Product Information

Sixty-three women enrolled. On multivariable analysis, immediate belted ASLR score was -2.70 points lower than the non-belted ASLR score (P < .001). Four weeks later there was significant improvement in the ASLR score with a belt (M diff = -0.99; P = .001) and without a belt (M diff = -1.94; P < .001); the decline was more precipitous for the non-belted response (M diff = -0.96; P = .02). Current NRS pain scores declined from baseline by approximately -0.94 points (P < .001). This decline did not depend on ASLR scores (interaction P = .43) or wearing a belt at the time of testing (interaction P = .51). Similar conclusions held for participants' usual NRS score and average PGQ score. After 4 weeks, 82% reported improvement based on the PGII. The Serola Belt increases strength throughout the body, especially the trunk, upper legs, and arms.

I’ve written an excellent post called “can I exercise during pregnancy” for all the details on how to exercise safely during this time. Trying to achieve a “healthy” body weight according to BMI However, unlike some maternity belts, this one cannot be machine washed, instead you need to hand wash it in cold water and leave it to air dry. And drying may take up to 12 hours, so make sure you wash it when you know you won’t be needing to wear it again for a while. It has two layers which are easy to put on and wrap close to your body, offering just the right amount of compression without restricting blood flow.

By normalizing the mechanics of the joint, we normalize it’s physiology, including muscle strength, proprioception, and fluid exchange dynamics. Normal function allows proper healing.

Additional stress on the joints from falls, accidents, poor posture, sitting too long, or activities that include bending, lifting, and twisting can increase the muscular response and pain. To determine if the ASLR score is immediately reduced by SIJ belt application and whether PGP pain and function improves after 4 weeks of belt use.Increases core strength and mobility by taking the place of ligaments that become looser during pregnancy.
