Serola Sacroiliac Belt for SI Joint Dysfunction – (Large fits 40” to 45”) Lower Back, Pelvic & Hip Support brace for Women & Men, Non-Slip, Adjustable & Breathable Brace

This product is, indeed, accurately rated. As someone who has been suffering from an SI joint injury that I could not heal due to constant overextending of the joints, this thing finally helped me hold the joint in place with minimal muscle discomfort which allows healing to finally occur. I am immediately relieved of my loose feeling SI joint pain. It took an adjustment period to figure out where to place it, as I have a pretty severe anterior pelvic tilt. Once I figured out placement, putting it on became faster and easier. I mess around with the support level through the day, but I’m finding that I still need a firm support. Maybe eventually I’ll loosen it, but while I’m recovering the tight tension feels best. Some people in the reviews say they can wear it at night, but I’ve found that I can’t. It is too uncomfortable for me to try to sleep in, personally, so I opt to restrict my movement at night instead to prevent further exacerbation of the injury while I’m asleep. It has worked so far and every morning I wake up with a little less pain. I can see myself wanting to buy a replacement if something ever happened to this one, guaranteed. So I think that means… buy it.

I have suffered over 4 hrs with excruciating nerve pain, burning, and spasms (lower lumbar spine, just below ribs, pelvic & groin region, hips, and thighs front & back to knees) due to a kind of dysplasia with both left and right SI Joints which has largely restricted activity (bending, twisting, squatting, lounge standing & walking, sleeping--everything!) I have been through multiple regimes of drugs, injections, physical therapy, massage, heat, Theracane, TENS Unit, support pillows, adjustable mattress, compression products, etc etc. and am currently wrestling with my insurance to cover SI-Bone joint surgery. Though I was once very active, the condition kept me most of the time on my back, which affects my happiness and potentially could affect my overall health. While researching online in mid' November 2016, I found the Serola belt, which has since been a real Godsend for me (I wish it had been recommended to me earlier by my pain management specialist or physical therapist, since another physical therapist told me the belt is widely used and recommended by many). No, it does not eliminate ALL the pain, however it noticeably improves overall relief and keeps my pain to a lower level. I wear mine 24-7 and have had to train myself with it at night to life on back with pelvis straight and legs flat. The belt adds the necessary support when ordered in proper size by chart, and worn in the right place according to instructions online & in booklet found in packaging (bottom of belt should be where front Jean pockets begin). It took nearly a month to adjust to properly to wearing it (correct placement & tightness) and deriving it's benefits, partly because I did not 1st initially read all instructions enclosed in packaging, and largely due to the extreme Inflammation I had up to the purchase of the belt. Time and patience was needed to learn and to allow the inflammation to gradually go down as I faithfully kept the belt on. Since, I have been able to stand and walk for longer periods and reduce a lot of my meds. The belt is a darker color worn low, and it is comfortable, very sturdy, and has very strong velcro that will not come loose. The straps on both sides can be pulled and secured to just the right hold needed to restrict movement of the SI Joints, while not restricting me from normal overall physical movement. I have gone to pulling mine very snugly and only take it off for showering to use the bathroom. In bed, wearing the belt and using a firm half-round bolster under my knees has helped immensely. I was surprised to realize the amount of pain, discomfort and overall tension that had been accumulating as I had just normalized and coped with it--even while drastically curtailing or drastically reducing my day to day activity. The Solera belt has allows me to stand and work in kitchen longer, drive and sleep more comfortably, and walk for longer distances at the store. Because I have been able to lessen the drugs I take and sleep a little better, I feel sharper, happier, and more relaxed. The money is worth it and the belt, when introduced along with the other measures I was taking, has helped a lot. I would highly recommend it. One more note: upon visiting another physical therapist, I was met with professionals who were very familiar with the belt and have been using it for their patients for a long time. She was also happy to visually evaluate me to ensure belt placement was correct. I have told my doctor and massage therapists, as well as a few people I've met with same issues.

I have been suffering with back & hip pain for close to a year and recently finally found out why. I have a torn hip labrum & a messed up hip flexor. I have been struggling doing household tasks & struggling to make it through work because eventually I can’t bear weight on my leg to walk and bending up and down more than a time or two became actually impossible. My physical therapist recommended this one, so I decided to give it a try even though I already had 3 other types of belts. Let me tell you WOW the difference I felt at work was insane!! I was able to make it through a shift at work without help & without near as much pain. I was absolutely still hurting, but nowhere near as much as I usually do. Make sure to measure to order the correct size. It’s lightweight, very easy to adjust and the support is definitely gold star! The Velcro quality seems great, but I’ve only used it once, so I can’t really say too much on that. I will say if you are looking for a belt you should absolutely try this one it’s worth the price for sure!

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.

Very nice belt, thank you!

I was a little sceptical that this belt would work but on someone else's advice I got it. I have rheumatoid and osteo arthritis, both knees have already been replaced and will need hips done too this belt enables me to work all day with 70% less pain. It takes a bit to get it in the right spot but once you do WOW

Ceinture vraiment efficace en cas d'effort, les hanches sont maintenues, force retrouvée dans les jambes, meilleur équilibre en équitation. Indispensable!!!

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!
