Does any one have experience of using a belt to support their lower back whilst running? I need to support my back and have thought of using a neoprene (?) type belt. My thoughts are a sweaty back is better than a stiff back. I have heard of people using motocross belts! Can anyone pass on the experience or recomend a belt for runners?

Hello!, I've used what are "Kidney Belt's" like they sell here and they offer some support but to be honest the Motocross stuff is just designed for impact more than support. Having said that I have used mine before for support after any training. As SS & Jiggi have stated you'll need a full spinal corset, I have used one before and in all honesty I found that in fact it was rest from sport for a week or so that helped more than anything. As Jiggi has said Pilates is fantastic!
TBH I think a course of back exercises from a physio is a better long term solution if that is at all possible
