design is adjustable for a snug fit and the soft neoprene covers are easily washable. The LifeBack’s ergonomic “Pressure Plate” design fits perfectly into the small of your back, soothing the sensitive lower back area and countering the slouching position that exacerbates a lower back injury. What I found especially comfortable was the front “Abdominal Plate” that supports the abdominal muscles from pulling the spine “forward.”Personally I felt the belt gave a whole new meaning to the phrase “finding your center.” I felt relaxed and balanced as a result of wearing it while working at the computer all day, which typically leaves my lower back feeling tired and sore. The side stabilizing straps allow you to comfortably tighten the opposing plates, with an immediate feeling of a correction to your posture – what I might describe as a “lifting effect” that adds to your relief. While wearing the LifeBack®
you naturally want to straighten your back, versus the typical, harmful slouching posture. Improved posture means a straight back, which in turn means a straight spine, which results in less stress and less lower back pain. The LifeBack®
construction. The sales rep setting up the displays in the grocery store is more prone to injury than the delivery person. Even more surprising is that the nurse in the hospital is more likely to strain her back lifting patients than the delivery man working with a dolly or delivering furniture all day. Women, who tend to be more flexible, have a tendency
to bend at the waist when lifting which sets them up for strain and injury, whereas men are more likely to bend at the knees – a much better approach to protect one’s lower back when lifting. Chances of any type of disk herniation are greatly diminished when wearing the LifeBack® pressure off the discs.
Lower Lumbar Support which takes Lower Lumbar Support you will find
In 2008 the University of South Florida, College of Public Health, in conjunction with the OSHA training institute, completed a study on the effectiveness of the LifeBack®
Lumbar Support is
different from every other back support belt on the market as it is designed as a support and not a belt at all. “Wearing the belt is not restricting at all and allows full functionality,” said William Cavalieri, Jr. “As a wearer, you don’t become dependent on the support which is a tremendous advantage. You can still engage your core muscles, you can still do therapy if you have a strain and no one has to even know you are wearing it.”
For business owners, CEO’s and risk managers alike, my thoughts turn to the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin – “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The LifeBack®
Lower Lumbar Support
in reducing back pain in workers who were doing a type of work that could strain their lower backs. Results showed that of the 1,100 participants, 100% of these workers who wore the support for 60 days or more reported an improvement in their back pain, and the majority of cases reported they had no back pain at all. There were reports of 14 workers’ compensations claims filed by workers in the study who were not wearing the support at the time of the injury. These workers’ compensation claims exceeded $800,000, a staggering figure. There were no injuries reported among the workers using the LifeBack®
Lower Lumbar Support. Additionally, Lower Lumbar Support is certainly one ounce of
prevention that could result in several forms of “cure,” from fewer injuries in the workplace to a reduction in the severity of injuries that do occur, which means workers are back on the job much sooner. A reduction in this type of risk would certainly factor into lower workers’ compensation premiums and loss of wages. Another interesting fact to note is that the workers at risk are not always employed in the obvious professions you might guess, such as furniture or equipment delivery or heavy
100% of the workers who had back pain and used the support for 60 days or more reported a decrease or complete elimination of their back pain. Equally as impressive, more than 80% of the workers with back pain reported an immediate improvement when they started to wear the LifeBack®
Lower Lumbar Support.
If I were the CEO of a company that paid out considerable money in workers’ compensation each year, my first priority would be to take a more preventative and proactive approach to saving money on insurance claims on lower back injuries, as well as the severity and lost work time due to those claims.
What I also learned when sitting down with the Cavalieri family was that behind such an impressive product stood an equally as
