Episode 23 - Bra Fitting and Breast Health - Ask the expert
Description
LBSM Podcast: More Than Support: Bra Fitting, Breast Health & MSK Performance
Today, I’m joined by Elinor East, an experienced physiotherapist from Movement Perfected. We diving into a topic that affects more women than you might imagine, yet rarely gets discussed in the clinic or the gym - bra fitting and breast health, and how this can impact pain, posture, confidence, and even athletic performance.
Together, we’ll be exploring three key areas:
The clinical impact of poor bra fitting - from shoulder and back pain to posture, confidence, and mental health.
The role of breast support in sports performance - including fascinating research from Portsmouth University showing how the right bra can improve stride length, breathing, and energy efficiency.
And finally, the art and science of bra fitting - how style, material, brand, and even the time of the month can change the fit and feel, and why getting this right can transform comfort and confidence in movement.
If you need any further advice on this topic or have a topic you want discussed on the podcast, please get in contact!
