Serola Sacroiliac Belt


New Serola Sacroiliac Belt

Improvements in the New Serola SI Belt

Your Body Will Thank You

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt is designed to compress and support the sacroiliac joints, thereby relieving stress and instability at these weight bearing structures. Just as importantly, it is not so tight that it is restrictive. Excess or insufficient motion can adversely affect the entire musculoskeletal system. The Serola Sacroiliac Belt, by providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, re-establishes the joint’s normal motion.

Because of the stability the Serola Sacroiliac Belt gives to the base of your spine, strength is increased throughout your back, hips, and legs, and your chances of injury are lessened considerably during work or play.

Common Problem

CAUSE: With the emergence of the science of biomechanics, the sacroiliac joint has been shown to be major biomechanical cause of low back pain.

EFFECT: Sprained ligaments in the sacroiliac region cause imbalanced muscular responses which lead to structural compensation patterns, muscle spasm, weakness, and back, hip, and pain.

Serola Difference

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt is the only belt designed to normalize the function of the sacroiliac joint.

  • Non-elastic layer mimics action of ligaments
  • Additional elastic layer provides compression and helps maintain correct posture
  • No irritating buckles or pads
  • Does not replace muscle function - improves muscle function - increases strength throughout the body
  • Can be worn for extended periods without causing muscle weakness or atrophy

Study Conclusion

Studies conclude that the sacroiliac joints are important sensors of large force streams between the trunk and legs in which the largest muscles of the body are involved. In this respect, the sacroiliac joint functions as a multi-directional force transducer.

What To Watch For

Buckles that allow over-tightening, & uncomfortably press on the belly, or elastic that will not stop the joint from opening beyond normal.

INTRODUCING THE NEW SEROLA SACROILIAC BELT

The new Serola Sacroiliac Belt is the same belt in basic function but with a significant change in comfort and grip. The first layer is changed from cotton to an open-cell urethane foam.

The urethane layer has several advantages over the original cotton layer. The open-cell urethane is breathable, more comfortable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic (so it can be worn directly against the skin). Plus, it conforms to body curves better. Due to it’s tacky nature it grips so well that it will not move - even on the most active people.

The problem with most sacroiliac belts is that they move upward on the body because there is no way to attach them. The original Serola Sacroiliac Belt addressed this problem with two 1.5 X 6 inch strips of a tacky vinyl netting, but this has a couple of drawbacks: - First, it can irritate some people’s skin. - Second, although it holds fairly well on most, it will move upward on very active people or women with curvy hips. The advantage of the urethane foam, in this respect, is that it holds fast and will not move at all.

The problem with the urethane foam is that it is elastic in nature. We have overcome this by sewing a non-elastic 2" wide loop on top of the urethane composite, giving this layer a non-elastic function.

The purpose of this non-elastic inner layer is to mimic the function of the sacroiliac ligaments by creating a stop-point at the joint’s normal end of range of motion.

The Serola Belt’s elastic outer layer gives compression and resilience within the range of motion established by the non-elastic inner layer.
It is important to realize that too much or too little motion can create dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint. Together, these two layers make the Serola SI Belt the only support designed to normalize the function of the sacroiliac joint.
