Lantiovyö

Lantiovyö, also known as a pelvic belt or sacroiliac belt, is a supportive garment worn around the pelvis. Its primary function is to provide stability and compression to the sacroiliac joints and the pelvic ring. These joints are located where the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine, connects to the ilium, the large bones of the pelvis.

Lantiovyöt are often used to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with conditions affecting the pelvic region. This can include sacroiliac joint dysfunction, pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy, and instability following childbirth or pelvic surgery. The compression offered by the belt can help reduce movement in the sacroiliac joints, which in turn can decrease inflammation and pain.

The design of lantiovyöt typically involves a firm, adjustable strap that encircles the hips and lower back. They are usually made from durable, breathable materials to ensure comfort during prolonged wear. Many lantiovyöt are designed to be discreet and can be worn under clothing.

The effectiveness of a lantiovyö can vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. While they can offer significant relief for many, they are often recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include physical therapy, exercise, and other pain management strategies. It is generally advised to consult a healthcare professional to determine if a lantiovyö is appropriate for your specific needs.
