Women pay attention to shoe heels: besides causing schizophrenia they might affect your pelvic floor muscle activity!!

In both incontinent and continent young women (<50 yr old) an ankle plantar flexion (determined by shoe heels, for instance) might cause a posterior pelvic tilt that was able to maintain the same pelvic muscle tone as that from wearing flat moccasins, but slightly enhancing the contractile power of this musculature. To obtain this effect high heels were from 2 cmup to 5 cm, according to the different shoe sizes. We don’t know whether wearing heeled shoes will cause a further increase in schizophrenia in women or not, but it might affect their pelvic floor muscle activity, reducing myofascial pelvic pain relaxing the pelvic floor and improving pelvic organ well-being!
