The Decade Accupressure for Professional Back Support

Back Protection
To protect wearers from sustaining back injuries common in high activity tasks at work and at play.

Ergonomically designed back supports manufactured to be 'worn continuously' can, when used and worn as recommended, have significant health and fitness benefits.

The Decade Accupressure (Patented) back support is designed to reduce back injuries from sudden unexpected events (accidents), which result in applied loading (stress) to the lumber spine. Over contraction of strong back muscles by as much as 70% have been recorded.

Not commonly know is that >80 percent of recorded back injuries are not related to lifting, rather they come from pushing, pulling, bending, stretching, twisting slips, trips and falls.

There is plenty of proof that wearing a back support when lifting (correctly) makes common sense - you would not lift more than your comfortable limit and certainly would not ignore the 6 steps to correct lifting. You would, however appreciate that the proper stance would be easier to realize and that over a period you would be less likely to tire.

Properly designed and worn back supports with spring steel stays, omni directional elastic plus double and triple lock closures could well be the difference between painful injuries resulting in time off work and feeling healthy and energetic enough to spend time playing with the kids, your partner or your favorite sport.

Back injuries are still only 2nd to the common cold for sick days lost to industry Not protecting yourself or your employee could result in losing just hundreds of dollars right thru to 10's of thousands. Forget the cost for a moment and think about just how debilitating back pain can be - that's reason enough to invest in the health or your employees or of yourself.

In just about every industry there are high activity tasks that could cause back injuries there are also tasks where standing in a awkward stance or sitting for long hours can cause back pain e.g. at an operating, at a production line or driving trucks, heavy plant right down to bob cats and forklifts.

Last but not least playing Golf, motorcycling, fishing (offshore) and even several hours on your ride on mower can result in short to long term back pain it doesn't have to be that way.

Accupressure Back Support Features
Accupressure Back supports professional back belts - Clinically proven to perform.

Proprietary acupressure effect pad made with composite lightweight materials works biomechanically to reduce the over reaction of the back muscles during an unexpected loading event.
High density woven elastic cinch straps give consistent superior performance over long term use
Triple lock cinch strap feature
Variable number of spring steel orthopedic boning stays according to support size
Available in Black and Hi Vis Powerbright Orange
Quick release shoulder straps provide flexibility and safety for wearers.
