What Finally worked for my Postpartum Foot Pain – real Solutions for a real problem

It turns out there’s real science behind this.

Research has shown that pregnancy can permanently affect the arch structure of women’s feet. During pregnancy, your body produces the hormone relaxin, which helps loosen ligaments and joints in preparation for birth.

Unfortunately, that loosening does not just happen in your pelvis.

It also affects the ligaments in your feet.

Add months of extra body weight and pressure on your arches, and it makes complete sense why so many women experience:

• fallen arches
• foot pain after pregnancy
• bigger shoe sizes
• plantar fasciitis
• tendinitis
• ankle instability

And if you’ve had multiple pregnancies? The effects can compound over time.

Now add in spending years carrying toddlers, standing all day, and running after active kids in unsupportive shoes and suddenly it all starts to make sense.
