Can i use waist belt which we use after delivery for giving support to back. Plz recommend any correct belt that is helpful for me

The back pain is more due to sitting for prolonged duration and working in an non ergonomic environment. Belt can be used for temporary relief while standing or walking. While sitting you have to convert the work environment into an ergonomic atmosphere tailored for you. Compliment the same with desk discipline and relevant exercises. Weight can be taken care in the long term.
