ABSTRACT:
A back support adapted to be worn about a person's waist comprises a resiliently compressible, flexible elongate back pad, a pair of resiliently compressible, flexible elongate side pads, and resiliently elastic, flexible strap means. The back pad and side pads are configured and dimensioned to be positioned against the wearer's lower back and sides, respectively, when the back support is worn. The back pad is filled with a resiliently compressible, flexible filler (such as foam) and has stitching therethrough which compresses the filler in different areas to different degrees. Each of the side pads is attached at one end to a respective end of the back pad. The strap means releasably connects the side pads together to adjustably fit the back support about the wearer's waist.
