I suffer from chronic pain and had a stent placed for vein compression in my illiac vein in my abdomen. Compression is recommended and I've been wearing a variety of compression wear. This product has made a HUGE difference on my pain levels and overall functionality. Thank you!!
I am 61 yrs old. I have hEDS, Polymyositis and MCAS. My bones are ALWAYS subluxating and I have been PRESCRIBED and bought more braces than can fill a HOSPITAL. None worked "well" OR...HURT when going out and DOING things! I am a very "Active" Grandma. Fishing, Horseback Riding, Dog Training with large dogs! But when I got my JELLY BAND I put on without thinking much. THe FIRST thing I noticed it that it IMMEDIATELY and gently put my HIP{S and lower back in the RIGHT position. I went around gardening, training dogs, horses etc,...It was NOT until 6 HOURS later I REALIZED I was STILL wearing the brace, and it WAS COMFORTABLE!!!! Now I wear it daily and am very bendy and a lot more Pain Free! THANK you for a product that REALLY lives up to its "hype", I WILL be buying several MORE Jellybands!
This was purchased for my husband, who I strongly suspect has suffered with EDS since in his teens, undiagnosed of course. He actually gave it a try right away and found it significantly helpful! He prefers to be very active but since he experiences a triggered mid back on most weeks it has actually become very debilitating and has has a huge negative impact on his life. The Jellieband stabilizes his lower back so it stays relaxed and his mid back doesn’t need to compensate. Activities that normally cause cascading trigger points are now doable for him! It’s starting to lift his constant anxiety that his back is going to go out at any moment as he continues to build trust that the Jellieband is stabilizing and supporting effectively. My opinion is that this is a major turning point for the good in his physical and mental health. Bravo for creating such a comfortable device that works! We are wondering if there’s a Summer version so he doesn’t heat up so much since his preference would be to wear this all day - up to 8 hrs at a time.
I have hypermobility and a history of lumbar and sacral fractures. This piece of technology is truly life changing. I am getting my life back. I recently left my full-time job because of chronic pain, and now Jelliebend is helping me launch my own business. Thank you for making this incredible gift.
I was so worried about spending more money on things that don't really help. After getting independent reviews from an EDS peer group, I placed my order. I'm so glad I did! I noticed fewer "weird" sitting positions and that I can stand for a bit longer, giving my muscles a bit of a break from trying to keep it all together.
The moment I put it on my spine feels better. Without it my back feels tingly and numb. This helps me be on my feet without discomfort. I also need abdominal compression for dysautonomia since socks do nothing for me. I was skeptical at first but decided to try it. A great decision. Thanks for a great product.
I have 3 products from Jelliebend, and to say they have changed my life is an understatement. I wore a back brace as a child and probably should have had surgery but opted not to as a teenager. I have dealt with/lived with scoliosis pain for my entire life. Over the past couple of years, the hip and low back pain has been awful, and I am often found lying flat on my back to just stretch out. I have a medium and large band, and I change them out depending on how much support I need at the moment. The medium sometimes rolls up on me and I have to adjust. I also have a jelliebody, and it’s amazing. I wear is as a shirt under a button down or sometimes under a sun dress, and it feels so supportive. I spent a few days in NYC last week and ended up walking from Herald Square to the middle of Central Park and back. I can’t imagine doing that without wearing the jellie! In fact, on day 3 I felt so good from the support from the previous two days that I was able to forego. Sometimes, on a long card ride (over an hour), I wish I was wearing it just for a little more support. I would not say my pain is gone, but as a woman in her 40s who uses a heating pad in the middle of summer to relax muscles and mitigate pain, this is an awesome alternative that doesn’t leave me sweating bullets!
Since my Jelliebend and Jelliebody arrived in the mail, I've worn them (one or the other depending on outfit) daily and cannot stop raving to my partner throughout the day about how much difference it makes for my day to day pain. LOVE when a product lives up to/surpasses the advertising promises. This product really does offer so much support without being overly tight, and I feel the difference from head to toe. Once it's on, I feel my core stabilize, which then leads my hips to align themselves under my body more rather than be tilted, then my knees feel better and I zip up my whole lower body, and then my shoulders pull back, my neck pulls out of forward head posture, and I feel the relief right up to the crown of my head as tension releases. It's incredible! Whether doing my day to day tasks or working out, dancing, or doing yoga, the Jelliebend is there for me now like a second skin. THANK YOU for making this product!!!
