FACTS:
  • Sacroiliac stabilization is an important part of treating SI joint pain.
  • Your sacroiliac belt must stay in the correct place to be effective.
Research done at the prestigious Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands has shown that the most effective SI joint stabilization occurs when the sacroiliac belt is worn just below the anterior superior iliac spines (you can feel these bones just above where the hip bends at the front of each hip). This research is important because it shows that placing the SI belt in the correct position is the key to stabilizing the sacroiliac joint. The correct compression force must still be applied to stabilize the pelvis; however it is not necessary to excessively tighten a sacroiliac belt for it to be effective.
How THE ACTIVE SI BELT® Works

The above cited research provides evidence as to why the ACTIVE SI BELT® is the ideal sacroiliac belt. Put simply the ACTIVE SI BELT® will stay in place at the exact location where the most effective SI joint stabilization is achieved, just under the anterior superior iliac spines.

SI Belt Recommended by ProfessionalsThe innovative ‘Double-Belt’ design of the ACTIVE SI BELT® provides:

  • Precise support with a Nylon over-belt.
  • Flexible comfort from a Neoprene under-belt.
  • Support that stays in place & does not ride up like other SI belts.
Why THE ACTIVE SI BELT® Works

SI Belt - lower Back Pain Relief

SUPERIOR DESIGN - The ACTIVE SI BELT® is constructed of a cushioned Neoprene under-belt that flexes with movement and prevents slippage; and a sturdy Nylon over-belt, which remains secured under the front hip bones (anterior superior iliac spines) during activity. SI Joint pain and low back pain is reduced when you are sitting, standing, squatting, running, and playing sports.

SUPERIOR COMFORT - The cushioning of the Neoprene belt allows the Nylon over-belt to apply the correct stabilization force and fully stabilize the pelvis without pinching delicate soft tissues around the hips and pelvic girdle. The result is the perfect combination of SI joint pain relief, stability and comfort.

SUPERIOR EFFECTIVENESS - The superior design and comfort of the ACTIVE SI BELT® means it will be worn consistently, resulting in reduced strain, decreased back pain and faster healing of the sacroiliac joint ligaments. This leads to a more rapid recovery from SI joint injury and helps you to return to a pain-free life.

SI Joint and Back Pain Relief

The pelvic girdle is a ring of bones connected by three separate joint structures: the Sacroiliac or SI joints in back and the pubic symphysis in front. A combination of ligamentous and muscular support together with proper joint alignment provides a compressive stabilization force to the pelvis that stabilizes the SI joints and prevents lower back pain during normal function.

Numerous factors including acute injury, poor posture, cumulative trauma, pregnancy, improper lifting techniques aging, etc. can create excessive or diminished mobility in the sacroiliac joint or pelvic girdle; resulting in low back pain due to SI joint dysfunction or pubic symphysis dysfunction.

SI joint dysfunction is typically characterized by pain in the SI joint, lower back, buttock, thigh, or down the leg (sciatica). Pubic symphysis dysfunction is a less common problem, but is often disabling with pelvic pain, along with symptoms similar to sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

When a person is experiencing back pain due to SI joint instability or symphysis pubis dysfunction the ACTIVE SI BELT® will provide the correct compressive stabilization force that is no longer stabilizing the pelvic girdle. When it is secured in place, sacroiliac joint ligament strain is reduced, healing is encouraged and SI joint pain is reduced. Less pain means a more rapid return to your normal lifestyle.
