A weight belt is a piece of sports equipment, not a bandaid for poor bracing mechanics. . The benefits of using a weight belt, come to those who know how to do so with skill and execute with intentionality. . Weight belts help to increase Intra-abdominal pressure. This pressure helps to create stability for the spinal joints of the low back.... . The reason why this is beneficial in sport is because often times it’s the lumbar spine that is the hardest to stabilize, pressing against the belt takes some of the most difficult part of the lift and makes it a bit more manageable. . The reason why wearing a weight belt to alleviate low back pain with exercise is a problem is because in this example, you may develop some false confidence. . If you lack the skill to effectively use the belt, you run the risk of needing an excess of the Intra abdominal pressure the belt can create, and not know how to create it for yourself. . In this example, you may experience back pain in the moment, it might be hours later, but the damage was done. . If you need a belt to lift without pain, throw away your belt. See more

Coach Katy was featured on Immaculate Dissection. She has spent the last 3 years studying functional anatomy to learn how to better help her clients. She was able to successfully reduce her functional scoliosis. It didn't happen over night, or with manipulation or adding a heal lift to her shoe for her "leg length discrepancy." It happened with specific, intentional movement in the gym. Meet our ID-ealist, KP. KP decided to put the ID assessments and corrective strategies in... her own body, so she could inspire her clients to to do the same. . She followed our standard operating system for one year, working to make subtle yet significant changes to her functional scoliosis. . She dedicated her training around our principles. She does not wear a heel lift to correct her leg length discrepancy. . She reduced her functional scoliosis by significant degrees in one year, as depicted in these before and after pictures. Most importantly, her dynamism and comfort are being restored - with just a handful of minutes per day of mindfulness toward functional anatomy and the laws of biomechanics. She reports feeling stronger, more balanced, less anxious, and less in pain. ID is not a magic show. It’s not temporary results. It’s permanency in principles and delivery of load share through joints, muscles, nerves, fascia, blood and lymph. It’s simple yet consistent work that KP was ready to do. And she’s not even done. She outsourced for guidance in catalyzing her results. She in-sourced by working daily on the strategies that create sustainable change. KP is results oriented, but she understands the process is the result. Be like KP. I know we will be. #immaculatedissection
