Back and abdominal support belt: support belt works in several ways. It lifts the abdomen and relives pressure from the low back area providing, at the same time, compression and support to the lumbar (low back) region. This compression also creates warmth and increased blood flow to the low back, thus encouraging flexible muscles and therapeutic healing. By providing support and compression to the hips, the garment helps to stabilize the weakened hip area and reduce pain. Moreover, belt helps maintain proper posture and prevent stretch marks.
