There are many types of waist protectors, so you must consider your own needs when choosing:
1. Is the purpose of protecting the lumbar spine or hip? The former needs to buy a high waist support, the latter needs to buy a low waist support.

For patients with waist discomfort, it is often necessary to add steel or resin slats after the waist support to fix the body shape, reduce bending and relieve pain.

Only the line shape that conforms to the body shape and exercise habits can fit the body and be flexible when bending over and turning around and exercising.
7. Is it convenient to deduct it?
8. Does it have additional functions? If it has a small bag that can be filled with heating tablets, if there is, it can be used in winter and can be emptied in summer.
9. Is it hard to tie up? This is still very important for older people.
