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 had pillows behind the pillow chair and that worked very well. Not sure how it would be without some type of back support. I hope this helps.

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!

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.

Behind. It s the straps that need to be in a supportive position. Locking the heal with the outside strap is the most important for me. Preventing ankle deflection with this support takes away my pain.. The inside strap 'hugs' the arch but I don't wrap very tight- only snug.

I actually gifted these so I am unable to measure. The narrow portion goes along the back to support your backs arch. My parents are thrilled with these in a '11 Subaru

Linda, Personally I find this chair extremely comfortable because of the way my lower back is supported. I would recommend it.

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.

When I sit in the chair, I feel it supporting my lower back. The back curves in to give support, but there isn't anything extra there. [special pillow or pump] It would depend on how much lumbar support you need. It works well for me.

Any seating choice with a firm back and bottom works fine. I like to use it at work under my desk, and I sit in a normal computer chair.

I have severe pronation and fallen arches. So I need a strong arch support as well. These are the only ones that work anywhere close to a custom orthotic. They will not last as long as a custom but they will do the trick for a year or two.

I do not wear arch supports. But i do not think these will go over them. In some of my shoes where this insole doesn't work I use the pedag gel metatarsal pads. They may work for you as they can sit under the arch support. They are one size only and not such a good fit in very slim shoes, but you can trim them back a bit. It is really a bit of trial and error if you need another type of support as well. There are other insoles on the market which have both arch and metatarsal suppots but they are not as thin as pedag ones.

Hello, I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet. Nicole

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. :)

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.

Sorry Jeff, in the end I've got rid off chair. I did not like back support. I thought I would enjoy rocking motion more but after 1-2 days using it the novelty wears off.

I am having similar problems but I find mine sags to much. I bought it for my back, also.
