The Mediflex belt is designed to support the motion and stability of our sacroiliac (SI) joint, one of the most important joints in our body that can go overlooked. It connects our spine to our lower extremities and works as a shock absorber for our spine and hips.  The Mediflex belt has been expertly designed to prevent dysfunctional movement in the SI joint by supporting surrounding ligaments and preventing moving and opening beyond the normal range. There is reduced risk of injury to the joint and stress on the ligaments and this may relieve pain.  As a result the belt provides appropriate tension to promote healing and aid recovery at times of pain and injury and can also be worn for protection and prevention.

Usually such belts intended for lower back pain, are designed to replace or take over the action of the surrounding muscles. Therefore they should only be used for a short amount of time because of the negative effect to the muscle function. They have also been shown to have little effect on ligament repair. The Mediflex belt is designed to assist the ligaments, supporting the SI joint, allowing the muscles to return to normal function and effectively provide better stability and movement patterns with no negative effect. The Mediflex belt is also made of the highest quality materials and is hypoallergenic, breathable and comfortable enough to wear day and night and in any climate.

Unintentional movements while asleep, such as tossing and turning in bed, can lead to stress on SI joints and tension on the ligaments. The belt may enhance your sleep by providing you with better stability and support leading to a more comfortable sleep.

Yes, you can. Activities such as bending, lifting, pushing or twisting can exert a significant amount of stress on the SI joints. Wearing the Mediflex belt provides your sacroiliac joint with better protection, allowing you to outperform your competitors and reducing the likelihood of causing pain or injury to the SI joints. Due to the unique design of the belt, you can wear the belt when exercising as a protective measure and not only when you are in pain.

During pregnancy, the strong ligaments of the pelvis are affected by systemic hormonal changes and become quite lax. Utilising the Mediflex belt, you are able to support and stabilise the ligaments and take pressure off the sacroiliac joints (back of pelvis) and the pubic bone (front of pelvis). This will also allow the muscles to function more normally providing you with better support and COMFORT.
