The Serola Sacroiliac Belt is much better at providing support than a band that goes around the belly or a lumbar belt because it is designed to support the Sacroiliac Joint, which is the biomechanical center of motion and shock absorption in the body. The belt is worn low and snug around the hips as opposed to the belly or lumbar area. Like the foundation of a house, the SI Joint is the musculoskeletal foundation of the body. By supporting that foundation, the whole body becomes stronger and the muscles have more endurance with less pain.
