For athletes with injured backs, it's important to ensure that the muscles of the back are supported, but most conventional back supports are too heavy and restrictive for sports. The McDavid Lightweight Back Support is a fully adjustable design which provides firm support and protection, without the bulk of most back supports. This makes it ideal for athletes and active people.
Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Lightweight Back Support?
The McDavid Lightweight Back Support has a fully breathable construction, making it easy and comfortable to wear for extended periods. This feature makes it ideal for athletes who want to support their back without becoming overheated.
Compression and Heat Retention
This support features elastic side pulls and five stays to provide additional support. Additionally, the neoprene used in the support delivers therapeutic heat to injuries to promote healing and reduce pain. Together, these features help to provide customised compression and recovery promotion, making it an excellent tool to help damaged back muscles heal.
How to Apply
Detach side pulls and wrap the base of the support around your waist with the back panel centred and low on your back. The base does not need to be tight. Grasp and pull both side pulls snug and attach to the side or front of the support. Adjust the side pulls tighter as needed for more support.
Recommended Usage
This product is designed to provide firm support and protection for athletes and active people of all ages regardless of the sport or activity. Its low profile and non-binding design is ideal for racket sports, cycling, skiing, hiking, golf, team sports and weightlifting.
