Back Support

[davedove]

I'm sure this has been discussed here somewhere before. Has anyone noticed how much support the kilt and belt provide to your back? The other day I woke up with a slightly sore back, and when I put on my kilt and belt, the soreness disappeared, only to come back when I took everything off that evening. Seems to me the kilt would be a lot more fashionable than a back brace.

Yup, that has come up before. I've noticed a traditional type kilt gives a great amount of support. Pretty nice bonus, isn't it.

Perhaps the wide belt more than the kilt...?

I sit for a living. Wear kilts to work. Kilt provides the freedom, kilt belt provides the back support.

Hmmm....are we talking a doctor's Rx to wear a kilt to work here...??

Any kilted docs out there?

I noticed that with my Stillwater Heavy. Back hurts less when I am wearing it.

Even without the belt the rise of a kilt helps give extra back support. The belt adds to that.

I've been an advocate of this for several years. The full rise of the traditional kilt is a definite theraputic bonus. It is most noticeable when taking the kilt off after wearing it all day. There is a pronounced and sudden release" that takes place... like your innards are gonna fall out unless you put it back on!

I guess the answer is... don't take it off!
