Back Injury

Injury Reason

Hiking on a rough and rocky road or keeping balance on an incline by leaning forward adds to back fatigue; and the carried equipment also tests the strength of the back along the hike. Loss of balance especially with the added load of a pack can injure the back if the muscles are not strong enough to control the motion.

How does LP Support help you?

The equipment loaded on a hiker's back and the forward-leaning motion to keep balance put a continuous load on the back. LP uses technology like metal stays or special cushions to provide support for the back, while cushioning the heavy equipment and allowing the back to resist stress from shifts in the center of gravity. The flexible binding wrap forms a column-like shape around the back to support the spine.
