Back brace at basic

I suppose I was still not being clear on this.

First by back brace I mean an under-clothes brace like what you might put on your knee.

Second, sorry Kgard I was definitely not clear. I dont "require" a back brace.

This was a sprain that happened 8 years ago. I treated it with PT then and it has been more or less fine.

As it stands, I currently work as a bartender, so I am on my feet for 6-7 hours without break, standing on uneven rubber mats and moving around a few dozen cases of beer and wine every day. I get through this without even a little soreness or pain probably 95% of the time. It is just every now and then if I am slouching for too long, I start to develop a throbbing soreness in my lower back. Usually just taking a moment to stretch and move around, bend around, and maybe in the worst scenarios take a seat for a minute is more than enough to get things back on track.

If my PT from high school is any indication, getting back to a regular fitness routine that strengthens my back muscles will probably make the problem go away. I may or may not have slowly slacked on that over the last 8 years >_>
