I went to Modell's and purchased a Nike fabric belt and get the support I need. I do like the leather belts, however, comfort and support are equally important. I've noticed that men in the gym wear both. I would recommend going to a sporting store and trying both on to determine which meets your needs.

for me i that have a pinched sciatic nerve. i feel that the material belts are better suited for my type body and training.i try lifting heavy with up to 10 to 12 reps.before i stack on more weight.if you have an arch back any fabric or a not to wide leather belt would do a good job.back support is not to be under estimated if hurt it.you will regret it later in life. gl and i hope this helped answer your question

I have a compound curvature of the spine that looks like a backwards "S"in an x-ray. The lumbar support fits my lower back very well and is very comfortable.

This brace is not comfortable to sit down with, but it is the best I have found for back support while lifting and carrying heavy things.

Yes, any height will work. As along as your backing has the width the height can vary.

I have very flat feet and that was why I purchased them. You will feel the arch from this insert that you wish your foot had naturally.

Yes and there was not for me. I was okay with that because I just "Googled" it and found out it is recommended to use with a pillow to support your head. For the money I spent I am VERY satisfied with this purchase. On the occasions where my back is stiff, I can feel it "pop" as I lay to stretch it out. :)

about 2-3 inches thick, but you don't want to blow it up that big, it is supposed to give support to your low back by maintaining your natural low back arch.

I sometimes sleep on my back. The contour is slight and feels comfortable. not sure how much of a contour you want but both ways feel great to me! I have spent so much money on doctors, pillows and aids but this is the best investment I have made.

My baby is 45. I strained my fused back. This helps me maintain correct posture. Cheap control garments roll down. Spanx make me feel a downward pulling in.my back. This has vertical reinforcement. I just went back to Amazon.com to order a spare one. I am sitting down as I type this, and it is not causing me any discomfort and is not rolling. Worth every penny.

I do not find that it is supportive of my back. It does go lower than my waist line.

There are better ones that support your back better. This particular one is okay. Pay more and purchase the more suportive one. One that you can put your arms in.

Probably not your best tool - look up "pant assist". I'd also try some multifidus strengthening exercises for your back (check out the book Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis). Research is now finding that people with back pain have really weak multifidus muscles. Good luck!

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom

They would work great for fallen arches! If you were born with flat feet the arch might be too high for you.

I like it, the high back gives me better head/neck support. If you need more support, the back cushions fit nicely in it. I have a bad back so this means a lot to me.

I have the same problem and would recommend the Muco SR-4 which is a much lower profile shoulder rest. I have them both and the Muco is the one that works for me.

the cf440 is the max support you can get for feet with "no arch"---or FLATFEET--------this is what I use---------the 340 is for those not so severe
