What is the purpose of the Donjoy Porostrap 2.0 Lumbar Respiratory Belt?
Donjoy's Porostrap 2.0 Lumbar Respiratory Belt has been designed to meet the daily needs of people suffering from lower back pain, whether recent, chronic or the result of a return to physical activity. Thanks to its innovative textile design, this belt naturally conforms to the body's morphology, while delivering moderate compression precise enough to provide an immediate analgesic effect. Its 4 flexible back ribs and double adjustable straps on both sides optimize support without hindering normal movement, like a hand supporting every movement. With its "Seconde Peau" technology, it automatically adapts to the body's natural curves, ensuring prolonged comfort even when worn daily under clothing. Users feel continuous support that acts like a protective envelope, ideal for walking, work or light activities.
The main role of this belt is to reduce the muscular and ligament tension often responsible for lower back pain, particularly during periods of (sub)acute low back pain, lumbago, or when resuming activity after a period of forced rest. Its breathable design limits moisture accumulation, a notable advantage for active people or those wearing the belt for several hours a day. The combination of bilateral elastic straps enables the level of support and compression to be precisely adjusted to each moment of the day, creating a personalized and intuitive experience. Its anti-transpirant coating enhances comfort by limiting skin heating, while ensuring discreet wear under thin clothing.
One of the belt's major assets is its relaxing effect, directly linked to its adjustable straps. These allow you to increase or decrease compression as needed, offering proactive pain management. When tensions intensify, a simple adjustment of the straps is all it takes to enhance the therapeutic action, as if the belt were adapting in real time to the desired level of comfort. This works like a continuous static massage, gradually relieving muscular tension while limiting the awkward postures often responsible for recurrences.
The belt also plays an essential role in preventing harmful movements, thanks to its proprioceptive support. This type of support acts like a permanent body reference point, unconsciously reminding us of correct postures and limiting sudden movements likely to accentuate back pain. This discreet support helps the user to regain serene mobility, relearn safe movements and build confidence in everyday movements. Whether the user leads a more sedentary or active lifestyle, this feature encourages a more aligned and harmonious posture.
In the case of persistent pain or periods of muscle fatigue, the moderate compression exerted by the belt also helps to reduce spasms and gradually release tension. Wearers often feel a sensation of weightlessness, comparable to removing an invisible weight from the lumbar region. In the acute phase, the recommended wearing period is between 3 and 4 weeks, before more occasional use as a preventive measure, depending on everyday situations: physical activity, light handling, long days in a seated position or periods of muscular fragility.
In conclusion, this belt is a real ally in soothing, supporting and protecting the lumbar region. It combines support, adaptability and comfort, while incorporating modern materials to enhance well-being throughout the day. Thanks to its comprehensive approach combining analgesic effect, moderate compression, proprioceptive support, relaxing effect and breathable design, it helps reduce pain, rebalance postures and promote more fluid mobility.

How do I use this product?
For optimum results, a few simple steps are all it takes to position the belt correctly. Ideally, the belt should be placed in an upright position, on a thin cotton garment.
- Open the belt all the way and release the side straps.
- Place your hands in the hand loops at the front, then wrap the belt around your waist, centering the back stays on either side of your spine. The lower part should be just above the intergluteal crease.
- Close by superimposing the right panel over the left, then adjust the side straps by gently pulling forward to find the desired level of support.
Front stays can be removed if required. Compression can be readjusted throughout the day as required.
For care, we recommend hand-washing with soapy water, or a delicate machine cycle (max 40°C). Avoid aggressive products, bleach, fabric softeners or tumble-drying. Leave to dry in the open air.

Expert advice
For long-term back support, it may help to adopt a few simple naturopathic habits. Regular application of gentle heat, for example with a natural thermal cushion, can promote local circulation and relieve muscular tension. Marine magnesium, taken as a supplement, also helps reduce contractures and improve muscle resilience. Also consider herbs such as harpagophytum and turmeric, recognized for their positive influence on joint discomfort. Finally, don't forget that deep breathing, gentle stretching and adequate hydration play an essential role in back health. Always approach these natural approaches in consultation with a healthcare professional, to ensure responsible, personalized care.
