The special Serola Sacroiliac Belt
CAT# 740 (S), 741 (M), 742 (L), 743 (XL)
Compare the Serola Sacroiliac Belt against any other belt using a simple test.
1 Test the strength of any muscle. One easy test is to have a sitting person raise a foot  off the ground and you push down on the thigh.
2 Fasten the Serola Sacroiliac Belt securely on the person.
3 Re-test the muscle strength.
4 Repeat this test with any other lumbar or sacroiliac belt.
RESULT: THE DIFFERENCE IN STRENGTH IS THE DIFFERENCE IN SUPPORT.
If the person is stronger with the belt on, this indicates that the person may have an unstable sacroiliac joint.
The sacroiliac joints are two of the most important support centres of the body, positioned where the body’s weight transfers from the spine obliquely through the pelvis to the legs.
As with any joint, sacroiliac instability causes reactive muscle splinting (Arthokinetic Reflex) that can be measured as weakness. Because most major muscles of the body attach to the bones that make up the sacroiliac joint, the weakness caused by their splinting can be found throughout the trunk, hips, and upper legs as these muscles create a self bracing effect on unstable sacroiliac joints. The weakness is only apparent, in fact, the muscles are not actually weaker, but called on to do two things at once, stabilise the sacroiliac joint and resist the examiner. The Serola Sacroiliac Belt, by helping to stabilise the sacroiliac joint, allows the muscles to use more of their efforts in resisting the examiner.
This principle can be applied to any situation that requires effort, including work, sports, or play. The person will function better and safer while wearing the Serola Sacroiliac Belt.
Unlike large, bulky lumbar support belts which give mainly muscular support, the slender Serola Sacroiliac Belt supports the ligaments and skeletal structure. Lumbar belts, by taking the place of weak trunk muscles, further the muscular weakness by promoting disuse and atrophy; for this reason, lumbar belts should be worn only when performing a specific task. The Serola Sacroiliac Belt, on the other hand, strengthens the supporting muscles by allowing them to function normally, permitting constant use of the belt while giving the wearer greater comfort and flexibility throughout the day.
These high quality low cost belts have dual tensioners and come in small, medium, large and extra large sizes.
