The Lumbar Support Pro includes a detachable curved anterior panel that is perfect to use during pregnancy. This firm support panel will be placed so that it is centered underneath a pregnant woman’s baby bump to provide additional compression and support for the core throughout the day. By lifting the abdomen and core while walking and moving around, the Lumbar Support Pro improves blood flow to the pelvis and lower extremities, so you will experience less edema and swelling. Many clients report more comfort and fewer aches and pains because of the reduction in the amount of pressure they experience in their pelvis! 

Motif Medical’s Lumbar Support Pro also includes an attachable posterior panel that gives more support to the lower back when you’re on your feet for long periods of time. During pregnancy, the weight of your baby and your uterus increases the strain on these low back muscles during the day. The increased compression and firm support provided by the LSP to this area of the body enables an expectant mother to maintain good posture and healthy blood flow while she is active throughout the day. 

Another helpful feature of the Lumbar Support Pro orthotic band is that it has adjustable side panels that can be tightened or loosened for just the right amount of compression and support. Because each of person carries their babies a little differently, this ability to individualize the size and support provided by the LSP ensures you can tailor the fit of the band to your own comfort level!

How does the Lumbar Support Pro Help the Body? 

The Lumbar Support Pro is also designed for use in the postpartum! Did you know that wearing a maternity compression device in the postpartum can reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and help your body maintain healthy blood flow after birth? The LSP has an attachable flat anterior panel that can be used after you deliver your baby, providing compression to your uterus as it contracts and shrinks back to its usual size. This support allows for proper involution and promotes healthy postpartum healing and recovery. Because of the normal blood loss that occurs during childbirth, your cardiovascular system has to make quick changes and if this doesn’t happen appropriately you can experience postpartum complications such as blood clots and increased bleeding. Wearing a postpartum support band helps your body make this transition without complications and also allows new moms to feel more comfortable sitting and walking while their body adapts to the postpartum. 

Motif Medical's Abdominal Binder

With this in mind, Motif Medical has also developed a new type of postpartum recovery garment. Motif’s Abdominal Binder is a support band that can be worn after a c-section or a vaginal birth and gives gentle compression to your abdomen, to reduce postpartum bleeding and the risk of blood clots. This binder is simple to put on and can be worn over or under your clothes. 

Motif Medical’s Lumbar Support Pro and the Abdominal Binder are intended to be worn for 2 to 3 hours at a time. These products are FDA approved and the cost may be covered by your healthcare insurance provider. Both the Lumbar Support Pro and the Abdominal Binder can be worn while breastfeeding or when using a breast pump. The LSP also includes an optional postpartum ice pack strap that enables you to use heat and ice to promote perineal healing after a vaginal birth.

Motif Medical's Maternity Compression Wear Options

While you’re checking out ways to support your body during pregnancy and postpartum with support garments, remember to check out Motif’s Compression Socks, too! These knee high gradient compression socks have 30 mmhg of compression to support healthy blood flow during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Like the abdominal supports, wearing compression socks promotes healthy blood flow and reduces the risk of blood clots from varicose veins and normal blood volume changes after birth. You can find a size guide for any of these products on the Motif Medical website
