What is a "back support belt"?

A back support belt, also known as a lumbar support belt, is a workwear accessory designed to provide support and prevent lower back pain during physical activities such as lifting and bending. The belt is typically made of elastic material and is worn around the waist, providing compression and support to the lower back muscles. It usually has a Velcro or buckle closure for adjustable fit and support. The belt provides stability to the spine, reducing the risk of back injuries and strain caused by repetitive movements. Back support belts are commonly used in jobs that require heavy lifting, such as construction and warehouse work, as well as in occupations that involve prolonged sitting or standing, such as office work or nursing.
