Posted by chris on 11/13/06 in Backpain
Wearing the right bra not only helps you look your best, but also help you feel your best. It is the basic thing to prevent neck, back and shoulder pain.
Recently a survey was conducted to find out what US Women say about their bras. Here are the interesting findings.
- Approximately three in five women say their bra causes back, shoulder or neck pain.
- Many claim comfort as the most important consideration for choosing a bra.
- Three in five claim their bra never seems to fit them quite right.
- Two in five claim their bra does not provide the needed support.
- Women attribute the bra’s band around the ribcage and the under wire makes them feel uncomfortable.
- Only 12 percent of women sought professional advice about a better fitting bra.
- Younger women mostly agree that their bra most of the times is unfit and their breasts often bounce while walking.
- Younger women also claimed that the shoulder straps of their bra always fall off.
Tips for women to alleviate back pain with right bra
- Every woman should know exactly what to look for in a bra. With professional bra fitting back pain can be easily alleviated.
- Women should wear bras that give them proper support and comfort for backs, shoulders and necks. A bra with the right support and form is important for overall spine health.
- Women should understand the fact that bras don’t cause pain; it is the weight of the breasts that cause it. Professional fitting and the right bra can easily solve the problem.
- Women should be properly measured and fitted for every three years.
- Every woman’s sizes change. Regular fittings are the only and an easy way to avoid back pain. A right bra gives you a feel that you don’t have it on.
