Advice needed - back support

[TreeHuggerMatt]

As many of you will know I’m a wee bit chubby and whilst I am losing weight ( slowly )  I have an issue when tripping with the scout where sometimes my lower back on one side will just start to get really painful, I’ve tried gels and painkillers etc and I bought a back brace which is slim enough to fit under the suit and bund and not cause fitment issues but I wonder if there may be a trick I missed. 
 

I know I’m not the only one a wee bit hefty so asking for advice from you awesome lot of you are or know anyone who is and has found something to help. 
 

Also amongst better diet and excercise which has helped ( had to shorten the TD belt 👍🏻 ) id like to see what others may have found  

Hopefully someone can 

 

TIA

HI ya Matt, I found its my posture, the way I hold my shoulders and Helmet. It might surprise you but those little things can stuff your back, hip and neck... been there.  

Shoes and inserts, I did this with another costume my hips where on fire and worked it was my shoes.

Try standing differently, when you have something unnatural  on your body will tilt and act differently hence the muscles are in different positions.

I hope this helps

It happens also in IRL so amongst other things I’m going to get one of the braces that corrects the alignment by pulling the shoulders back to align it so it ‘ learns ‘ how to be again if that makes sense. 
 

it’s just been an issue since I moved up here and had to transition to a desk job 

in costume I have insoles in the boots which are great but I’m pretty sure now reading your post again that like you say it’s not lined up so pressure on my lower back gets worse.
