Graphic 1:
Open the support belt by undoing the Velcro fastener.
Place the support with the large contact surface at the level of the lower back and fasten the belt with the right end over the left end under the abdomen.
The arrow on the label should point upwards.
Close the Velcro fastener as tightly as possible so that you still feel comfortable.
Graphic 2:
Take the two elastic bands in your hands at the same time and tighten them as evenly as possible so that there are no folds in the fabric that could cause a feeling of pressure.
Attach the elastic bands to the Velcro fastener provided so that you achieve a comfortable support effect.

If you feel that the support belt is too tight or too loose, repeat the steps above and vary the tension of the elastic bands.
