Wellgate Women's Products
Common sense tells us that Women and Men’s bodies are different. Medical research teaches us that Men and Women suffer differently from certain types of orthopedic pain.
Our W.O.W. Team (Wellgate Orthopedic Women Team) advises us on how to turn the medical research into products designed to help relieve your pain.
At Wellgate Products, we study the types of pain and injuries that women suffer from most often. By examining how women’s Biomechanics are unique, we can design products specifically contoured to alleviate a woman’s pain. For example, did you know that on average women’s knees angle towards each other slightly more than men’s, which can lead to kneecap tracking problems? Or that pregnancy is just one of the many factors that cause women to be 3 times more likely than men to suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Of course, Wellgate also sizes our products to fit the shape of women’s bodies. Men’s shoes or men’s pants have a different cut than women’s shoes or pants, and orthopedic products also need to be tailored to the body. Our products reflect women’s proportions in measurements such as the thigh, wrist and ankle.
