Pregnant Women

Pregnant women often suffer with chronic pain from the feet up.

Because they are carrying a child they think it is natural to feel aches and pain - the answer is NO it is not natural to have pain and aches even when you are pregnant.

Because of the extra weight the body has to carry, the feet are under extra pressure and stress. If there is a lack of arch support in the footwear prior to pregnancy, then the problem becomes exaggerated during pregnancy as the weight increases.

With no arch support, arches collapse, ankles pronate and posture deteriorates, resulting in general aches and pains.

During pregnancy ligaments soften as the body comes under the influence of hormones, adapting to accommodate the growing baby. As ligaments soften, joints have less structural support causing general pains. Some relief is available that is practical, simple, and safe in its application.

To relieve some of the muscular aches and pains of pregnancy:

• Purchase shoes or boots with good solid base.

• Get into medical grade footwear and or Orthoses

•  See your health expert.

     Correct support will result in good health from the feet up!
