Back pain from the bra?

Back pain is currently the number one common ailment. Who is surprised when we perform sedentary activities, look at our smartphones or tablets countless times a day, and thus overstrain our necks? We exercise less because we prefer to spend our free time differently, or we don't feel like jogging through the forest after work. Lack of exercise is the main reason for back problems. Poor posture and the resulting tension can lead to pain.

Even a bra can cause pain in the neck or the area of the thoracic spine – but very few of us realize this. If the bra straps are too tight and cut into the flesh, they press on muscles that harden, as well as on nerve pathways. This can lead to neck problems and headaches in sensitive people. This is especially often the case when the bra has to support a heavy bust, as the weight burdens the straps, which have to withstand a lot with a bust from D/E cup onwards. The solution to the problem? Bras with a firmer underbust band and high bridge that supports the bust and thus takes the load off the shoulders. Widened straps that are softly padded also help to avoid neck problems. At Anita and Rosa Faia there are bras for large busts with these "special effects" – the lingerie is fashionable and chic: No medical supply store style!
