Is Sexy Back?

Is sexy back, or is being sexy hurting your back?

For all of you women who feel that you have to wear high heels to look sexy--listen up. High heels may cause you to look and feel powerful, confident, sexy and beautiful right now; but they are also causing pediatric problems. These problems can cause you to be an unsexy, unattractive cripple.

I know that there are numerous other reasons that you wear high heels. They make you appear taller and thinner. They make your legs look skinnier and longer. They make your butt look more lifted, and the swaying of your hips makes you feel more sexy, seductive and attractive to men. Boy you've got that right-- we are visual creatures!! But, how often are you wearing them and do you know the long term effects these high heels are having on your body?

They can injure tendons in your feet when worn over long periods of time. They cause muscular imbalances and postural problems. They shorten your calves making you vunerable to athritis and knee problems. When your hips become misaligned it causes back problems along with many others. Whenever imbalances occur in your body and you are compensating to alleviate pain, your entire body is open to injury.

Many women think that the statement they make by wearing high heels outweight the risk. Here are some options for those of you who don't want to be in a wheelchair or using a walker years from know saying "girl, I used to be a sexy thing a few years ago, now I can barely walk"......

There are plenty of pointy flats or ballerina flats that would look sexy with jeans or dresses. A small stacked heel with foot and arch support would be another choice. The main thing that I would suggest doing is to counter wearing the high heels with flats and laceup tennis shoes and wear the high heels like dessert-- only on special occasions!! If you feel that you have to wear high heels to dinner, wear tennis shoes the next day and stretch your calves alot. If you need to wear high heels to work, take them off as much as you can after you get there. Remember, now a days, women are excelling in the world based on their brains and skills. Men like that about women too.

I guess now you have a choice to make. How long do you want to be sexy?
