Back Support

[Alibear]

The search function works again but I'm finding products from 2010 which are no longer available.
I'm suffering from frequent lower back issues due to arthritis combined with a bit of hypermobility, and I wondered if anyone could recommend a lower back support, mainly to help ease the pain rather than for riding comfort but both would be nice
Yes I've checked with GP and Physio, both are fairly non-committal about them but as I'm sat at my desk as work trying to maintain a sense of humour and be nice to my co-workers, anything that could help must be worth a shot.
So far I've found a Rambo ionic one?

Try looking for a posture brace if its for office type stuff, wouldn't know how they would be to ride in tho, not tried!
Also look up medical corset.
Both will help you sit straight & in turn should alleviate some back pain.

I've got a very natty upright go gadget to make sure I don't slump at my desk https://www.uprightpose.com/en-gb/
But currently with my lower back as it is I can't actually get to normal posture, when I wake up I'm pretty much pain free but as I sit up it starts and just builds from there throughout the day.
I'm looking for something to help take the strain a bit whilst I recover, I shall have a look at medical corset although it sounds a tad scary!

The Back on Track human back brace looks promising, I keep meaning to get one. The horses love their stuff and I've a tee shirt which is sooo comforting to wear. My ACPAT physio is a fan of BoT products, too.

I have the BOT one. It doesn't really support, so brace is a bit of a misnomer unless you pull it quite tight. But it's like wearing a very slightly warm hot water bottle against your back; in my case, helps stop the muscles going into spasm.

OH uses the Prolite back support. He started using it after he prolapsed a disc and he really rates it.

I've just bought one of these,

And I find it helps to support my back and I find it very comfy to wear.

I use a prolite back support when needed . My spine is scaffolded and I find it helps with lower back pain when in , and out of the saddle . You can usually pick them up on fleabay for cheap enough .

Boots do a washable..done up with Velcro straps corset type affair which I bought when transitioning from metal brace corset to using nothing when I broke my back.
