Learn how to place and wear the Tabla lumbar anatómica TQ104 between your faja and lower back to reduce fibrosis and seromas, with a step-by-step fit process and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

Place the Tabla lumbar anatómica TQ104 directly against your lower back, then put the faja on over it so the board sits between your skin and the garment. Adjust the faja's closure so the board stays flat and centered before you sit, bend, or drive.

Why the board goes under the faja, not over it

The TQ104 is designed to sit between the faja and your back. Worn this way, the faja holds the board in place against the lumbar area, where it is meant to help reduce and prevent fibrosis and seromas. Wearing it on the outside of the garment removes that direct contact and lets the board shift as you move.

The board is lined in polyester elastane and heat-sealed, so it is firm but low-profile. That construction is why placement matters more than pressure: a flat, centered board distributes contact across the lower back, while an off-center board creates a hard edge in one spot.

When a lumbar board is the wrong add-on

A lumbar board is a support accessory, not a substitute for medical care. If you have a diagnosed spine condition, recent back surgery, or skin that is broken, numb, or highly sensitive in the lumbar area, ask your clinician before adding a rigid layer under a compression garment.

Also skip it if your faja already feels tight enough to leave marks without the board. Adding the TQ104 increases local pressure at the lower back, and more pressure is not automatically better. The board is most useful when you want targeted lumbar protection during long sitting or standing periods, not as a way to make a loose faja feel tighter.

How to wear the TQ104 with your faja, step by step

Start with clean, dry skin and the faja open: Lay the faja open on a flat surface and have the TQ104 within reach. Put the faja on loosely first so you can still slide the board into position, rather than closing the garment completely and trying to tuck the board in afterward. If the faja is already fully closed, reopen it before placing the board; forcing it in creases the edge.
Center the board on your lower back: Hold the TQ104 against the lumbar area with the curved shape following your lower back. Check in a mirror that the top and bottom edges are level and the board is centered on your spine, not shifted to one side. Common mistake: placing the board too high toward the mid-back, where it digs in when you sit.
Close the faja over the board: Bring the faja panels over the board and fasten them from the bottom up, smoothing the fabric as you go. The board should be fully covered, with no edge poking out above or below the garment. If an edge shows, the board is too high or too low; reposition before tightening.
Adjust tension around the board, not over it: Tighten the faja to a firm but comfortable level, then press the board area flat with your palm. You should feel even contact across the board, not a single pressure point. If one spot feels sharp, loosen and re-center the board. Checkpoint: you should be able to breathe and sit without the board edge pressing into your ribs or tailbone.
Do a sitting and bending test: Sit in a chair for a minute, then bend gently forward and to each side. The board should stay flat and quiet. If it shifts, pops, or digs in, reopen the faja and move the board slightly lower or more centered. Common mistake: skipping the sit test and only checking fit while standing.
Build wear time gradually: Use the board for short periods at first, such as during a work block or a car ride, and check your skin afterward for redness or marks that do not fade. Increase wear time only if the board stays comfortable and your skin stays intact. Stop using it and consult a clinician if you notice persistent skin irritation, numbness, or increased pain.
