Effective Hip Pain Relief!

This belt, when worn correctly, works well to relieve my SI joint pain and seems my best alternative to SI joint fusion or to steroid injections. I am an active 79-year-old man, 5'6" tall and weighing 146 pounds. I bought the Sparthos Sacroiliac Si Hip Belt (Black - Regular size). It's easy to put on, take off, and to adjust. It's light weight, well-constructed of quality materials and comfortable to wear all day long. Initially I made the mistake of cinching it up too tightly. This caused pain. Firmly but lightly adjusted works very well for me and, of course, walking with good posture helps tremendously to reduce the pain. Sitting too long in any chair is problematic. I find that walking or even just standing while wearing this belt cuts my pain sufficiently that I don't usually need any pain relief (Tylenol or Excedrin) even when I know I've done too much twisting, bending over or lifting. Raking up leaves or using tools such as a hedge trimmer trigger my pain but use of this belt + doing SI joint stretches and exercise truly keep me moving. I sincerely hope this review is helpful to you if you're dealing with SI joint or other lower back or hip pain and are looking for a good possible alternative to surgery.

In '22 I started playing pickleball at age 67 and almost immediately started having lower back and hip pain issues. Purchased and tried several back braces with little improvement and had to stop playing and undergo PT. After researching, I started to suspect my main issue was SI joint related. Ordered this and saw immediate and significant improvement. The difference is where this sits on your hips. Just below the hip bone and really tight, not really where back supports are targeted. SI belts basically supplement the piriformis muscles ability to hold the 'gap' that is the SI joint. Coupled with a disciplined routine to strengthen the piriformis muscles, I'm back to vigorous 4.0 play at age 70. Also, this is relatively light weight and less confining than a back brace. Only negative is that velcro failing to hold as securely after three years and occasional washing. I usually rinse and hang dry after play and the belt has otherwise held up very nicely.

Helps when needed.

Almost Instant pain & spasm relief. Helped correct my posture. You’ll definitely notice a difference when it’s properly placed on the body. It’s just the right size and not cumbersome at all

Product worked good. Had decent support, thin and sleek, good velcro. However, I broke out in hives where the brace touched my skin. Had to wash the brace and remove whatever chemicals on it.

Simple easy to use construction; I wear it all the time with my pt’s advice

It fits well. Described just as it is.

I have hypermobility and posture issues and I use this belt along with thinner support with a leg portion in tandem. The construction allows you to set the under belt portion tight for support while the main straps over them can be set to pull on one side or the other more. My right hip is the issue so the way I set the belt is to have the right strap be lose and positioned at my right hip, while the left strap goes all the way over to the right hip and pulls it from there. Then you can adjust the elastic portion like an X to cover your entire hips, front or back. After doing that along with wearing it over my thinner brace has done a great job at helping my body get back into a position where my other muscles can grab it. The only issue is that it can be difficult to find the eventual fit that helps, and that the X straps can not go low enough to support my right glute, but that's ok as It's going fine despite that.

The hip bands staying strong and in shape. I'd of bought the size up, bc my size - 'regular' are near the '33" - 45" , and with the large size , more velcrose wrap would grip . Weight'll be going off though , bc, this belt s helping me walk better, longer and more often. Though i might get a belt and add at my medical aid collection.

Very good

Very good product kept me working on hard rock in a dozer

Excelente producto, fue un regalo para mi Papá que ya tenía mucho tiempo batallando con dolores y es lo único que le ha ayudado a aminorar el dolor y mejorar la calidad de vida.

This is OK.Meet the all requirements 1.Quality.2.Comfort.3. of hip joint pain previously. More than requirements. Durability, I can't say after one month. Cost is higher.
