How Physiotherapy Can be Directly Beneficial for Back Pain Associated with Large Breasts
Postural Correction
Research has shown that women with breast cups size D and above tend to have greater curvatures of the spine and poorer postures than smaller breasted women. Consequently, full-service physiotherapy interventions include postural correction. A full-service clinic that has a chiropractor on staff (such as Absolute PhysioCare) will have their chiropractor work to correct posture related musculoskeletal problems such as rounded shoulders, (aka kyphosis) which is common to larger breasted women.
Lower Back Pain Treatment and Therapy
Lower back pain is typically a result of changes in your centre of gravity as your body begins to fall outside of its normal alignment, due to the weight of your breasts. Your lower back muscles are required to work harder to keep the spine aligned, which in turn adds to the overall stress and pressure. Once again, a full-service clinic with a chiropractor on staff will come to the rescue with chiropractic treatments specific to lower back back pain.
Upper Back Pain Treatment and Therapy
The relationship between large breasts and upper back pain is more complex than it is with lower back pain. There are a number of other factors to consider, including your body frame and age along with daily activities (work and leisure) and lifestyle. That being said, research has demonstrated a link between large breasts and upper back pain. Furthermore, you’re searching for help because you’re experiencing it, which is ultimately what matters. A number of physiotherapy treatments can be employed to address the upper back pain and discomfort that you’re feeling, such as massage, acupuncture, dry needling, k-taping, and more.
Neck and Shoulder Pain Too
While you may have identified that back pain as your biggest impediment, the same body of research referenced above when discussing postural correction, has also uncovered that neck and shoulder pain are associated with size D cups. Physiotherapy will directly treat cooccurring neck pain (here’s how) and shoulder pain (click here).
Back Exercises for Women with Large Breasts
While in-clinic work is important, you require a regime that you can take home with you too. After all, large breasts aren’t an “injury” that will heal with time. They are a part of you. Your physiotherapist will create a customized program of back exercises that you can do at home, at work, at the gym, and wherever else you desire when feeling inspired.
