There is no way to do an experiment with and without the belt on the same person, so we have to go with understanding the process. Medical News Today suggests not wearing a constrictive garment like a pregnancy belt for too long at any one time as it may decrease blood flow to your tummy and growing baby. Some pregnancy support belts can also cause general discomfort, pain or skin irritation particularly if the sizing isn’t right. The NHS advise you to wear a maternity belt when you’re doing activities that cause pain, such as walking or housework. Some doctors or physiotherapists may also recommend you wear the belt or band while sitting down or in bed - but make sure the belt isn’t too tight and if you’re uncertain about how best to wear it, speak to your physiotherapist.

What’s more, it can be worn postpartum to offer extra stability after your little bundle of joy has arrived. The Serola Belt does not replace muscle function. The core muscles are turned off and weak for a reason. Injured ligaments create a reflex that turns off muscles that would worsen the injury, e.g. the Transverse Abdominus, Multifidus, and other core muscles. Most pain comes from the build up of toxins in imbalanced muscles that are either too tight or too weak and deconditioned. Exercise or stretching flushes out toxins accumulated in inactive muscles. Although it feels good, supporting or exercising these muscles can worsen the joint, if done incorrectly. By properly stabilizing the sacroiliac joint, the Serola Sacroiliac Belt normalizes muscle tone and allows them to assist in supporting the joint naturally. Exercising while wearing the Serola SI Belt allows better muscle function and pain relief, while not stressing the joint.The Serola Belt is adjustable and can be used for years to come for both pain relief and pain prevention.
