Pregnancy
BENEFIT
The importance of using the Serola Sacroiliac Belt during and, especially, after pregnancy cannot be overemphasized. During pregnancy, the ligaments, under hormonal influences, become lax and stretch to allow the pelvis to spread for delivery. It is important to hold the sacroiliac and pubic joints firmly together after delivery in order to assist the ligaments in shortening and realigning the pelvis properly.
"After childbirth 147 patients used a pelvic belt. Of these patients 10% reported more pain, 23% no effect, & 67% a positive effect." J.M.A. Mens, et al 1992 "To remain stable, the SIJ utilizes a self-bracing mechanism consisting of the ligaments and muscles, as described by Vleeming, et al. This biomechanical model endorses the benefit of a sacroiliac belt for treatment of peripartum pain." Snijders CJ 1992
Studies have shown that, because all pelvic joints loosen during pregnancy, use of a sacroiliac belt will most likely prevent associated pain during and after pregnancy. Snidjers, et al 1992, Vleeming, et al 1990, Hansen JH 1992
"The influence of physical activities on pelvic pain and the relief with the use of a pelvic belt in about 60% of the patients implicates the locomotor system as a cause of pelvic pain, and not an inner organ such as the uterus." Use of a pelvic belt appears to be useful in treating peripartum pelvic pain. Snijders, et al 1992

"What a wonderful product - I had suffered for years with pain down my legs due to an automobile accident - and whilst pregnant with my now 20 month old son I went to talk to our hospital physician at an antenatal class. She noticed my discomfort in sitting and getting up and pulled me aside. I told her I had it for years and although it had gotten much worse with pregnancy there was nothing to do but grin and bear it. She told me that was nonsense and gave me one of Serola Sacroiliac belts, and I actually started to sleep the nights thru. I am using it again all during my current pregnancy and my pain is not even 25% of what it was before I knew of this belt. I can shop, walk, clean my house, work and better still sleep!"
