A how-to guide on effectively using the LyfeFocus Lower Back Support Belt
The Lower Back Support Belt is designed to be comfortable yet supportive, stabilising the lower back and core muscles.
It can be used throughout the day, while undertaking desk work, sports activity, gardening, picking up the kids or whenever lower back support is needed.
To ensure maximum effect at the most painful times, the belt comes with a reusable hot/cold pack that can be inserted into a pouch at the back, to relieve muscle tension (hot) or reduce inflammation (cold).
Step 1
Place the belt around the lower waist and fasten at the front. The two visible support strips at the back should run parallel either side of the spine, with the logo facing outwards.
The belt can be moved up or down slightly to best suit your needs but should remain in the lower back area.
Step 2
Use the smaller adjustable Velcro straps on the outside of the belt to adjust tightness, overlapping the main belt fastening point for optimum support, whilst still ensuring you are comfortable.
Be careful not to tighten fully when using with the reusable hot/cold pack and first check for gel leakage.
Heating & Freezing
Microwave Heating:
Place the hot/cold pack in the microwave for 30 seconds. With caution, add 10 second intervals if still required.
