SPD/PGP – Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction or Pelvic Girdle Pain – is the bane of many a pregnant woman’s final months carrying a child. In severe cases, bedrest and crutches become a necessity. Maternity belts can help support the area and stabilise the joints, therefore easing some of the pain. These belts can also encourage better posture by evening out the centre of gravity so as to reduce the impact of the growing bump and the increased likelihood of stooping as the weight carried increases.
