Abstract: A belt for providing lower back support to the wearer of the belt has a first section and a second section that is substantially symmetrical to and positioned opposite the first section. The first section connects to the second section at a rear connection region. The first section has a first fastener panel, and the second section has a second fastener panel corresponding to and positioned to attach to the first fastener panel to secure the belt around a lower back area of a wearer of the belt. The first section and the second section have a reinforcement plate at a rear connection region of the belt. An adhesive strip extends across the first section and the second section from the rear connection region. A cord interwoven through the reinforcement plate is pulled to secure the first section to the second section and to tighten the belt around the wearer.
