Owner of Femina Physical Therapy, Heather Jeffcoat, DPT spoke exclusively with Health Digest to explain the potential impact of not wearing a bra.
“Posture is all about how you hold yourself over your center of gravity,” she says. “If your sizing is a C cup or higher, there will be more pull in the front that could lead to strain on your upper back and neck, and postural changes throughout your spine.”
Dr. Jeffcoat recommends that those who prefer not to wear a bra, work on postural strength.
“This means they are routinely doing core work, back extension exercises, and targeted midback and shoulder strengthening such as rows and shoulder external rotation exercises.”
