Lower Back Support at Work and Home: Everyday Tips and Choosing a Brace

, by Joe S, 1 min reading time

Simple everyday habits for supporting your lower back at work and home, plus when a copper lumbar back brace can help you feel more comfortable.

Long hours at a desk, heavy lifting, yard work and long drives all ask a lot of your lower back. A few everyday habits, plus the right support, can help those days feel more comfortable.

Everyday habits for lower back comfort

  • Lift with your legs. Bend at the hips and knees, keep the load close to your body, and avoid twisting while you lift.
  • Take movement breaks. If you sit for work, stand up and move around regularly.
  • Set up your seat. Sit back in your chair with your feet flat, and keep your screen at eye level.
  • Break up long drives. Stop to stretch your legs on long trips.
  • Stay active. Regular walking and general strength work help many people feel better day to day.

When a back brace can help

A copper lumbar back brace wraps your lower back in adjustable compression. Many people wear one during the activities that are hardest on their back:

  • Lifting and moving boxes or furniture
  • Warehouse, delivery, construction and landscaping work
  • Yard work and home projects
  • Long drives and long days at a desk

Most people wear a brace during the activity and take it off afterward. For tips on what to look for, read how to choose a copper back brace.

Sizing

Measure around your waist, then check the chart on the product page or our size guide. The Copper Joe back brace comes in Small/Medium and Large/X-Large and fits men and women.

When to see a professional

A back brace is a support product, not a treatment. See a doctor if back pain is severe, lasts more than a few weeks, follows a fall or injury, or comes with numbness, tingling or weakness in your legs.

Shop all copper back braces. Every order is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
