Why Do You Experience Lower Back and Foot Pain During Pregnancy?
Weight gain, Swelling and Hormonal changes are all part of Pregnancy. All of these factors affect your feet which in turn affect your lower back.
What is Elastin?
A natural hormone, elastin, is released during Pregnancy. This hormone works to gradually relax the ligaments connecting the pubic bones which helps to accommodate for delivery.
The Effects of Elastin On Your Feet:
Elastin also affects another important ligament (the Spring ligament) located in your feet, causing it to relax and stretch. This results in less support for the arch and a gradual flattening of the feet. This condition is aggravated by weight gain during Pregnancy. As your arch provides less and less support you experience increased strain on your feet, knees and muscles in your lower back. Ultimately, this can cause discomfort in the joints of your feet and lower back muscles.
As a Podiatric Surgeon I saw how pregnant women suffered because of their feet. I am pleased, FABS can help bring comfort to your pregnancy. Dr. Ivar Roth Diplomate American Board of Podiatric Surgery
Every Expectant Mother Needs FABS!
FABS may be worn with any shoe, sandal, or even barefoot. This revolutionary new patented product helps relieve nagging lower back discomfort and foot problems that can accompany pregnancy. Expectant mothers feet stretch and flatten out due to hormonal changes, swelling and weight gain. This causes the muscles in your lower back to work overtime, resulting in lower back and foot pain.
But now there's a solution...
FABS provide support for the arch and joints for your feet. Additionally, the Shiatsu (pressure point) effect of the shock absorbent pads work to relieve stress on the planter fascio and help restore the natural biomechanical function of your feet.
How & Why FABS Work?
FABS (Foot Arch Band Supports) utilize a unique compression support material designed to support the arch and joints for your feet. Additionally, shock absorbent pads have been added to help create a Shiatsu (pressure point) effect, which help produce biomechanical changes that can decrease pronation (flattening of your feet). These elements work to help alleviate the lower back and foot pain commonly associated with pregnancy.
