What Are the Benefits of Wearing a Maternity Belt?

This maternity belt will support your pelvis and stomach, helping to reduce pregnancy aches and pains. Maternity belts more evenly distribute your baby's weight over your abdomen and lower back, helping alleviate pressure on lower body muscles, ligaments, joints, and back. 

Why Choose a Trochanteric Support Belt?

A trochanteric belt is a supportive brace that can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and make going about your daily tasks less of a chore. During pregnancy it's common for the sacroiliac joint in your pelvis to widen, which in turn can lead to hypermobility.

This in turn can lead to difficulty staying in one position for any length of time, a pain at the base of the spine, and difficulty climbing stairs or lying on one side. A trochanteric belt is designed to limit excess movement of the sacroiliac joint, reducing the stress on tendons and joints and promoting proper alignment of the pelvis. 

Is Wearing a Trochanteric Support Belt Completely Safe?

This type of support belt provides support to your tendons, not muscles. This means there's no risk of muscle weakness in the lower back, allowing your tendons to relax and heal without causing muscle atrophy. 

Please note that if you are concerned about wearing the support belt, we recommend that you consult your doctor before ordering.
