A member asked:
Should i use a back brace for lifting if i have suffered a lower back injury?

It is advisable: I also advise going to physical therapy for exercises. A back brace is helpful...And learn to lift with your legs and not your back. Good question.

Brace Should Help: The back brace should help. However, you will always have to be conscious of your lifting mechanics, weight and preexisting limitations. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
