I use it to tie myself to my bed so I don’t have to get up and workout. Haven’t been injured during the twelve years I’ve owned that thing. Product endorsed.

They do not prevent injuries, instead it allows you brace the core using the valsalva technique. This results in a stronger column which may result in greater stability and strength through certain lifts. In particular, the overhead press.
