McDavid Universal Back Support

Back pain can be debilitating, especially if you're an athlete. The McDavid Universal Back Support features a neoprene back panel for warmth and comfort, and six stays for extra support. This allows it to support weak and injured backs, while increasing range of motion and reducing pain.

Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Universal Back Support?

The most popular in McDavid's line of back supports, the McDavid Universal Back Support features fully adjustable vented and breathable side panels. This feature, along with the neoprene back panel and supportive stays, allows the brace to support the back and increase range of motion without causing the wearer to feel hot or uncomfortable. This makes it ideal for athletes looking to support their back while taking part in intense exercise.

Protection Level III 

This robust support is rated at protection level III, a maximum level of protection designed for:

• Weak backs, as well as minor strains or pulls of the back or abdomen muscles
• Tendonitis, arthritis and non-specific back pain
• Pain relief and promotion of healing

The above is a guide only, not a substitute for medical care. Always consult a doctor for injury diagnosis and treatment.

Sizing Guide

To determine which size is right for you, measure the circumference around your waist and refer to the table below.

How to Apply

Detach side pulls and wrap base of unit around waist with 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, weightlifting and work activities involving lifting.
