2 out of 5 stars Not for petite women with large buttocks   September 3, 2009
Rach (Houston, TX)
I suffer from sciatica and SI pain. The reviews sounded wonderful, so I purchased one of these SI-LOC belts. I am a petite woman, about 5' 1" and weigh about 135 lbs. I have very round buttocks(mine are literally shaped like bowling balls) and this belt did not quite work for my body shape. The belt rolled up the back side of my buttocks even after tightening the belt. The belt would not stay on the sacrum (as per instructions). The more I loosened the belt, the less effective it seemed to feel. The more I tightened it, the higher up it rolled. This belt may work for others, but not for me.


5 out of 5 stars Si-Loc Belt by OPTP is Excellent.   July 8, 2009
Kamal R. Chaudhari (Tampa, FL)
I find this belt excellent. The width makes it non slippery. Also it can be tightened more. Buy it if you need this type of belt. Forget about those other skinny belts. I am fully sold on it.


3 out of 5 stars If it were a little wider...   April 20, 2009

It's a good product, very sturdy and stable and really does the job it's meant to do; but I think it would be better if it were a bit wider, maybe 5-6 inches, to hold the SI joint as well as one hip; it tends to sit over the hip bone if it's placed to hold the SI joint, and I end up using both this belt plus a wide back belt to cover both areas.


5 out of 5 stars It worked for me! (and made in USA)   February 23, 2009

I have SI joint dysfunction which as you know if you are reading this, is mighty painful. My sacrum is so hyper mobile that the inflammation was constant and so the exercises I was to do only aggravated the problem. After weeks of therapy I was getting worse and was so discouraged.Even a steroid injection did not help much. Then my physical therapist suggested a belt and I picked this one. It was easy to adjust and comfortable. I did not have a problem with slippage. It stayed in place. It did not show under jeans, but probably would under a very thin pant. I wore it each day during the day for one week and wow what a difference!! The inflammation went away and now the stabilization exercises are starting to work. I will use the belt when I am going to be twisting and bending--like at the grocery store, or when I have a flare up. I recommend this product!

I thought my Physical Therapist was crazy when he suggested this. I've had sharp searing pain for years in my pubic symphysis (feels like it is being ripped apart-- you can't breathe until it passes), I've broken my tailbone so it has fused in a malformed hook shape, along with hip and knee problems... Wearing this simple device has taken away one pain.

The hardest part was to stop wearing it after six months, you get used to the nice cradle feeling. But sadly if you don't stop using it the joint grows weak and you need it for life. I do keep it around for occasional flare ups though.

It can contribute to abdominal discomfort/ constipation, my solution was to pick up the maternity version- it has elastic and wraps tightly around, with a panel in the front to spread out the direct impact. It is not a normal maternity support, and would work for anyone with this problem.
