●Can I wear BackAlleve all day long? How about when I'm sleeping?
In a word, yes!
BackAlleve is designed to be worn all day long, however some people prefer to wear it only at work, or when on the road, etc. Basically, it comes down to your personal preference.
For those of you who are have heard that "wearing a back brace all day long can weaken your back and abdominal muscles" and are worried about complications, fear not. BackAlleve is unlike most lower back support belts in that it does not forcefully constrict your natural movement and thus does not result in degeneration of lower back and abdominal muscles.
BackAlleve is designed to prevent lower back pain, not to constrict your movement or prevent your natural range of motion.
So, you can safely wear BackAlleve all day long. Our company president prefers to use it only when sitting at his desk, commuting to and from work, and playing golf. But this is just his personal preference.
Some people that have problems getting out of bed in the morning even wear BackAlleve to bed at night, although these are fairly severe cases. We generally suggest that you take BackAlleve off before climbing into your warm bed, purely for hygienic reasons.
But as BackAlleve is easily washable in the washing machine, it's pretty much up to you how often you wear BackAlleve for maximum lower back support.

i would like to be able to help more people recover from back pain the way i did.
i used to take a minimum of 7 medicines to kill the pains i was suffering from and when these would not work anymore, i had to have epidural steroid injections every so often. eventually, i had spinal laminectomy, discectomy and deompression and then 2 accidents that "twisted" my spine and complicated everything. fortunately, i was introduced to pilates. it was like magic when the pain disappeared and then i just continued doing pilates to further stabilize my back.
i now teach pilates to a number of people who have suffered from herniated discs, osteoarthritis and other conditions.
the best part is that i no longer have to take pain killers and my overall health is far better compared to how it was decades go

Low back pain is really so hard to cure, sometimes, yoga exercise is an effective choice for pain relief.
