Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Happy
This belt is a complete relief!! Whenever my SI pain flares up, this helps to stabilize my hips and relieve the pain faster. I could not get through the flare ups without it.

Aesthetically, it looks fine, except under tight clothes, but that's to be expected. I think this belt is a cheaper option to many others out there. And it costs twice as much if you purchase it from a physical therapist.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Unfortunate waste of money
My PT asked me to order this belt to help with SI hypermobility as we retrained muscles.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product - supports
I was told by my physical therapist to use this specific belt when doing strenuous activities such as yard work and laundry to lessen the joint from being aggravated. It works like a wonder when used with specific stretches given to you by a professional. I use it on a daily basis only during times where I will be doing lots of bending.

Once you take it off, you can feel how well it supports the SI joint and pelvis. Stretches following usage is needed to prevent any flare ups.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good SI belt
I am a physical therapist and as well as a person with SI joint pain. I own and use both this belt and the Saunders SI belt. This will not eliminate SI joint pain but will noticeably reduce it. I find this belt to be more comfortable to wear than the other belt because it is wider and more padded. However the other one works a better because it has more effective nonskid pads to keep the belt in position. Generally I wear this one when my pain is less severe and the other belt when the pain is ... Read More
