According to performance insole company Spenco Medical Corporation, doctors have found a way to alleviate back, knee and hip pains with a new insole specifically designed for women.

The company claims that many active women have alignment problems due to the Q-angle, or quadriceps angle that exists between the thighbone and the pelvis. In order to facilitate childbirth, women have a broad and round pelvis that results in a greater Q-angle from the pelvis to the knee. This increased Q-angle contributes to poor body alignment.
