Mothers wear less high heels within one year after birth

[Ben Wang - shoes and life] upgraded to "mothers", the many women in order to protect the unborn baby, will take the initiative to take off the high heels, put on flat shoes. After maternity leave, in order to return to the workplace with a perfect image, many novice mothers can't wait to put on their beloved heels. However, orthopaedic experts recommend that for the sake of health, it is better to use less high heels for one year after birth.

Postpartum body full recovery? Joint ligament did not OK

Women in maternal and childbearing wear heels have greater risks than the average person. During pregnancy, endocrine changes, especially estrogen and progesterone levels, increase collagen breakdown of the joint ligaments, reduce the collagen content of the joint ligaments, and reduce the arrangement of collagen fibers. As a result, the ligaments of the pelvis and other joints change. Relax and prepare for childbirth.

Usually 3 weeks after delivery, the body's hormone levels will return to a normal level. However, this does not mean that the ligaments of the human body have returned to normal levels before birth. Usually the ligaments are completely repaired to a completely normal level, depending on individual differences, at least 3 months to 1 year. Therefore, the postpartum period is as short as 3 months, but within a year, women's feet, pelvis and lumbar ligaments are in a relatively relaxed state.

To step high heels too early or aggravate lumbar pelvic strain

Novice mothers wearing high-heeled shoes pose certain health challenges to women's joint ligament tendons and other sports systems. When wearing high heels, 60% of the body's weight needs to be supported by the forefoot. Over time, stress is concentrated on the toes and there is ankle and ankle problems, including iliac pain, hallux valgus, and ankle sprain. On the other hand, after wearing high heels, the pelvis tilts forward and the line of gravity moves forward. In order to maintain stability, it is bound to take the posture of raising the chest, bending hips, extending the back of the waist, flexing the hips, and bending the knees. However, due to excessive waist extension, the contraction of the back muscles is tightened, the shear stress of the lumbar facet joints is increased, and the joint capsule is in tension. In the long term, the back muscles, joint capsules, and facet joints are prone to strain, resulting in back pain. pain. At the same time, long-term knee flexion, the forward movement of the gravity line, so that the knee weight stress changes, prone to knee pain and arthritis symptoms.

Surveys have shown that about 50% of pregnant women experience lower back and pelvic discomfort. If you wear high heels prematurely after delivery, your lower back and pelvic tendons and ligaments may be aggravated.

Experts advise: workplace hot mother wear high heels every day not to exceed 2 hours

It is not recommended to wear high heels every day for 3 months to 1 year after delivery. Daily shoes can be preferred flat shoes, or short heel shoes, wedge shoes. If the heel height exceeds 4 cm, the chance of an ankle sprain will increase significantly. For workplace hot women who must wear high heels on special occasions, it is recommended that they should wear a pair of high-heeled shoes for daily use, and wear high-heeled shoes for no more than 2 hours per day.

After this dangerous period, if you do not have symptoms such as lower back and pelvic pain, consider wearing high heels normally. But need to be reminded that, as long as the backache, calf or foot sore, you should immediately let the high-heeled shoes “off the post” until the joint discomfort symptoms disappear before wear, because it is very likely that the strength and stability of the joint ligaments is not complete Recovery, unable to withstand the pressure of existing high heels.

Choose shoes do not challenge "prenatal height"

First of all, to pick a pair of stable high heels, the key is to look at three points. One is to have good contact with the arch, the other is that the upper must not be inclined outwards, and the third is that the heel should be strong enough and cannot be inward.

Second, do not worry too much about choosing the height of your heels. Don't immediately switch to “hate the sky”, but start with “low-altitude” shoes first and then gradually. Even if you can wear 20 cm high shoes before pregnancy, postpartum may not be able to challenge success. Both feet and the whole body need a process of re-adaptation. You can wear shoes with a height of 4 centimeters first, then consider shoes after 6 centimeters, and gradually transition to "high altitude."

Finally, don't do dangerous moves when wearing high heels. "Don't run when wearing high heels, even if it is a hurry." Song Weidong pointed out that because of wearing high heels, the body's proprioception and muscle reflex will become dull. In addition, the ability to "shock" the lower limbs, coupled with loose ligaments and relatively unstable joints of the waist, pelvis and feet, can easily cause acute lumbar, pelvic, ankle sprain or strain.
