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.
