The different types of belts for back pain

Materials used to make back pain belts

Back belts can be made from different materials, including:

• neoprene: this is an elastic and resistant material which gives the belts great durability and optimal comfort.
• elastic fabric: it offers good flexibility and allows precise adjustment of the belt around the waist.
• plastic or metal reinforcements: they are integrated into the belts to provide better support and better distribution of pressure on the back.

1. Design : This step involves determining the dimensions, materials and functionality of the belt. It is essential to design a model that offers both good support and optimal comfort for the user.
