it’s going back.

I recently bought the Sacroiliac SI Joint Hip Belt and it has made a big difference. It helps stabilize my hips evenly and significantly reduces my pain throughout the day. It’s also very comfortable to wear all day and stays in place while I go about my normal activities. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with hip or pelvic discomfort.

This worked really well, and within three days of using it, the pain I was getting from my lower back/hip area was gone. Just make sure you utilize the pain, relief and start exercising correctly to strengthen those areas.

This has helped me tremendously with my sciatic or back pain. I like the slim design so it doesn't restrict you. Although if I had to complain about it. after about a month of wearing it and bending over and such the top the velcro that goes over the bottom should probably be a little bit narrower because it starts to roll on the outside edges, then it doesn't hide under your clothes anymore other than that.I do like it. I don't think it's going to last very long because of that rolling. And the constant Taking it off, just to use the restroom. The valcrow is going to wear out pretty quickly. But overall, this is a quick fix. Fairly inexpensive, and it seems to be helping.

I have encountered my worse SI Joint inflammation yet leading to sciatica which prompted me to finally purchase one of these lower back/tailbone belt. I also did a test by purchasing this product and another one that had looked similar and way more cheaper. The cheapest version arrived earlier and I wrapped this around for 10 minutes standing, but the belt did not help my sciatica - numbed thighs, I felt discomfort and more numbed, I didn’t think it was the product itself, I just thought that these belt are another one of those gimmicky buys and took the belt off. This ActivePlay version arrived the next day but due to the experience of trying the cheaper version the night before, I assumed this would be the same experience; numbing, tight and discomfiting - not my preference. I put this PlayActive one for what I thought would have been only 10 minutes and held no expectations… I wore this belt and (with slow steadiness) was able to do some light task for a further 30 minutes. The next morning, to double check the test for both belts, I wore the cheaper version again and feel unsteady trying to stand up right to brush my teeth (I give up and sit on the side of my bath for support) and then swap for the PlayActive version and my lower back feels secure. Comparison: The appearance of both do look the same except for PlayActive’s belt inner grips are slightly thicker, meaning more gripping, more resistant so, more secure. Which is why my lower back seems more secure. I was keen to return this product and was hoping the cheaper version could work but I took the sensible option: the comfort, less pain, slightly more mobile and at ease, this one is a winner.

Auch nach mehrmonatiger Benutzung eine klare Empfehlung durch die beschenkte Person. Aber wichtiger Hinweis: Die ggf. tägliche Tragedauer auf ca. 2 h beschränken. Denn Rückenschmerzen sind häufig ein Ergebnis zu schwacher Rumpfmuskulatur-Bereiche. Durch Schienung von außen wird die entsprechende Muskelaktivität verringert und die betroffene Muskulatur bildet sich bei Dauer-Schonung zurück. Je länger man von außen unterstützt, desto schwächer und empfindlicher wird auf lange Sicht der Rückenbereich. Gezielte Kräftigung von Bauch- und Rückenmuskulatur ist wichtig.

Best discovery after internet . I lost all hope with my lower back but this belt brought me back . Highly recommended. Stop wasting money on creams and doctors and chiropractors.

Excellent product, easy to use. Provide very good support if you know the painful area.

Excelente compra. He tenido inflamación en las 2 articulaciones sacroiliacas y esa inestabilidad me había creado dolor w incomodidad. La cinta externa permite ajustar para encontrar el lugar ideal que da estabilidad y contención sin que sea excesivo. Le dio mucho alivio a mi pelvis.
