Mom-EZ back supports help relieve pain by gently lifting the abdomen and providing support and compression to the hips and low back. Studies estimate that over 50% of women experience low back pain during their pregnancy. This pain is primarily due to the increase in body weight that naturally occurs while carrying a child, particularly in the abdominal (stomach) region. This extra weight puts stress on the body, especially the low back. Gravity pulls this weight downward, causing an exaggeration of the lordosis curve in the lumbar area (low back curve).
