What's Included?
How Do I Find the Right Size Support for Me?
The Deep Abdominal Binder is available in four different sizes. To find the right one for you, simply measure the circumference of your waist as shown in the image below:
Once you have your measurement, please consult the sizing chart beneath to select the correct size for you.
| Size | Waist Circumference |
| Small | 22 - 28" (56 - 71cm) |
| Medium | 27 - 33" (68 - 84cm) |
| Large | 32 - 38" (81 - 96cm) |
| Extra Large | 37 - 43" (94 - 109cm) |
What If My Measurement Falls Between Sizes?
If your measurement falls between sizes, we recommend selecting a size up. A support that is too small for you will roll up and slide upwards, which is uncomfortable and inefficient.
How Supportive Is a Deep Abdominal Binder?
In order to enhance healing, the Deep Abdominal Binder is designed to provide a supportive fit around the waist to encourage tired and loose ligaments back into place. The tension of the binder can be adjusted depending on your requirements and condition.
What Is the Value of Supportive Compression?
Supportive but comfortable compression prevents worn out ligaments, tendons and muscles encouraging incorrect posture. An abdominal binder enforces correct postural habits in these muscles and relieves the pain associated with lumbar and midback fatigue.

How Does the Deep Abdominal Binder Work to Relieve Pain?

How Does the Abdominal Support Binder Adjust Tension?
The Deep Abdominal Binder has two main sections; the main body of the binder itself which attaches using a hook and loop fastening, and one additional strap on either side which allows the user to increase the compression level of their fit. These elasticated belts can be attached at the top or bottom of the brace, allowing the user to further tailor their fit.
