Mueller4581 Back Brace

Very firm and durable !

IT'S HEAVEN. I HAVE A COLLAPSING SPINE, AND RHEUMATISM, I HAVE TRIED MANY OF THESE BELT'S, THAT WERE HEAVY, OR SHIFTED WHEN WORN. THIS DOESN'T!!!

This dual belt is brilliant if your backs done ij like mine. I've had a bad back for years and this little thing helps with that pain. I can stand up for as long as I like with little to no pain.

Not a cure but a huge relief. Wish I discovered it a few years ago. Thanks Mueller and Amazon making it available at such reasonable prices.

I suffer cronic lower back pain. It irritates rather than disables normally but every now and again it becomes debilitating. This back brace is excellent when the pain becomes intense. Further, when doing tasks which can irritate my back, like driving, I put it on and it stops the pain getting worse.I can become uncomfortable and I've noticed that if I wear it for any length of time I have to be extra careful when lifting anything for some time after.I am pleased with my purchase but would have liked something a bit more rigid. Recommended for relief of pain but it is not a cure.EDITED TO ADD:I've had the support for well over a year now and now know when to put it on and when I can leave it off. It is very effective as a preventative method of back pain control. Certainly it has lowered the frequency and degree of sever pain I suffer. I graded the support as three stars originally but now have upped it to four. Still not a cure but it can not only relieve pain but control it as well.

Having had back problems for many years always wear a brace when gardening etc. and can the get on with the job required.Recently bought a new car pavement scooter for my husband and realised the main part when broken down to go in the car boot was pretty heavy.Did not want to put on my white brace in a car park as I felt it was too much looking like underwear so started looking for a black one which looks very acceptable to see someone putting on a belt to lift the scooter.The Mueller belt is great and I now use it all the time when required,it supports my back and I can get on with life doing the jobs required. Would recommend this to anyone who requires to llift any thing heavy and may irritate a back problem.Be wise and protect your back and buy this product. I am a ladies size 16 \ 18 and it fits perfectly. I think it might be small for a larger frame but it is made to a high standard,so take advice from the company.Amazon price is best I found.

Good quality and comfortable. Recommended product

This is a very comfortable product but the level of support is medium at best. I would not recommend this for any strenuous exercise or lifting.I have tried many back support products and was searching for a heavy duty belt that allows me to, for example, play guitar, drums or be able to lift moderately (7-12 kg) heavy objects without fear. This is not the belt I was looking for and after reading many other product reviews, I have concluded that the Benri Back Pro (which I got from backsupport.co.uk) is probably the best: it may not be quite as comfortable as the Mueller Back Brace but the stay support is alot firmer and overall it gives alot more heavy duty support.I have chronic lower back pain from general disc degeneration caused by years of running and exacerbated by old age (and, evidently very pure core stability). After about 18 months of back exercising and therapy I have got a level of my life back but I still need to manage daily activities from bending to lifting and sitting on soft chairs.I find this gives a certain level of light protection and it is quite large for the light protection you get (equivalent to the Neopreene Lumbar support belt but the latter is a lot smaller and cheaper).
