Thuasne Lombax Lumbar Brace
Almost 20% of sporting injuries are related to the lower back or neck. It's important that, at the first sign of low back pain, you perform actions to ensure it doesn't get out of hand. The Thuasne Lombax Lumbar Brace has been designed to support your lower back and can even be worn while you perform sporting activities to help stabilise the area while you train.
Who Can Make Gains with the Lombax Support?
The Lombax Original Lumbar Support is ideal for osteoarthritis patients who are at risk of low back pain. This means it can be extremely useful for active older people. However, lower back pain can affect anyone, particularly those who perform twisting and turning movements. This includes those who train in the following sports:

How Does the Brace Work?
The Lombax Lumbar Brace works by increasing intra-abdominal pressure while also discharging weight from the back's muscles. It also restrains lateral movements and numbs pain by warming the affected areas.
