“Describing my symptoms of pain to my midwife, she immediately suggested the Smileybelt. I laughed and asked if it was ‘really’ called … and a few days into wearing my Smileybelt it lives up to its name!”
Melanie, Auckland
Back in the mid 90’s, Mum was working as a physiotherapist, regularly treating women with all manner of pregnancy-related issues. Frustratingly, the support belts used to help these painful pregnancy related problems weren’t readily available and well, they just weren’t designed with pregnant women in mind. Cue a light bulb moment – why not design a support belt specifically for pregnancy?! And so she did. Go mum.
Mum used her years of knowledge and experience and came up with a unique and effective pregnancy support belt. Unlike existing support bands, Mum’s clever bands were flexible, supportive, shaped to fit the pelvis and versatile (they could be worn for pelvic joint pain or low back and abdominal strain). Seeing the smiles of relief when her first two customers tried it on marked the moment she decided to call her support belt a Smileybelt. Cheesy, we know. But the smiles kept on rolling in. Quite honestly, the positive feedback we continue to get is what has kept us going all these years (check out what our relieved customers say here).
Smileybelt for Back Pain Is Born
To our surprise, we found out that many women passed their Smileybelts on to their partners, and it helped relieve their back pain too. This is how Smileybelt for back pain began. Now Smileybelts are worn by both women and men to relieve their back, pelvic and hip pain.
Three cheers for giving birth to Smileybelt Mum!
