So far this is great I can't wait till winter comes, that's when my Hardware my back need something warm around it
I could walk and not feel any back pain it was supporting. Now if I could get them in other colors to go with my work wardrobe. I love the freedom to walk without pain.
I have POTS and hEDS. Since i got my bands I have been wearing the bend or the body every single day. It helps with my back, keeps my ribs in place (have not dislocated ONCE since I started) and was recommended by my cardiologist for abdominal compression. It makes me feel secure and supported, and helps with posture. I work 12 hr shifts as a nurse, and it helps me get through ny long days in better shape.
I was skeptical when I purchased, there are a lot of things that claim to help but don't.
This is NOT that!! I have an S-curve in my cervical & thoracic spine, then scoliosis in my lumbar spine. So my back is wonky in different ways. I also have hypermobility spectrum disorder, fibromyalgia, & small fiber neuropathy.
I have a lot of pain, in a lot if areas. This helps so much when sitting at my desk or in the car traveling (I do this frequently) & general house work.
I am also a mid-size girl, this bad boy doesnt roll up my hips or down my chest. I highly recommend!!
I originally got this to help me recover after laproscopic endometriosis surgery. It was really nice to have the support on my abdomen while letting my muscles relax!
I continued to wear it through out recovery because my job often requires heavy lifting and I have an old herniated disc injury I have to keep from aggravating. This is a wonderful back brace for heavy lifting - I have been wearing it in the hot summer and completely forget that I have it on - like all day! not sweaty, not uncomfortable, DOESN'T ROLLUP!!!! like wow! you can barely find underwear that doesn't do that and that has been around for thousands of years!
I can't wait until they start making bras and swimsuits ;)
ps I have a 35 under bust, maybe 38 around the biggest part of my middle, and a 36 @hip bones and the large fit me best.
Severe scoliosis made if harder and harder to walk. I wanted to take a 1 mile hike in my neighborhood that I have enjoyed formmany years and can no longer do because of back pain. With a jelliebend and a walking stick I can enjoy this hilly hike once again.
I ordered my first Jelliebend for some support dealing with a nasty flare up of sciatic (after I spent a month sleeping in a recliner because of another medical issue). I just completed a 5 day road trip to a conference. All of the sitting and all of the walking was manageable because of the support of the Jelliebend! Even in 100+ degree Texas heat! Thank you!
I had back surgery a few months ago and this is PERFECT for my long recovery. My usual morning soreness is eased by this support and it does not budge! Even on my curvy, overweight body. I love it and have recommended it many times
