Last week 9 THP'ers along with myself were selected to test out a product that could help with lower back pain. It's called the Serola Sacroiliac Belt and you can read more about it in the sign up thread here http://www.thehackersparadise.com/f...erola-Sacroiliac-Belt-relieve-lower-back-pain.
This is the thread that will be used to discuss our thoughts, feedback and experience with the belt.
I will get started. I received the belt last week, so I have been using it for almost a full week now. It's super easy to put on, I followed the video below.
As soon as I put it on I could instantly feel my hips align. It felt like I got an adjustment from a chiropractor.
I was unsure if I should wear it over my clothes or under, so I tried both ways. It wasn't terribly uncomfortable under my clothes, but I found the belt to be a little scratchy this way. However, when I wore it over my gym shorts, I found that my shorts would raise up too high making them a little too short for my liking. I am not going out in public so it doesn't matter too much, but if I were, then the belt would definitely go under my clothes. The good thing is that you can't really tell it's on when worn under clothing, which I appreciated.
In the week that I have worn it, I can say that my back has felt quite a bit better. I haven't had to use the heating pad at night every night, which is a vast improvement from before. However, I am doing a lot of yoga right now, so I don't want to make the claim that it is 100% the belt that has caused this change.
My only complaint so far is that I find it pretty uncomfortable to wear when sitting down. It's pretty constricting, and I find that it moves up a bit and I need to constantly adjust it. This could be user error though, so I am interested to see what the others think.
The belts were shipped on Friday, so everyone should start getting theirs early this week.
This should be an interesting thread!
