More people suffer from back pain than any other orthopedic injury, leading to extensive use of back corsets and weight belts for the proposed prevention and treatment of back injury. In this lecture, Paul Chek presents strong anatomical evidence to support his position on the use of belts and corsets: “If you need a corset, don’t buy one, BUILD ONE.” You’ll learn why many people can lift more with back belts and weight belts, and why they are likely to accelerate the rate of spinal structure degeneration with these aids. Paul describes when to use these supports and how to wean them away from those who have become dependent upon them. See how the back is heavily dependent upon the upper and lower extremities, neck and core for optimal function and that focusing on the back is the first mistake made in rehab programs worldwide!
