DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BREASTS CAN BOUNCE UP TO 8cm DURING EXERCISE?
Tests at the Australian Institute of Sport, undertaken by Berlei, show that an unsupported ‘B’ cup can bounce up to 8cm and a ‘D’ cup 9.3cm during running. The pulling and tearing may lead to permanent damage.
In this day and age it’s important for active women to be aware of these facts and choose to be fitted with the correct type of bra to suit individual circumstances. In a larger bust, bounce can cause pain in the back, neck and shoulder areas, this discomfort and tenderness could be avoided.
Selecting and fitting the correct bra is no different than choosing other personal clothing!
Would you buy boots or runners that are either too small or too large?
Alive & Well specializes in personal one on one fittings and supply the correct bra for individual needs and it’s not unusual for a woman to try a number of bras before ensuring they are correctly fitted and feel comfortable.
Alive & Well’s workshop will demonstrate how to correctly fit your bra, not only for sport but for every day activities; I look forward to showing you the benefits that it can provide.
