The lower back takes it, and it lets you know about it by knock-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an adjustable lumbosacral support belt in breathable plush charcoal fibre. Vertical stays run up the back panel and limit how far your lower back can fold while you work. A wide hook-and-loop front panel sets the base fit, then two criss-cross outer pull straps let you set the compression where you want it and slacken it off again without taking the belt off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole mechanism.
