Serola Pregnancy Support Belt – Adjustable Maternity Belt for Back and Pelvic Pain Relief – Comfortable Bump Band for Pregnancy and Postpartum – Medium Size (86–102 cm)

Following an injury to my right hip nearly two years ago, my left hip became incredibly painful as, try as I might not to overload the uninjured side, it’s inevitable. My pelvis keeps tilting due to posture adjustment and stresses the sacroiliac joint causing an immense amount of pain. I wasn’t even able to sleep properly. After repeated visits to the osteopath and a large amount of money spent, I found these. This belt supports my pelvis and enables me to sit, walk, stand and most importantly for my mental health, continue with my physio and some of my fitness regime. On a bad day, I even wear it to sleep. It’s easy to fit and there are innumerable Youtube videos if you’re having trouble. I don’t always have it at the same tension, sometimes I need more support than others. I did consider the cheaper options available but decided in the bigger scheme of things, my health was worth the extra cost and went for the product that is recommended by professionals. I now have two of these so I always have a clean one. I’ve had these three months now and these things have made life tolerable whilst I wait for treatment on the other hip. The Velcro is incredibly strong and is still showing no signs of wear and tear. When washing, I have the belt loosely done up so all the Velcro is connected, put it in a washing bag so it doesn’t come into contact with anything else and wash without fabric softener. This is easy for me as I never wash any of my gym clothing with fabric softener as I find that fabric softener seems to hold the sweat smell in. All in all, I highly recommend these. If you are in pain, it's worth every penny.

Every one has an SI joint and lots of things can aggravate it. Being pregnant is one of the major causes and so its marketed towards pregnant women but men can also get SI problems from a wide range of things. My symptom's are a muscular ache across the width of my lower back that burns more and more as I walk or lift things. After about 10 minutes of work I had to stop and rest my back. If that sounds familiar then do some research on the SI joint and see if you may have the same problem. The belt stabilises and supports the back muscles and so the effect is instant. It does not take all the pain away but it means I can work pretty much normally again so its worth its weight in gold. Better than pain killers. The belt is well made and I have worn it for a month now and it looks like it will last. If worn properly it is hardly noticeable except for its beneficial effect. You can wear it all day and as it goes under your clothes, no one will know. It goes a bit lower then the normal trouser belt level. It does have some thick edges on the Velcro but if you line it up properly they wont touch you as they should be in the middle of the belt. Line them up badly and they will dig in so don't just slap the belt on, put in on properly. Look up SI joint problems as it has some different symptoms that I don't get. If you think you have the problem then this is a very good belt to help you carry on with work.

Delivered quickly, in perfect condition, in compact pack. Complected with clear instruction of use. Using is easy. As instruction said, use back mounts to adjust belt for comfort. I discovered that you should use those back mounts to achieve more stable and lasting belt stick. Sometimes belt slips upwards, when you are bending a lot, bet it stays in place when running and walking. I use belt everytime when running, feeling more stable. I think the belt helps me in rehabilitation process, I use it every time when some pain returns, or I plan to do some hardf work, it lets me feel stable. Of course you should always use your ABS at first when doing hard work, this belt only helps.

**Reviewing after 1 hour** I was struggling with SI joint pain due to pregnancy and could hardly walk due to the stabbing feeling with every step, stairs were basically a no go. This belt gave immediate relief - the pain is still there in the joint but it’s not the excruciating level it was, it’s more like strong discomfort. I can walk normally, picking up my feet instead shuffling around, and have been able to get up and downstairs with no help. I’ve also been able to get through some of the strengthening exercises recommended to actually start healing. The material is good quality and stiff enough to actually give support unlike the fully elastic ‘pregnancy support belts’ I’ve looked at. The velcro is the good quality stuff and keeps a strong hold. The instructions are really clear too, it’s easy to put on and feel confident you’ve got the positioning and tension right. Obviously I can’t speak to long term use yet but the relief and freedom it’s given me after weeks of debilitating pain is overwhelming. I’m currently 21 weeks and the belt is comfortable enough to wear in the recommended position, however I do feel like it will be less comfortable with a bigger bump (or a full bladder) and will need to be worn lower, so support may be affected then.

This Serola Belt? Straight-up magic. I strapped it on, and it was like my spine sent me a thank-you note. The instant relief was so good, I half expected confetti to fall from the ceiling. Whether you're lifting heavy at the gym or working a physical job that turns your lower back into a permanent complaint department, this belt has your back—literally. It’s perfect for keeping things in place when you're putting serious strain on your joints, like a supportive hug that says, "I've got you." But before you start wearing it like a fashion accessory, word to the wise: don’t go using it 24/7 without checking in with your doctor. It’s a great tool, but your body might start relying on it like a crutch, and next thing you know, you’ll need it to grab a cereal box off the top shelf. In short, this belt is an amazing invention—just use it wisely, or you'll end up with a belt addiction.

É la seconda che compro perchè l’altra l’ho acquistata sette anni fa e ormai ha ceduto un po’. Va benissimo per la mia artrosi alle sacroiliache, altrimenti non potrei camminare. Ho letto che alcuni si lamentano che scivoli, ma va indossata assolutamente sopra qualcosa di cotone, dove fa presa, maglietta o jeans. Così non si muove. Non posso più farne senza. Meglio questa morbida di quelle rigide che segnano.

Love it! Works perfectly, comfortable, hides under my clothing, was worried about it slipping but as long as you wear it correctly it stays without sliding around. with this belt and my stretching plan I can happily walk the dog for an hour without pain!

Habe den Gürtel auf Empfehlung meines Chiropraktikers bestellt. Hatte / habe in meiner Schwangerschaft vermehrt mit Rücken- und Symphyseschmerzen zu kämpfen - der Gürtel ist eine super Unterstützung um den Alltag weiterhin gut zu bewältigen und gibt mir den fehlenden Halt. Man kann ihn durch Klettverschlüsse schön fest fixieren. Werde ich sicherlich auch nach der Schwangerschaft noch gebrauchen können, da ich auch Probleme mit meinen Bandscheiben habe und mir gut vorstellen kann, das er auch dort sehr Unterstützend sein wird.

Es de buena calidad y si me sirvió para mi dolor de lumbares

Comparado con otras copias baratas chinas que hay por ahí no tiene nada que ver. Los materiales son de gran calidad, elasticidad justa, sin olores raros. Se nota que es el original. El uso es sencillo y a mí me sirvió para aliviar la articulación sacroiliaca mientras me recuperaba de una dolencia en la cadera que me desestabilizaba toda la zona.
