SKIN One very common response to hormonal changes is hyperpigmentation in several areas of the body, especially the abdominal wall.

EFFECT OF ORTHOTICS ••Compresses and relieves pain in the abdominal area. Without diastasis ••Reduces stretch marks and helps firm sagging skin. With diastasis ••Lowers...
