  • Are 'Killer' heels hazardous to your health?


    Leading posture and performance expert Dax Moy today warns female followers of fashion that the resurgence of the 5 inch-heel could seriously damage their health, not just by leading to postural problems, but also period pain and even infertility.

    The statement comes at a time when many designer labels, high street stores and fashion magazines are unveiling their spring/summer collections aimed at getting British Women to ‘glam up’ by wearing the 70’s inspired 5 inch ‘ankle breakers’.

    “Most women are intimately aware that the prolonged wearing of even moderate heels can cause foot, ankle and knee problems and lead to back pain, but very few are aware of the very real health consequences caused by these ‘unnatural’ positions.” Explains Moy who is counted among the UK’s top health and fitness Experts.

    “It’s not just about the feet, it effects EVERY single function in every joint and muscle throughout the body and can seriously effect the health of women that insist upon wearing them.”

    “More important than the postural problems involved however, is the potential problems that high heels can cause in relation to fertility, menstrual cycles and abdominal function.”

    “When you wear high-heels, the pressure on the front of the foot causes you to compensate by excessive forward tilting of the pelvis. This tilting allows the abdominal contents to spill forward, producing that ‘pooch’ that many women have wrongly come to think of a ‘fat stomach’ and in doing so compressing internal organs in a condition known as visceroptosis. If left unchecked this can lead to menstrual dysfunction and increases in period pains and well as affecting the ability to conceive.”

    Moy told ITV’s ‘This Morning’ viewers earlier today “It doesn’t stop there! Neck back, shoulder pain, stress headaches and even premature hair loss can all ensue as a result of ignoring the way your body is designed to work. Seriously, if you value your health in any way at all, avoid these, aptly named ‘killer heels at all costs, they’re just not worth the risk.”
