Bob and Brad discuss what back brace to wear and if they are a waste of money.

Bob (the tall one) has been diagnosed with Ataxia. It affects his balance and his speech, but does not affect his thinking. We appreciate your understanding and support!

I've been wearing back braces for 40 years due to a broken back and spinal stenosis due to a parachute accident in the Army. You guys didn't even scratch the surface of braces.

[darlenericotta]

Thanks for explaining the different kinds of back braces! Thanks for being out there for us!

Periodically, I use a back brace to correct my slouch, which causes lower back and abdominal PAIN.
My brace has shoulder straps to ensure my shoulders and back are in alignment and is much wider around my midsection. I only wear for a few hours per day and only a couple days until the pain is relieved. THANK YOU!!!

[davidmoran]

I use one like the first one with the shoulder straps when I am on the garden tractor. Rural area with lots of bumps in the yard. I sometimes get off the tractor feeling better than when I got on.

If you have a physical job and your getting back pain without it you should use it. No good someone sitting in a office all day saying no you shouldn't use it.

Thank you so much for this video... so glad you both are continuing to make videos... still praying for Bob... hang in there Yahweh is in control... love you all!

[henrygreen]

Any benefit wearing one for sciatic discomfort (not severe pain), specially when sitting ? Tks

[deniseblanchard]

Thanks for this video.!
I have a few back supports/braces, and all are adjustable. Because my issues are with my lower back, I might try the one that cinches like a corset.

Great info! What are your thoughts on wearing waist trainers during cardio & strength training exercises? Also, do you plant o do an updated knee braces video (the other one is 5 years old and maybe you have new info / recommends)? Thank you guys!!! I love this channel - you've helped me so much!

[FollowScripture]

Awesome thanks for explaning the differet braces ...going to buy one tomorrow

[garagedweller]

please post a link to the brace with the strings and pullys.It is not any of the ones you have posted in your description. Thank you.

Can you use a brace to help with work that requires you to be bent over?

[shannonnicollechannel]

When I was a younger man, I rode bulls in the PRCA and did plenty of damage to my back. I occasionally use a weightlifting belt for lower back support. I also wear a back Support corset when times are tough lol. It’s nice to see a video on quality equipment! God knows my lumbosacral corset wasn’t cheap.

[raulocasio]

Hi Guys, Please let me know the "BRAND NAME" and where to ORDER the last brace you sampled. The one at 5:35 in the video...the one with the "String & Pulley System" at the back. I tried all the links you posted and I did not find it!
I would love to purchase this type of brace. Thank you!

[jenw]

Thank you for the info God bless you both.

[chelseab]

Its modern corset benefits lol. Thank you for the demo and for the different versions.

[lascellesstoddart]

What if you're in the trades, how often should you wear it ?

[musik]

I have a cheap brace, (as seen on TV). I looped about old ace bandage around it. Use it to wear my ice pack . For those times when you just can't lay down. The bandage keeps the ice pack from falling out.

[pamterrellauthor]

Excellent information - exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much for all you do!
