When a woman is in confinement after giving birth, the ligaments in her feet, pelvis and waist are in a relaxed state. At this time, the shoes she wears should be comfortable and soft. She should avoid wearing high heels or hard-soled shoes to avoid heel pain. However, some women love beauty very much and want to wear high heels as soon as possible after the confinement period. So, can you wear high heels after the confinement period? Is there anything you need to pay attention to? Experts point out that new mothers wearing high heels will cause certain health challenges to women's joints, ligaments, tendons and other musculoskeletal systems. "When wearing high heels, 60% of the body's weight needs to be supported by the forefoot. Over time, the pressure is concentrated on the toes, causing foot and ankle joint problems, including metatarsalgia, hallux valgus and ankle sprains." On the other hand, after wearing high heels, the pelvis tilts forward and the line of gravity moves forward. In order to maintain stability, you must re-establish balance by straightening your chest, lifting your hips, extending your waist, and slightly bending your hips and knees. However, due to excessive lumbar extension, the back muscles contract and tighten, the shear stress of the lumbar facet joints increases, and the joint capsule is in a tense state. If this continues for a long time, the back muscles, joint capsule and facet joints are prone to strain, resulting in back pain. At the same time, long-term walking with bent knees will shift the gravity line forward, changing the load-bearing stress of the knee joint, making anterior knee pain and arthritis symptoms more likely to occur. Experts remind that it is not recommended to wear high heels every day within 3 months to 1 year after giving birth. For daily wear, flat shoes, low-heeled shoes, or wedge-heeled shoes are the first choice. If the heel height exceeds 4 cm, the chance of ankle sprain will greatly increase. For working moms who have to wear high heels on special occasions, it is recommended that they carry a pair of high heels for replacement in addition to their daily shoes, and the time spent wearing high heels should not exceed 2 hours a day. When you just come out of confinement, the body's functions have not yet fully recovered. If you wear high heels at this time, it will cause uncomfortable symptoms such as knee pain, back pain, and heel pain. Therefore, you need to avoid wearing high heels as much as possible at this time. If required by your workplace, you can wear high heels after three months, but not for too long. |
