SI-LOC® #670 by OPTP - Sacroiliac Belt Size Small/ Medium

This belt is a complete relief!! Whenever my SI pain flares up, this helps to stabilize my hips and relieve the pain faster. I could not get through the flare ups without it.

Aesthetically, it looks fine, except under tight clothes, but that's to be expected. I think this belt is a cheaper option to many others out there. And it costs twice as much if you purchase it from a physical therapist.

My PT asked me to order this belt to help with SI hypermobility as we retrained muscles. To our mutual dismay, the so-called "nonslip" pads are simply pieces of the same rubbery-weave stuff you roll out in the kitchen cabinet under china and crystal. And if you plan to move, it will slip upwards. I had to constantly stop to pull it downwards to keep it from riding up over my hipbones.

Previously it was applied at the low end of poundage advised, so we tightened it to the higher end in the hope it would stay in place better. Unfortunately, we found after only a few minutes the pressure this placed on cutaneous nerves was unbearable--and it STILL slipped.

Contrary to advertising, this belt does not have any appreciable padding and it is not any less bulky under clothing than others of a similar design. You're going to have bulging regardless if the belt is outside or inside your clothing, so get a belt you won't be trying to yank back in place under your pants.

The one good feature was that the hard plastic buckle can be worn to the front or offset to one side.

Quite the letdown, and of course, non-returnable.

I was told by my physical therapist to use this specific belt when doing strenuous activities such as yard work and laundry to lessen the joint from being aggravated. It works like a wonder when used with specific stretches given to you by a professional. I use it on a daily basis only during times where I will be doing lots of bending.

Once you take it off, you can feel how well it supports the SI joint and pelvis. Stretches following usage is needed to prevent any flare ups.

This is the best one out there because it breaths nicely, is comfortable and doesn't come with lots of bells and whistles.

Well worth the price.

The belt is not so comfortable. I'd say Serola's SI Belt is more durable, very comfortable, and much better than this SI-Loc belt. Just my opinion.

I am a physical therapist and as well as a person with SI joint pain. I own and use both this belt and the Saunders SI belt. This will not eliminate SI joint pain but will noticeably reduce it. I find this belt to be more comfortable to wear than the other belt because it is wider and more padded. However the other one works a better because it has more effective nonskid pads to keep the belt in position. Generally I wear this one when my pain is less severe and the other belt when the pain is more severe. Either belt fits under all but the tightest clothes.
