Back Brace

[richieN]

Hi all,

Looking for anyone who can give advice on back braces for lower back injuries. DD is 18 and slim for her age, so if there is anyone who can advise on whether bespoke braces are worth it and if so, what is the best value?

Has the young dancer been ‘prescribed’ a back brace?
 

Instinctively I’d say contact a physiotherapist who understands the needs of dance training or high level sports and follow their lead.
Then if medically cleared to do so, engage a strength & conditioning coach, again ideally who understands the demands of dance training, to address any specific strength deficits. 

These forums are great for discussion and an exchange of ideas but for something this important I would say in person dialogue with trained professionals would be necessary.
